Tajikistan has resumed the electricity supply to Afghanistan and is considering to resume exports to Uzbekistan, Asia-Plus said.
Tajikistan’s Barqi Tojik Holding has reportedly resumed electricity supplies to Afghanistan as the water levels in the reservoir powering the Nurek HPP have reached the required level.
“Currently, up to 1.3 million kWh electricity is supplied to Afghanistan every day. We will try to increase supplies to this country if an opportunity arises,” Nozir Yodgori, the spokesman to the company, said.
Barqi Tojik is also considering the resumption of electricity supplies to Uzbekistan.
Tajikistan suspended electricity exports in July this year due to a dramatic drop in water levels in the Nurek Reservoir. On September 3, Barqi Tojik said water levels have reached the required mark of 910 meters above sea level.
According to Barqi Tojik, in the first six months of this year, it had exported 546.6 million kWh of electricity to Afghanistan and 358.3 million kWh to Uzbekistan.
