(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 22. Tajikistan
exported electricity for more than $4.3 million in January 2023,
which is an increase of almost 50 percent or $1.4 million, compared
to January 2022, according to the State Statistical Agency of
Tajikistan, trend reports via Tajik media.
According to the Barqi Tojik (national integrated power company
of Tajikistan), Tajikistan exported electricity to Afghanistan,
Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan in January 2023.
These supplies were made in the frame of preparation of
Tajikistan's energy system for joining the Central Asian Power
System (CPAS).
Earlier this year, Tajikistan's Energy Ministry said that the
connection of power grids from the central part of Tajikistan to
the CPAS via Uzbekistan's power transmission lines would be
completed no later than in April 2023.
CAPS, a regional electricity transmission network, was created
under the Soviet Union. For today, CAPS coordinates its operation
among Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. In recent
decades, power exchange within CAPS has faced a downward tendency,
and Tajikistan's disconnection from Uzbekistan in 2009 limited the
effectiveness of an interconnected CAPS.
According, to the statistics, Tajikistan exported electricity
for more than $106 million in 2022, which is up by 10.6 percent
compared to 2021.
