Tajikistan has significantly increased the export of electricity

Tajikistan in January-July of this year exported electricity worth over $64.5 million, according to the statistical department of the republic.

This is 17.2% more than in the same period of 2021, when foreign consumers were supplied with Tajik electricity worth $55 million.

The main consumer of Tajik electricity is Afghanistan, and supplies are also made to Uzbekistan in relatively smaller volumes.

In accordance with the agreements signed, Afghanistan pays 4.67 cents for each kWh of Tajik electricity, and Uzbekistan pays 2 cents.

The low tariff for Uzbekistan is due to the fact that Tajikistan, in turn, receives Uzbek natural gas at a reduced price.
