(MENAFN- AzerNews) President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov has invited foreign
companies to participate in the construction of small and
medium-sized hydroelectric power plants in Kyrgyzstan, Azernews
reports, citing Trend reports.
Japarov invited foreign companies to consider their
participation in the construction of small and medium-sized
hydroelectric power plants and renewable energy sources in
Kyrgyzstan following the Central Asia - China Summit in Xi'an, in
which he participated as part of his state visit to China.
"Almost all the energy generated in Kyrgyzstan is green, since
it produced from hydropower. So far, only about 13 percent of our
electrical potential is used. For the development of this sector,
our country needs foreign investment, and we are ready for the
closest cooperation in this area," Kyrgyz president said.
According to him, Kyrgyzstan has a capacity to export
electricity to countries with a total population of over 2 billion
people. He added that the country supports the idea of creating
partnerships between Central Asia and China on energy
development.
At the same time, statistical data shows that Kyrgyzstan
generated 4.6 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity from
January through March 2023, which is 13 percent more than 4.1
billion kWh in the same period of 2022.
The China - Central Asia summit, with the participation of the
presidents of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and
Uzbekistan, took place in China on May 18-19.
