Energy Day is celebrated on the shortest day of the year, when the load on the energy system is at its highest. This date was established in 1966 by the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and is associated with the adoption of the electrification plan at the VIII All-Russian Congress of Soviets in 1920.
The construction of the Toktogul Hydroelectric Power Station began in 1962, and the first and second units were put into operation in 1975.
