Two solar stations with a total capacity of 350MW will be built in Kyrgyzstan by the end of 2022, says the head of the National Energy Holding of the Kyrgyz Republic Taalaibek Baigaziev according to 24.kg agency's report.
Baigaziev pointed out that two agreements have already been signed, which allow receiving electricity from new photovoltaic stations. Work is underway to select sites for the construction of facilities, as well as their design.
As Baigaziev highlights: “Two solar stations will be built. The first one will be built in the village of Toru-Aigyr. It will have a capacity of 300MW. The second Kyrgyz side will build together with Kazakh partners in Issyk-Kul. Its capacity will be 50MW.
The facilities will reportedly be connected to the "Issyk-Kulskaya" and "Kemin" substations on the northern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul.
An electricity supply agreement and an investment agreement were signed between the two energy companies and the "National Electric Grid of Kyrgyzstan" in March 2023. The total investment in the project is valued at $300mn.
