What Rogun HPP is and why it matters
Rogun HPP is one of Tajikistan’s largest infrastructure projects and a major component of the country’s long-term energy development plans.
Located on the Vakhsh River about 100 km east of Dushanbe, Rogun HPP is designed to strengthen domestic electricity supply while supporting regional electricity trade and cooperation in Central Asia.
The project is being implemented in stages and includes large-scale civil, hydraulic, underground, and power generation infrastructure.
