Kazakhstan and Tajikistan have signed a long-term electricity supply agreement, Orda.kz reports.
Under the deal, electricity will be delivered from the Rogun hydroelectric power station to Kazakhstan’s southern regions during periods of planned shortage.
Details of the agreement were published on the “Adilet” portal of regulatory legal acts.
According to the document, Rogun HPP will supply electricity at a price of $0.034 per kilowatt-hour, including VAT.
The energy will be transmitted through the power systems of Central Asian countries and distributed to Kazakhstan in line with daily consumption schedules approved by KEGOC JSC.
Payments are to be made within 35 days of each billing period.
The agreement is valid for 20 years, with the possibility of a 10-year extension. It also includes provisions for telemetry data exchange, hourly metering of supplies, and annual indexation of electricity prices. In the event of a dispute, arbitration will be conducted in Singapore.
The Rogun hydroelectric power station, located on the Vakhsh River, is set to become the largest in Central Asia, with a capacity of 3,600 MW.
Its dam, at 335 meters high, will be the tallest in the world. The project is a cornerstone of Tajikistan’s energy strategy and is expected to play a crucial role in stabilizing the region's electricity supply.
