The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) has provided 14 off-grid solar power systems to remote areas in Jamoat Sarichashma, Shamsiddin Shohin district in the Khatlon region of Tajikistan. These systems aim to bring electricity to farms, households, schools, and border posts along the Tajik-Afghan border, areas that previously lacked reliable power access. As per the OSCE, this initiative will improve living, learning, and working conditions for up to 1,000 people in the region. Schools, once forced to close early due to darkness, will now stay open, enhancing education continuity, while saving TJS 4,000-5,000 annually. The OSCE plans to monitor the project’s sustainability through 2025, in collaboration with the Tajikistan Government, and supported by the Tajikistan-based Public Organization “Nerui Toza” and Aarhus Centre Bokhtar. This will help it address energy vulnerabilities in Central Asia, especially concerning Afghanistan’s energy crisis.
