The Korean government has officially launched the second phase of its electricity supply project in Tajikistan, with a groundbreaking ceremony held at the Yavroz electrical substation, located in an area subordinate to Vahdat Township.
The project, implemented through the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), aims to construct a new Yavroz substation (110/10 kV), expand the Romit substation (110/20/10 kV), install a new transformer, and build 60 km of transmission and distribution lines to supply electricity to 15 villages in the Romit area.
KOICA is funding the project with a total of $14 million, which is expected to provide electricity access to over 8,000 residents in the mountainous region.
This second phase follows the successful completion of the first phase from 2017 to 2021, which connected nine villages—about 1,500 households—to the electricity grid through the construction of a new substation and distribution lines.
At the ceremony, Korean Ambassador to Tajikistan Jeon Sung-sik, Deputy Minister of Energy and Water Resources Bahodour Safarzoda, and Vahdat Mayor Mirzo Ismoilzoda addressed attendees.
Ambassador Jeon highlighted the project as a symbol of Korea-Tajikistan friendship, stating, “I am very pleased to support Tajikistan and look forward to the success of this project.”
Deputy Minister Safarzoda emphasized the government’s commitment to improving the quality of life for local residents, while Mayor Ismoilzoda noted that the first phase of the project had already brought electricity to remote mountainous communities, significantly enhancing living standards.Korean Government Launches Phase II of Power Grid Project in Vahdat, Tajikistan

The first phase of the project delivered tangible benefits: households gained access to heating, cooling, and kitchen appliances; schools were equipped for better education with electricity and computers; and local health centers received reliable power. The improved electricity supply also supported economic development, including the creation of new trout farming businesses in the Romit region.Korean Government Launches Phase II of Power Grid Project in Vahdat, Tajikistan
