"The energy sector of Kyrgyzstan is constantly developing, the technical base is being strengthened, and hydropower capacities are being updated. We are modernizing hydropower plants, replacing outdated units, which allows us to extend their service life. All of this is the result of your labor. In recent years, we have acquired hundreds of units of specialized and service vehicles. I am confident that positive changes in the energy sector will continue. Today we have also handed over new equipment to you, and I hope it will benefit the people and the state," noted Kasymaliev.
