Tajikistan plans to increase electricity exports to Afghanistan in 2020. Mirzo Ismoilzoda, Chairman of the state energy holding "Barki Tojik", said at a meeting with journalists in Dushanbe on Tuesday that an agreement has been reached with the Afghan energy company "Breshno" on the supply of electricity for the current year.
