BAKU, Azerbaijan,
August 21. The timely completion of the Rogun
Hydropower Plant and the full commissioning of its capacity are
vital for Tajikistan.


This was reflected in the statement by the press service of the
Tajik president, citing President Rahmon's remarks made at a
meeting with employees working in the construction of the Rogun
HPP.


“By building and commissioning Rogun, we are ensuring the
prosperous present and bright future of our beloved homeland –
Tajikistan – as well as a happy life for present and future
generations,” Rahmon said.


He noted that amid current global conditions, energy security
has become one of the key objectives for states. According to the
president, each completed stage of the Rogun HPP project brings
Tajikistan closer to its strategic national goal of achieving full
energy independence and developing a green economy.


Rahmon also stressed the need to comply with international
quality and safety standards during construction. “Any deviation
from quality and safety requirements is unacceptable at such a
unique project of the century,” the president said. Rahmon
described Rogun HPP as the country's largest hydropower project and
one of the world's highest dams. He stressed that its stability,
reliability and safety must therefore be fully ensured.







Meanwhile, the Rogun Hydropower Plant is being built on the
Vakhsh River in southern Tajikistan and is one of the country's
largest infrastructure projects. Once completed, the facility is
planned to have an installed capacity of 3,780 megawatts.


The project includes the construction of a 335-meter-high
rockfill dam, which is expected to become the world's tallest of
its kind. The dam and reservoir are being developed in complex
mountainous and underground geological conditions, requiring
large-scale excavation, tunneling, and construction works.


Rogun HPP is intended to increase Tajikistan's electricity
generation capacity and improve the country's energy security,
while also creating additional potential for electricity exports to
regional markets.


Construction of the plant has been carried out in stages, with
work focusing on the dam, underground structures, tunnels and
reservoir. The project remains a major priority for the Tajik
government as the country seeks to expand its hydropower capacity
and strengthen its energy infrastructure.
