BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, September 13. A capsule
was laid for the construction of a wind power plant in the
Issyk-Kul region's Ton district, Trend reports via the Cabinet of Ministers of
Kyrgyzstan.
The ceremony featured the Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers
Akylbek Japarov, and the Deputy Chairman of the government of
Russia Alexey Overchuk.
The investment project is in full swing, spearheaded by Rosatom
Renewable energy JSC. It involves putting up a 100 MW wind power
plant, which is expected to churn out a whopping 290 million kWh
annually, all wrapped up in a tidy 12-month construction
period.
"Despite being one of the regions with the greatest potential
for renewable energy sources, Kyrgyzstan has yet to implement wind,
solar, and biogas energy technology. We have more than 300 sunny
days each year. We are now seeing the commencement of the
construction of a 100 MW wind power plant in Kok-Moinok hamlet on
the shore of Lake Issyk-kul," said Japarov.
The head of the Cabinet of Ministers reminded that a capsule had
earlier been laid for the construction of a 300 MW solar power
plant in the Issyk-Kul district's Toru-Aygyr village, which will be
built by the Kyrgyz Bishkek Solar and the Russian Unigreen Energy
companies.
"In the field of power supply, the construction of the Kulanak
and the Orto-Tokoy hydropower plants began over the past two years,
and the construction of the Bala-Saruu hydropower plant and dozens
of other small hydropower plants was completed.
The At-Bashi hydropower plant was modernized, and today the
reconstruction of the Toktogul and Uch-Kurgan hydropower plants is
underway. On the international level, the construction of power
lines under the CASA-1000 project has begun," he added.
