DUSHANBE, Tajikistan, January 26. As a result
of measures taken by the Government of Tajikistan, electricity
production increased by 7 percent in 2025 compared to 2024,
Trend reports via
the press service of the President of Tajikistan.


The statement was made by Tajik Prime Minister Kohir Rasulzoda
at an expanded meeting of the country’s government held under the
chairmanship of President Emomali Rahmon.


According to the prime minister, electricity output reached 24
billion kWh during the reporting period.


The prime minister emphasized that, to ensure sustainable
development of the energy sector and achieve set objectives, 13
state-funded investment projects were implemented in 2025, totaling
14.9 billion somoni ($1.6 billion).


He also noted that despite complex global challenges and their
negative impact on the national economy, 2025 proved to be a
successful year for Tajikistan, with significant achievements
recorded in the country’s political and socio-economic
development.







President Rahmon emphasized that the results achieved provide a
solid foundation for further socio-economic development and the

Tajikistan's electricity generation is predominantly reliant on
hydropower, accounting for approximately 95% to 98% of total
production. Key plants include the Nurek HPP, which supplies over
70% of the country's energy and is among the world's highest dams.
The Rogun HPP, currently under construction, aims to be the largest
in the region. Other significant facilities on the Vakhsh River
include Sangtuda-1, Sangtuda-2, and Baipaza HPP.


The Kayrakkum HPP on the Syr Darya River supports northern
regions. To address winter shortages, combined heat and power
plants and small hydropower stations are also utilized. Moreover,
solar energy projects are expanding, with a goal of achieving 10%
of energy mix diversification by 2030, alongside the CASA-1000
project for energy export to Pakistan and Afghanistan.


The GDP growth rate in the nation is anticipated to be 5.5%,
with a nominal GDP per capita of around $1.8 thousand USD and a GDP
per capita PPP of about $6.43 thousand international dollars. The
economy is primarily driven by industrialization, infrastructure
development, mining, and remittances, with agriculture contributing
around 20% of GDP and aluminum and cotton as the main export
commodities.
