BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
The objective of the PPTA project was to assist Government of Tajikistan by preparing the investment Project suitable for ADB financing, which will aim to rehabilitate and modernize the existing facilities in southern Tajikistan, covering generation, transmission, and distribution of the electric power. The TA was implemented in two stages.
- Stage 1 consisted of the review of sector issues and preparation of a least-cost development plan for the southern system, after reviewing and updating the existing load forecast and studying relevant options for reducing the power deficit. First, the rapid assessment of the rehabilitation needs of the four HPPs located on Vakhsh River and an assessment of the rehabilitation needs for the transmission and distribution systems in Khatlon Region has been conducted. Second, the screening and ranking of these potential subprojects in light of likely accompanying tariff policies was made.
- Stage 2 consisted of the feasibility study of the top-ranked generation projects and the transmission and distribution subprojects, including bulk and residential electric metering. The technical, economic, and financial viability of the Project has been evaluated, the financing plan developed, and initial environmental and social impact examination has been carried out.
