In Tajikistan, people have been suffering from an energy crisis and they sure are having a hard time coping. Electricity is difficult to come by and now they have to work within three hours of electricity per day so plenty of businesses have closed down because of this. And during the winter, people have tried to make do with burning old logs to keep them warm.
But sure enough, people can be creative and resourceful. Some villages in the country have found ways so as to get their energy needs. Some people have already built their own mini-hydroelectric stations and people who have tried out such inventions have said that the electricity produced from it can be enough for the entire village.
Some people have been able to create a mini-hydroelectric station and Ustokadam Saodatkadamov is one of those. He has been able to build one using used car parts he found. It is not currently used to power 30 homes in his area.
