Soviet-era Rogun Dam nears completion, set to become world's tallest at 335m

Tajikistan's Rogun Dam, initiated by the USSR in 1976, is nearing completion and will reach 335 meters, surpassing China's Jinping Dam as the world's tallest. The project is central to Tajikistan's energy independence and regional water politics, though construction has faced delays and funding challenges. Its completion would mark a significant shift in Central Asian hydropower dynamics.
