UZBEKISTAN HAS STOPPED THE OVERFLOW OF THE TURKMEN ELECTRIC POWER TO TAJIKISTAN

          Dushanbe, January, 5th. (Timur Bandishoev, Tojiddin Rizvon, the NIAT "Khovar"). — Deliveries of the electric power from Turkmenistan to Tajikistan per territory of Uzbekistan are stopped. Deliveries are stopped since January, 1st.  As the Khovar correspondent was informed in OJSC «Barqi Tojik» (Tajik Electricity System), the reason of a time suspension of an overflow of the Turkmen electric power to Tajikistan is that Tajikistan has not signed till now with Uzbekistan the contract for 2009 on transit of the electric power from Turkmenistan.           According to the source, the company management «Barqi Tojik» will visit in the near future Uzbekistan for signing of the new contract on transit of the Turkmen electric power. Predictably, this year Tajikistan will receive 800 million Kwt electricity from Turkmenistan.
