Dushanbe is going to face tougher electricity rationing. This was announced today by the electricity monopolist Barqi Tojik. Beginning from today and till undetermined period the population of Tajik capital will be supplied with eleven hours of electricity a day [rus].

“In accordance with the new schedule of electricity rationings, the micro-districts, [where most of the population lives], will be supplied with electricity from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.” – said the source [in Barki Tojik].

According to the source, rationing will not effect the “vital areas” (where hospitals and governmental buildings etc. are located).

This year, the electricity rationing in Dushanbe was introduced on 1st of January. You can read here and here about the reasons of introducing electricity rationing in the capital.

Last time I reported about the electricity crisis in Tajikistan in general. You can read my piece, edited by Schwartz here.
