Chapter 3 describes two most promising financing mechanism options: (i) the ESCO model’s Energy Performance Contracts (EPC) and (ii) Bulk procurement programs and fiscal incentives to promote investment in higher-efficiency distribution transformers. Read MoreDownload files
Dushanbe-2 power station is the only coal-fired plant in Tajikistan and one of the two thermal power plants, the other one being the gas-fired Dushanbe-1 power. .
Phase 2: The total cost of constructing the Dushanbe-2 power station was approximately US$349 million. Of that amount, US$331 million was financed by Tebian.
