In Kyrgyzstan, work is actively underway to implement one of the significant energy projects in Central Asia — the construction of the Kambarata HPP-1. This project aims to strengthen the country's energy security and optimize the use of hydroelectric resources. The press service of the Ministry of Energy reported this.
Upon completion, the HPP will become the largest hydroelectric facility in Kyrgyzstan with an installed capacity of 1,860 MW, which will significantly increase electricity production and enhance the country's energy independence.
Currently, preparatory work is actively being conducted in the mountainous region of the Jalal-Abad region, including the construction of roads, power transmission lines, and a 110 kV substation, as well as the construction of a bridge over the Naryn River and the establishment of a temporary settlement for workers.
