Tajik media reported that the country has exported more than $82.3 million worth of electricity to Afghanistan and Uzbekistan over the past eight months.

According to reports, electricity exports to Afghanistan consist of 80% of this number.

According to Tajik media, the country's electricity exports to neighbouring countries decreased by $2.8 million in 2024 compared to the same time last year.

Tajikistan produced about 15.4 billion kilowatt hours of electricity in the first eight months of 2024, of which it exported 6.5%.

The country has signed an electricity export agreement for 2024 with Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. Electricity exports to Uzbekistan are carried out only in the summer, but continue to Afghanistan in the autumn and winter seasons.

The contract for the transmission of electricity to Afghanistan was signed in January 2023 between the Taliban-controlled Breshna Electric Company and the head of the Tajikistan Electricity Company in Türkiye.

Afghanistan imports about 75 percent of its electricity needs from neighbouring countries, especially Central Asia.
