In 2025, Tajikistan significantly increased its electricity exports, supplying neighboring countries with 5.356 billion kWh. This is an increase of 37.3% (or 1.454 billion kWh) compared to the previous year, according to the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources and reports from Asia-Plus.
The main importers of Tajik electricity include:
▪️ Afghanistan, which received 1.8 billion kWh worth 742 million somoni ($79.1 million), accounting for over 80% of the total exports to these three countries;
▪️ Uzbekistan, which imported 895 million kWh worth 170 million somoni ($18.1 million);
▪️ Kyrgyzstan, which purchased 12 million kWh for 1 million somoni ($106.6 thousand).
Thus, electricity exports to these three countries brought Tajikistan 913 million somoni ($97.3 million), with a total supply volume of 2.7 billion kWh.
The Ministry noted that over 90% of the supplies occurred from April to September, when the water level in the rivers is at its highest.
