Sustainable Financing for Rogun Hydropower Project

The objective of the Sustainable Financing for Rogun Hydropower Project for Tajikistan is to increase the supply of clean, affordable, and climate-resilient hydroelectricity for consumers in Tajikistan and the Central Asia region. There are four components to the project, the first component being construction activities. Activities include: (i) design and supply of replacement runners for generating units 5 and 6 and design, supply, and installation of electro-mechanical equipment for generating units 3 and 4 with a combined installed capacity of approximately 1,260 MW, including turbines, generators, frequency governor, excitation system, electrical systems, unit-related monitoring system, cooling water system, compressed air system for the governor, fire detection and suppression systems (lot 1); and (ii) installation of replacement runners for generating units 5 and 6 and other turbine rehabilitation works and control system integration (lot 1A). The design of electromechanical equipment includes design specifications that account for projected increases in precipitation due to climate change, thereby minimizing the risk of damage or dam failure. The second component is the project implementation support. This component includes project management consultants, employer costs, and implementation support. The third component is implementing a resettlement action plan (rap) and livelihood restoration plan. Finally, the fourth component is the hydro-meteorological activities. This component includes hydromet investments, TA for improved water use, and monitoring water use.
