According to the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the unified energy system of Central Asia began to form in the early 1960s on the territory of four states — Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and the adjacent five regions of southern Kazakhstan.
At one time, Tajikistan was disconnected from parallel operation in the system due to repeated violations of its terms.
