Power Plants in Tajikistan

Tajikistan has 19 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 93rd-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and under 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 9 operating and 10 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 6.3 GW across 9 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Nurek hydroelectric plant (2.7 GW).

The largest owner-operators are OSHC "Barki Tojik" (11), State Committee on Investment and State Property Management (SCI) of the Republic of Tajikistan (2) and Barqi Tojik OJSC (1) — OSHC "Barki Tojik" alone is named on 58% of them. Half of Tajikistan's power plants in service predate 1985 (median commissioning year of the 9 with a known date), 1 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Kairakkum hydroelectric plant, dating from 1956. 10 are in the pipeline, led by Rogun hydroelectric plant (2.4 GW), under construction. They account for 51% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Tajikistan.
