ADFD backs <\/strong>Tajikistan\u2019s<\/strong> hydroplant: <\/strong>Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) signed an AED 376 mn loan agreement with Tajikistan to support construction of the Rogun hydroelectric power station, state news agency Wam<\/a> reports. The financing is being provided under the USD 2 bn Abu Dhabi Global Water Platform, launched last month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rogun station is a <\/strong>USD 6.3 bn hydroelectric project<\/a><\/strong> with a projected 3.4 GW capacity<\/strong>. <\/strong>It is slated to provide energy to 10 mn people in Tajikistan, as well as export output to both Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan \u2014 and possibly Pakistan \u2014 through the Casa-1000 link, which aims to export surplus energy from Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan over to Pakistan and Afghanistan. The facility will also provide large-scale water storage capacity.<\/p>\n

The loan comes amid deepening bilateral economic ties.<\/strong> The UAE was Tajikistan\u2019s second-largest source of foreign investment<\/a> as of mid-2025, with cumulative investments of about USD 1 bn between 2020 and 2024. Trade volume doubled y-o-y in 1H 2025<\/a>, and cooperation has spilled over to other sectors<\/a> like aviation, tech, and smart cities.<\/p>\n

The <\/strong>wider take<\/strong>: Emirati players have been expanding their energy footprint across Central Asia. <\/strong>In Turkmenistan, Adnoc\u2019s international arm XRG acquired a 38% stake in the offshore Block I gas concession last May<\/a>, while Dragon Oil invested USD 10 bn in developing oil production back in 2024<\/a>. Elsewhere, Masdar inked an agreement in Kazakhstan for a 1 GW wind farm<\/a> and a round-the-clock energy project<\/a>, added 2 GW of wind power<\/a> and 250 MW of solar power<\/a> to its Uzbekistan portfolio, and upped its Azerbaijan presence with 1 GW worth of solar and wind projects<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ADFD <\/strong>also agreed to provide AED 32 mn for a social housing project in the <\/strong>Seychelles<\/strong>, Wam<\/a> reports. The funding will be used to build 80 residential units for lower-income households, split evenly across two construction phases, and deliver supporting infrastructure and public services. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
