This year, taking into account the structure and growth of consumption, Kyrgyzstan plans to import 3.5 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. Deputy Minister of Energy Taalaibek Baigaziev said at the XIII ATOMEXPO Forum.
According to him, last year the republic purchased 3.4 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity from Turkmenistan, Russia and Kazakhstan.
«But this puts a strain on the networks of neighboring Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. There are problems in winter, the regime is not fully regulated,» the official said.
