As part of this strategy, a decision has been made to regulate internal and external lighting in government administrative buildings from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM.
These measures do not affect critical processes for the functioning of buildings, nor do they impact strategic facilities and institutions operating around the clock, responsible for defense, security, healthcare, and social protection of citizens.
It is expected that the implementation of these restrictions will lead to significant electricity savings — about 40 million kilowatt-hours per month.
It should be emphasized that in the first nine months of the current year, electricity consumption in Kyrgyzstan reached a record level, increasing by almost 1 billion kilowatt-hours.
This is related to the launch of new industrial facilities, social and educational institutions, as well as the active development of housing construction.
At the same time, the current growing season is characterized by low water levels in the Naryn River.
At present, the water level in the Toktogul Reservoir is 2 billion cubic meters lower than in the same period last year.
This situation requires an active and thoughtful approach to managing water and energy resources.
The key task of the Cabinet of Ministers is the rational use of water reserves in the Toktogul Reservoir and the optimization of the load on energy equipment, which is crucial for the stable operation of the entire energy system.
