From December 30, 2025, to January 1, 2026, Tajikistan will be fully supplied with electricity, without any power restrictions. This was confirmed by Qurbon Ahmadzoda, head of the press center of Barqi Tojik, in a statement to Asia-Plus.
According to him, electricity rationing will resume on January 2. However, no power outages are planned for central areas of cities and administrative centers of districts, where electricity will be provided without interruption.
Currently, most regions of the country continue to operate under power rationing. The power rationing, introduced in autumn 2025, is due to increased seasonal demand and reduced energy production.
Residents of rural areas have been reporting regular outages, stating that electricity is typically available for only 6–7 hours a day.
Tajikistan struggles with electricity rationing 30 years after independence, despite long-held dreams of becoming an energy export powerhouse.
Measures rationing electricity supplies are usually introduced in all regions of the country except Dushanbe, regional administrative centers and major cities of the country and they seek to curb the country's rising electricity consumption. In addition to curbing rising consumption, the move also stems from a decline in the water level in the country's reservoirs powering the main hydroelectric power plants.
