The Rogun Hydropower Plant (Rogun HPP) is the flagship energy infrastructure project of the Republic of Tajikistan and a cornerstone of the country’s long-term energy strategy and regional electricity connectivity efforts in Central Asia. Located on the Vakhsh River, Rogun HPP is designed to harness Tajikistan’s significant hydropower potential to provide reliable, affordable, and low-carbon electricity for domestic use and export to neighbouring countries. By increasing generation capacity and reducing seasonal electricity shortages, Rogun HPP will contribute to strengthening national energy security, supporting sustainable economic growth, and advancing Tajikistan’s role as a producer of renewable energy in Central Asia. Rogun HPP represents one of the largest hydropower developments in the region, combining complex engineering solutions with international cooperation and established environmental and social standards. In addition to electricity generation, the project is expected to contribute to improved energy reliability, reduced flood risks, and job creation.
