ADB grants $15m to boost Tajikistan’s grid upgrade

Another 22-km transmission line will be built.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has granted Tajikistan additional financing worth $15m to assist in the country’s ongoing project to reconnect its power system to the Central Asian Power System (CAPS) through interconnections with Uzbekistan.

Through the additional funding, a new 22 kilometre, 500-kilovolt transmission line will be built in northern Tajikistan, which is between the country’s Sughd substation and the New Syrdarya substation in Uzbekistan.

“It will scale up the transmission capacity for power exports and imports among CAPS countries, which include Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, and strengthen infrastructure to prevent grid failures which lead to blackouts,” ADB said.

The project will also play a crucial role in Tajikistan's long-term energy strategy, enabling the integration of renewable energy and supporting the power evacuation scheme for the Rogun hydropower plant.
