塔吉克能源公司解释冬季限电和电力出口问题
2021-11-23
Up to now, except gorno Badakhshan Autonomous Prefecture powered by Pamir energy company, power outages have occurred in almost all areas of the tower. Since early October this year, netizens in Tajikistan have often complained about a new round of power rationing measures on social networks. They believe that power rationing measures have nothing to do with power maintenance. In addition, it is puzzling that Tajikistan is still selling electricity to its neighbors, including Afghanistan.
After the independence of Tajikistan, the power generation and power consumption have increased significantly. The current annual power generation is 20-21 billion kwh, with an average daily power generation of 50 million kwh. In the 1990s, the annual power consumption of the national population was about 1 billion kwh. In recent years, the power consumption in summer has increased by 35% - 40% and that in winter by 50%.
Nulek hydropower station is the main power source of the tower, and the ideal storage height of its reservoir is 857-910m. The hydropower capacity of the tower in winter depends on the reservoir storage capacity of the hydropower station. The establishment of sangtuda 1 and 2 hydropower stations and Dushanbe thermal power center has alleviated the problem of power shortage in winter. The Tajik government welcomes private companies and individuals to invest in wind or solar power plants, and advocates residents to save electricity.
The representative of Tajik energy company said that hydropower accounts for more than 90% of Tajikistan's energy structure, but there has been a shortage of water resources for power supply in the past two years. Since 1932, the Vakhsh river has experienced a water shortage cycle every 12-13 years, and is now in a new water shortage cycle. In addition, before winter comes, power engineers will repair and inspect large power equipment all over the country. Therefore, it is necessary to close the switch, but this is by no means taking power restriction measures.
As for the export of electricity to neighbouring countries, the representative of the power sector explained that there was indeed a power shortage problem in Tajikistan, but in recent years, electricity was exported to neighbouring Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan only when the residential power demand accounted for a small proportion of power generation (about 35%) in summer; In other words, the tower's power export is carried out in full accordance with reasonable planning and will not damage the power demand of domestic residents. In addition, Tajikistan has established power exchange systems with Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, so that Tajikistan can obtain power compensation in time. According to the contract signed with Afghanistan, the tower only supplies power to Afghanistan in summer. At this stage, the export volume is very small, just to maintain the operation of power generation equipment.
