Tajikistan faces a worsening energy crisis, with winter rationing starting a month earlier than usual due to water shortages and a growing population.
Tajik officials have backed off comments that the energy situation in the country is improving, admitting that electricity rationing is being introduced a month earlier than usual this year. Electricity rationing has turned into an annual routine in the tightly controlled former Soviet republic over the past three decades. It is usually introduced in late October or early November.
In August, Barqi Tojik said annual electricity rationing, which usually lasts for six to seven months from autumn to spring, will be scrapped only after the construction of the Roghun hydroelectric plant is completed.
