BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, November 5. The
construction of energy infrastructure facilities for the CASA-1000
(Central Asia-South Asia power) project has been completed in
Kyrgyzstan, Trend
reports via the National Electric Network of Kyrgyzstan (NENK)
OJSC.
"Kyrgyzstan has completed the construction of energy
infrastructure facilities as part of the international CASA-1000
project, which aims to create the largest trans-regional power
transmission line connecting Central and South Asia. The project
involves four countries: Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and
Pakistan," the company said.
As part of the CASA-1000 project, the NENK General Director
Altynbek Rysbekov announced the completion of the substation bay
construction at the Datka substation in Kyrgyzstan. Additionally,
1,243 pylons have been installed, and the suspension of cables
along a 456.06 km stretch has been completed.
"This project aims to export electricity from Kyrgyzstan and
Tajikistan to Afghanistan and Pakistan. It not only promotes energy
integration between Central and South Asia but also opens new
economic opportunities for our country," he said.
The CASA-1000 project envisages electricity export during the
summer months when Kyrgyzstan experiences an excess of electricity
production. This will allow for optimal use of available resources
and stabilize the domestic market.
Additionally, the CASA-1000 Local Community Support Subproject
(LCSS) has built social facilities, upgraded networks, and
installed new pylons in settlements along power transmission
lines.
To note, on April 3, 2021, the President of Kyrgyzstan, Sadyr
Japarov, laid the foundation stone for the construction of the
first high-voltage power line pylon in the village of Kara-Bulak in
the Batken region, marking the starting point for the project.
The International Finance Corporation (IFC) supported an
international tender that selected the Turkish MITAS company as the
contracting organization.
