3. The proposed CASA-1000 transmission facilities would: maximize the use of 1,300 MW renewable summer electricity surplus from existing plants in Central Asia (Tajikistan &Kyrgyz Republic ) and provide electricity to consumers in electricity deficient South Asia (Afghanistan & Pakistan)

4. The project consists of:
Physical investment in transmission lines and related facilities linking Datka (KR) – Sangtuda (Taj) – Kabul (Af) – Peshawar (Pak)
Related project, revenue, environment and social management including land acquisition and compensation and communications
A community support program aimed at securing support for the project among communities along the route

9. The CASA-1000 project includes:
500 kV line Datka-Khudjand (477 km), with Tajik network transferring Kyrgyz exports to Sangtuda.
Tajikistan Grid Strengthening.
1300 MW AC-DC Convertor Station at Sangtuda.
750 km HVDC line Sangtuda-Kabul- Peshawar.
300 MW Convertor Station at Kabul (with both import & export capability).
1300 MW DC-AC Convertor Station at Peshawar.

10. CASA-1000 benefits all four countries:
Ensures a steady source of revenue from surplus hydropower exports for Tajikistan and Kyrgyz Republic, the weakest economies in Central Asia
Uses excess summer electricity that is currently being spilled
Alleviates electricity shortages in Pakistan during the peak summer season
Replaces fuel-based power generation in Afghanistan and Pakistan with clean hydropower
Establishes Afghanistan as a viable transit country, enhancing growth prospects
Requires no new power generation investments

11. Resources and demand in the region - electricity

13. CASA-1000 Significance
Ensures a steady source of revenue for Tajikistan and Kyrgyz Republic, the weakest economies in Central Asia
Requires no new investment in generation because it uses surplus water that would otherwise be spilled (wasted)
Alleviates electricity shortages in Pakistan during the summer when demand is at its highest
Replaces fuel based electricity generation for Afghanistan and Pakistan
Establishes Afghanistan as a viable transit country
Offers transmission capacity for other countries during the off-peak season
Creates a viable governance mechanism to build confidence among neighbors

14. The foreign policy of the Republic of Tajikistan on CASA-1000 outlined by the President of Tajikistan H.E. Mr. Imomali Rahmon
Construction of new railways, roads, gas and oil pipelines, power transmission lines are the core of creative plans, aimed at providing a peaceful and comfortable life for people of Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and other countries of the region
Trade and economic opportunities of Pakistan, its geo-strategic position and influence in South Asia and in the Islamic world are of great importance for Tajikistan. Therefore, we will continue to focus our efforts on strengthening relations with Pakistan and in our joint struggle against modern threats, especially terrorism, extremism and drug trafficking, we will purposefully boost our cooperation.
This cooperation is of particular importance in the framework of trilateral relations with Afghanistan, because it is aimed not only at addressing the problems of Afghanistan, but also demonstrates the new creative sample of relationships in the region. In the framework of this cooperation the early implementation of projects such as “CASA-1000”power transmission line project will, in fact, further strengthen the foundation of our relations.

15. CASA-1000 was discussed by the the President of Tajikistan, H. E. Mr
CASA-1000 was discussed by the the President of Tajikistan, H.E. Mr. Emomali Rahmon and The Speaker National Assembly, H.E.Mr. Sardar Ayaz Sadiq
May 26, 2014; The Speaker National Assembly, H.E.Mr. Sardar Ayaz Sadiq called on the President of Tajikistan, H.E. Mr. Emomali Rahmon in Dushanbe. 
The issue of power shortage in Pakistan was also discussed. The President of Tajikistan said that his country has surplus electricity; therefore it will export electricity to Pakistan to overcome its energy requirements. He said that CASA-1000 was a landmark project which will provide 1000 MW of electricity to Pakistan to mitigate its acute energy deficit.

16. The joint position of Tajikistan and Pakistan regarding CASA-1000
«The two leaders reaffirmed their commitment to CASA-1000 project and underlined the importance of its earliest realization»
(point 8 Tajikistan-Pakistan Joint Statement On Enhanced Partnership – sighed 17th June, 2014 in Dushanbe during official visit of H.E. Mr. Muhammad Nawaz Sharif to Tajikistan)

17. Next steps of Tajikistan and Pakistan in the field of energy
21th July 2014 the President of Tajikistan H.E. Mr. Emomali Rahmon received the Federal Minister for Water and Energy of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, H.E.Mr. Khwaja Asif Mohammad.
The sides addressed the issues of wide-ranging cooperation between Tajikistan and Pakistan, first of all in the energy field.
Main attention was paid to the ways of fruitful implementation of regional project CASA-1000, envisaging for power transmission from Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
As it was informed, Tajikistan and Pakistan have established joint commission for development of energy cooperation and are currently taking efforts to prepare important documents for signing.

18. Is there any additional capacity to export electricity from Tajikistan to Pakistan?
In Tajikistan today single available industrial mastering by power resource is a water-power of rivers. But spares a last, practically, unlimited- more 500 bill кWt. hour per annum, from which is today mastered only, order, 16 bill кWt. hour Herewith there is enormous amount of rivers in republic, from large before most small so theoretically possible provide firm, without deficit power supply it, as construction only one or several large stations with transmission of their energy in all regions, so and erection hundred small HPP change in direct vicinity to consumers.
It is well know, that after bringing into operation the Rogun HPP in the republic will completely solve the problem concerning electricity insufficiency, and electricity surplus will increase by 10 milliards kW/h.
For the transmission of this energy to the neighboring countries, such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, China , Iran and Central Asia it is necessary to construct the new lines electric transmissions.
