15. 15 In Tajik energy strategy, developed in beginnings of 80 th, was planned intensive development of energy sector of Tajikistan based on building of new big HPPs. This program was supposed to provide putting in operation of new hydro power plants with capacity of 22400 MW, and with annual production more than 86,8 billion KWH, that should be increased overall capacity of Tajik energy sector on five time more..

16. 16 Nowadays Tajik Government made significant efforts on development of existing hydro power resources, as way to cover internal electricity deficit as well as to increase electricity export. At the same time development of energy sector considered issues of rational energy use.

17. Tajikistan is considering that internal energy security cannot be reached by reducing of energy security of neighbor countries.

18. 18 Today’s efforts on building of hydro power facilities are directed on balancing of hydro and energy problems and mobilization of internal resources for achieving of sustainability on whole territory of Central Asia.

19. - The Government of the RT defined two priorities for the energy sector development: first – reformation of the internal energy sector of the country, second – export market orientation.

20. 20 Today in Tajikistan was created legal base for energy sector development in transition, including Energy law, Energy saving law, Water Code, Renewable energy sources law, related legal norms in Tax Code and Civil Code and etc

21. 21 Министерство энергетики Республики Таджикистан Framework of Fuel and Energy Sector of the Republic of Tajikistan for 2003-2015 stipulates continued reconstruction and modernization of the main objects of the energy system, construction of new hydro power plants and further infrastructure development.

22. 22 The HPP modernization and rehabilitation projects stipulate increase of capacity up to 10%, which would allow increasing installed capacity of HPP by 350-400 MW. The HPP modernization and rehabilitation projects stipulate increase of capacity up to 10%, which would allow increasing installed capacity of HPP by 350-400 MW.

23. 23 Social protection programs or “reduced tariff” were introduced in Tajikistan to help those below the poverty line pay the bills for consumed electricity.

24. 24 In framework of middle-term development program (2006-2012 ) planned completion of construction of large HPPs that were started in the 1990s: Rogunsk-1 HPP and Sangtuda-2 HPP

25. 25 Nowadays building of Sangtuda-2 HPP is in the progress, operation of HPP will start from 2011, the capacity of this HPP is 930 billion KWH. Nowadays building of Sangtuda-2 HPP is in the progress, operation of HPP will start from 2011, the capacity of this HPP is 930 billion KWH.

26. 26 The construction of largest HPP - Rogun was started in the 1980s. The capacity of Rogun HPP is 3600 MW, with 6 aggregates per 600 MW each, and with annual production 13,4 billon KWH.

27. 27 With a modernization of existing HPPs, introduction Sangtuda-2 HPP and first line of Rogunsk HPP, the electricity production in Tajikistan will reach 26.4 billion kWh.

28. 28 98 % of annual energy supply in Tajikistan is provided by hydro-electric sources, that depended from annual water content. With aim to reduce such dependence, nowadays Tajikistan develops new thermal power plants based on coal. 98 % of annual energy supply in Tajikistan is provided by hydro-electric sources, that depended from annual water content. With aim to reduce such dependence, nowadays Tajikistan develops new thermal power plants based on coal.

29. Developed technical statements for Thermal Power Plant (TPP) Dushanbe-2, Shurob TPP (300 MW) and Fan-Yagnob TPP (1500 MW). Building of TPP Dushanbe-2 was started on 2009 and planned year of operation start will be at 2011 ( 100 MW).

30. In 2014 Tajikistan, with completion of short-term development program, planned to solve problem with energy security.

31. 31 With aim to transfer electricity from new HPPs to areas of Tajikistan with energy deficit and for further export of electricity surplus was developed a set of investment projects on building new high-voltage transmission lines.

32. 32 In short-term period Pakistan and Afghanistan confirmed, that they may receive accordingly 1000 MW and 300 MW of electricity producing in Tajikistan.

33. 33 Construction of high-voltage-500kV line “South-North” (Dushanbe-Khujand ) length about - 263 km. Project cost - 282 mln. USD Designed for transfer of electricity for north part of country. Starting of operation: December 2009 Building started at September 15, 2006
