Projects List

Oshelectro Rehabilitation Project

The program aims to rehabilitate and modernize low and medium voltage networks, including installation of number of smart meters in Osh and Batken regions in the south of the Kyrgyz Republic.

Renewable Energy Development

The technical assistance aims to increase the share of renewable energy in Afghanistan by developing a roadmap, developing hybrid wind/solar/diesel renewable energy projects, and increasing the necessary institutional capacity in the country.

Toktogul Rehabilitation Phase 2 Project

The project will help upgrade the Kyrgyz Republic's largest power plant, Toktogul, which produces 40% of the country's electricity supply and regulates power frequency for Central Asia.

Study for a Power Sector Financing Roadmap within CAREC

The CAREC Power Sector Financing Roadmap, to be prepared under the technical assistance, will assess the capacity and willingness of CAREC countries to finance power infrastructure development from their own resources, and examine other potential sources of financing, for both national and cross-border projects.

Electricity Supply Accountability and Reliability Improvement Project

The objective of the proposed Electricity Supply Accountability and Reliability Improvement project is to improve the reliability of the electricity supply in the capital city Bishkek, as well as the Chui and Talas regions—an area served by the state-owned power distribution company Severelectro JSC—and to strengthen the governance of Severlectro’s operations.

Europe and the CIS Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative

The regional initiative covers Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan as CAREC countries. The program is to support countries and provide policy and advisory technical assistance as well as research and development assistance.

Energy Sector Development Investment Program, Tranche 5

The project will build a 500-kilovolt (kV)/220-kV substation at Dashte Alwan, which will connect to a 500-kV transmission line crossing the Hindukush mountains via the Salang Pass route. This will add 1,000 megawatts to the system and allow power imports from Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

Golovnaya 240-Megawatt Hydropower Plant Rehabilitation Project

The project will refurbish electric and mechanical equipment for power generation and transmission at the Golovnaya Hydropower Plant in Tajikistan, which will raise generation capacity to 252 megawatts (MW) from 240 MW.

North–South Power Transmission Enhancement Project (formerly Power Distribution Project)

The project will construct a 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line about 225 kilometers (km) long across the Hindukush mountain range between the northern town of Dashte Alwan and Kabul, at the southern end. It will include a new 500-kV / 220-kV substation to connect to the grid in Kabul, Afghanistan's capital.

Energy Development 2014–2023

The project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA) will conduct due diligence for an ensuing ADB project aimed to increase electricity supply and access to electricity and increase gas supply for electricity production and industrial uses.

Addendum to the Afghanistan Power Sector Master Plan

The technical assistance supported Afghanistan in preparing its Power Sector Master Plan.

Toktogul Rehabilitation Project Phase 2

The technical assistance will conduct detailed due diligence for both Phases 2 and 3 of the Toktogul hydroelectric power plant (HPP) Rehabilitation Project.

Energy Efficiency Project

The project consists of two components: investment and technical assistance. The first part will finance eligible subprojects to support a reduction in energy use of public buildings such as schools, kindergartens, clinics/hospitals, and street lighting. The second part concerns technical assistance to help ensure effective project implementation.

Energy Sector Dialogue

Enhancing Regional Power Trade Study

The World Bank commissioned a study to estimate unrealized benefits from regional power trade for the four Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan during the period from 2010–2014.

Energy Sector Development Investment Program, Tranche 4

The project will install transmission lines to expand the network in North–West Afghanistan and to connect to the Turkmenistan system. It will also extend the distribution network southeast of Kabul, the capital.

Takhiatash Power Plant Efficiency Improvement Project

The main objective of the technical assistance is to prepare the Takhiatash Power Plant Efficiency Improvement Project.

Power Sector Rehabilitation Project (formerly Power Transmission Rehabilitation)

The project will help rehabilitate the 1,200-megawatt Toktogul hydroelectric power plant, which is critical to national and regional power supply. The project will also establish an electricity transactions settlement center to reduce commercial losses, conduct safety assessment of dams on the Naryn cascade, and launch a public information program on power sector reforms.

Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan–India (TAPI) Natural Gas Pipeline Project, Phase 3

The project will enhance energy trading between Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.

Promotion of Energy Efficient Lighting in Kazakhstan

The project reflects national priorities in the field of energy conservation through transition to energy efficient lighting equipment which facilitates the country’s progress to sustainability.
