With the cooling weather sweeping across the country, active measures for winter preparation have begun. The main focus is on heating supply, the availability of coal for the population, and preparing transport for winter conditions. The "Kabar" agency has presented an overview of the key aspects of winter preparation.
The state enterprise "Kyrgyzkomur" is taking measures to ensure stable coal supply to the population at fixed prices. As of November 3, a temporary restriction has been imposed on access for private drivers and companies to the Kara-Keche coal mine.
This measure aims to replenish stocks, stabilize market prices, and provide coal at social tariffs for low-income citizens.
The enterprise calls on private carriers to enter into partnership agreements with local coal sales bases.
Currently, daily coal production at Kara-Keche is 7,000 to 10,000 tons, which supplies fuel to the Bishkek CHPP and social facilities across the country.
For the winter season of 2025-2026, 118 coal sales points and fuel bases have been organized across the regions.
