Almost all of Tajikistan without electricity

Almost all of Tajikistan Friday sat for hours without power.

The aluminum plant Talco, the largest energy consumer but a goldmine of hard currency, fears have been seriously damaged. In Dushanbe, the capital of the impoverished country on the border with Afghanistan, it was about four hours dark. Even the traffic lights were not functioning. Sparsely, neighborhood by neighborhood, the power came back on track.

Tajikistan wants precisely this weekend to give the go-ahead for the construction of the new power station to Lake Rogoen. The Italian company Salini Impregilo, which may realize for more than 3.5 billion euros.
