PamirEnergy, a project company of the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development, is operating all power generation, transmission and distribution facilities of GBAO under a 25-year concession agreement with the Government of Tajikistan. In its initial phase PamirEnergy doubled the installed capacity at the Pamir I power plant, enabling most of the plant’s Khorog customers to have electricity 24 hours a day for the first time since the end of the Soviet era. Now cross-border transmission lines between Tajikistan and Afghanistan enable PamirEnergy to also export surplus power to Shugnan, Afghanistan and Afghan Ishkashim.
