With the zeal of the Leader of the Nation, dear Emomali Rahmon, today every family of the Tajik people is full and solemn. If in the first years of state independence there were only 25 small and large hydroelectric power plants with a capacity of 4,404. 35 MW in the country, today the number of such sources of environmentally friendly electricity production has reached more than 306 units, the total capacity of which is 6 thousand 120.59 MW. With the introduction of new capacities of the industry, Tajikistan not only fully achieves energy independence, but also becomes a country exporting cheap energy. In order to strengthen energy independence, with the instructions and instructions of the Founder of Peace and National Unity-the Leader of the Nation, the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, the respected Emomali Rahmon, electricity production in the country is increasing every year.
