Under the new rates, electricity prices for residential customers will rise by 6 dirams per kilowatt-hour. As a result, the tariff for residential consumers will increase from 35.38 to 41.37 dirams per kWh.

1. Industrial and non-industrial consumers — 94.65

Until 2016, electricity tariffs in Tajikistan were increased every two years, only in even-numbered years. Since then, tariff hikes have occurred annually, with the exception of 2020–2021, when the government refrained from raising prices due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The most recent tariff increase, including for household consumers, took effect on April 1, 2025—about nine months before the latest adjustment.
