Mainly, electricity generated by the Sangtuda-1 and Sangtuda-2 hydroelectric power plants was supplied to the neighboring Afghanistan.

Last month, Tajikistan supplied some 223 million kWh of electricity to Afghanistan, which is nearly 23 million kWh more than in the same period last year.  

In September, Tajikistan also supplied electricity to Kyrgyzstan.  Last month Tajikistan supplied 11.4 million kWh of electricity to Kyrgyzstan, which is 2.2 million kWh more than in September last year.

In September, Tajikistan reportedly generated more than 1.4 billion kWh of electricity, which is 3.1 percent fewer than in August. 

Last month, total Tajikistan electricity consumption was 1.2 billion kWh, which is 10.5 percent fewer compared to August.  

Tajikistan has sufficient summer-time (defined as May 1 to September 30) hydropower surpluses to export to the neighboring countries.

Tajikistan mainly exports electricity generated by Sangtuda-1 and Sangtuda-2 hydroelectric power plants.

In Tajikistan, current price of one kilowatt-hour electricity for residential customers is 16.85 dirams.
