World Bank Stresses Significance Of Tajikistan’s Rogun HPP Construction

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
DUSHANBE, Tajikistan, April 22. The Rogun
Hydropower Plant (HPP) project in Tajikistan is an important
regional project, said Charles Cormier, the World Bank’s
Infrastructure Regional Director for Europe and Central Asia,
Trend reports via
the Ministry of Finance of Tajikistan.

Cormier made the statement during a meeting with Tajikistan’s
Minister of Finance, Faiziddin Kahhorzoda, held in Washington,
D.C., on the sidelines of the Spring Meetings of the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group (WBG).

During the talks, the parties discussed ongoing efforts to
advance the Rogun HPP project, mobilize additional financing,
implement existing financial agreements, and improve coordination
among development partners.

Cormier emphasized that the Rogun plant will not only help close
Tajikistan’s domestic electricity gap, especially during the winter
months, but also allow for the export of clean, renewable energy to
neighboring countries, contributing to broader regional energy
security.

Kahhorzoda expressed gratitude to the World Bank for its
continuous support and highlighted the importance of close
cooperation to ensure the effective implementation of financial
arrangements related to the project.

The Rogun HPP, located on the Vakhsh river, is planned to
include six generating units of 600 MW each. Two units are
currently operational, with a third expected to be commissioned in
2025. Once fully completed, the facility is projected to produce
more than 17 billion kWh of electricity annually.

The plant is projected to generate electrical power for
approximately 10 million consumers and facilitate the exportation
of up to 70 percent of its production to the markets of Kazakhstan
and Uzbekistan.
