As of February 2, 2022, the water level in Toktogul water reservoir reached 8,995.04 billion cubic meters. Electric Stations JSC reported.
Over the past three months, the figure decreased by 2,925.46 billion cubic meters, and compared to February 2021 — by 1,670.06 billion cubic meters. Last year, the Toktogul reservoir had 10.6 billion cubic meters of water on that day.
To date, the water flow in the reservoir is 503 cubic meters per second and the inflow is 152 cubic meters per second.
Kyrgyzstan faced an energy crisis this year because of the low-water period. Power industry specialists fear that only 6-7 billion cubic meters of water may remain in the reservoir after the heating season. This could lead to the shutdown of the Toktogul hydroelectric power plant.
