«We are holding active negotiations at the level of the Cabinet of Ministers in order to sell electricity to China,» the Cabinet Chairman Akylbek Japarov said at the opening of an international multi-sectoral business mission of Russian companies to Kyrgyzstan.
According to him, the agreement is planned to be signed during the state visit of President Sadyr Japarov to China. Akylbek Japarov did not say anything about the timing of the visit, noting only that this would happen «as soon as the possibility of visits appears.»
«Supplies will be at the price at which China sells electricity to its population — 6-8 cents. In addition, we received a $330 million loan for implementation of CASA-1000 project. From January 2024, we must supply at least 300 megawatts at 8 cents per kilowatt. Investors, who would like to get into the energy market, will have a sales market not only and not so much within Kyrgyzstan,» he concluded.
