The contracted works (Lot 1A), which comprise the disassembly and replacement of runners and reinstallation of generators, and associated restoration works, are to be financed by the World Bank and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank under the Sustainable Financing for Rogun hydropower project.
The 3780 MW Rogun storage scheme on the river Vakhsh will comprise a rockfill dam with a clay core, which at 335 m-high will be the world’s highest dam, as well as an underground powerhouse with six 630 MW units. The main civil works are being carried out by WeBuild. Voith is the electromechanical equipment supplier.
The project is being developed in two phases. Phase 1 includes achieving by 2029 a dam height of el. 1185 and an installed capacity of 1660 MW, with the dam height and installed capacity to be raised to el. 1300 and 3780 MW, respectively, in the second phase by 2035. Two units totalling 780 MW were brought online early as a temporary measure to allow Tajikistan to reduce power shortages during winter, and raise revenue from the export of part of its output to help fund the project. The first unit came online in November 2018 and the second in September 2019.
