As part of the official visit of the President of Tajikistan to Uzbekistan, a ceremony was held today to launch the construction of the Yavan hydroelectric power station on the Zarafshan River.
Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Emomali Rahmon launched the construction of the HPP by pressing a symbolic button.
This is the first major project of bilateral energy cooperation. A modern plant with a capacity of 140 megawatts will play an important role in ensuring energy security, sustainability of the water and agricultural sectors of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
Engineering work will be carried out entirely on the basis of modern standards with the involvement of experienced companies.
Leading international institutions, including the Asian Development Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, showed interest in financing the project.
The construction of the HPP will provide “green” energy to thousands of households and new enterprises.
