If Kyrgyzstan builds a nuclear power plant, then its capacity should be at least 300 megawatts. The Deputy Minister of Energy Sabyrbek Sultanbekov announced at a round table discussion.
According to him, Kyrgyzstan has concluded an agreement with Rosatom. The subject of the agreement is the study of the possibility of building a nuclear power plant in the republic. Initially, it was about two stations with a capacity of 50 megawatts each.
«But now we think that such power does not solve anything. It must be increased. If we build a nuclear power plant, then its capacity should be at least 300 megawatts. This is the upper threshold for small nuclear power plants. We could build one after discussion with the people,» Sabyrbek Sultanbekov said.
