Bishkek, Jan. 20, 2026. /Kabar/. Kyrgyzstan generates 14.5 billion kWh annually, including all small hydroelectric power plants and combined heat and power plants. Deputy Energy Minister Altynbek Rysbekov announced this today at meeting of the Zhogorku Kenesh Committee on industrial policy, transport, fuel and energy, architecture, and construction.
According to him, current electricity demand is approximately 20 billion kWh, leaving a deficit of approximately 4.3 billion kWh.
"We are providing the energy shortfall through imports. In 2025, electricity imports were made from Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Russia. Furthermore, demand is growing every year; currently, growth is 7%, while even in Russia, this figure is only 1.5%-3%," the deputy minister noted.
