World Potential (TAJIKISTAN)
Small hydro
A total of 69 small hydro plants (with a total capacity
of 32 MW) were built between 1940 and 1978. Interest in small
scale plants then declined and most of these plants decommissioned,
leaving only five in operation(with a total capacity of 13.87
MW), all in the mountainous Badahsan Independence region of
Pamir.
Four new small plants were under construction in 1996: Ziddi
(500 kW); Teharv (360 kW); Anderoag (230 kW); and Pasthuff
(500 kW). Two others are planned: Sirkent 2 (100 kW) and Yazgulem(2
MW).
A plan for further development of small hydro plants, envisaging
the construction of 179 plants, has been drawn up: 51 in the
range of 100 to 500 kW; 67 in the range of 500 to 1000 kW;
55 in the range of 1 to 3 MW; and, six of more than 3 Mw.
It is proposed that all these plants can be constructed using
standardized equipment, involving four types of Pelton turbines
and three types of reaction turbines.
