The hydroelectric power station is located at the mouth of the Kara-Suu River, which flows into the Naryn, in the territory of the city of Kara-Kul in the Jalal-Abad region.
The power station is equipped with two hydro units with a total capacity of 18 MW.
The average annual electricity generation is 104 million kWh, which will reduce the electricity deficit in the country by approximately 2.5% and enhance the stability of energy supply for Kara-Kul and the Toktogul hydroelectric cascade.
