Access to power is a critical step on the path out of poverty.

When a household has electricity, it has an impact on education, healthcare, and economic opportunity. Families prosper and grow self-reliant, creating a stable foundation out of poverty. Reliable power is a cornerstone of quality of life.

The Aga Khan Development Network and our partners have been dedicated to rehabilitation and expansion of Pamir Energy since 2002. This public-private partnership is award winning. The energy company not only provides reliable service to eastern Tajikistan, but also expanded to communities in Afghanistan which have never had electricity before.

Building a Reliable Network for Growth

Pamir Energy’s parent entity, the Aga Khan Development Network, plans to reach thousands more customers in Afghanistan in the coming years and, through partnerships, will expand its network to Chitral in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in the medium to long term. Cross-border integration supports the growth of the entire region. By expanding Pamir Energy, we will reach even more remote mountainous communities with affordable, reliable, and sustainable electricity, laying the groundwork for a better future for the entire region.
