BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 19. Kyrgyzstan continues
planned repair works at hydropower facilities to ensure reliable
and uninterrupted operation of the national energy system.
This was stated in a press release from the Ministry of Energy
of Kyrgyzstan.
"Conducting scheduled repairs allows ensuring reliable and
uninterrupted operation of hydropower plants, increasing the
operational reliability of equipment, and properly preparing energy
facilities for the autumn-winter period," the ministry said.
The repair campaign is being implemented by OJSC Chakan HPP and
includes both major and medium repairs of hydropower units.
Meanwhile, the ongoing repair campaign at Kyrgyzstan’s
hydropower facilities demonstrates the country’s focus on
strengthening the reliability of its existing energy infrastructure
and ensuring stable electricity generation during the autumn-winter
period.
Regular major and medium repairs of hydropower units help
improve equipment performance, extend the service life of key
assets, and reduce the risk of unexpected shutdowns during periods
of high energy consumption.
The construction of the Kambarata-1 hydropower plant on the
Naryn River is expected to significantly enhance the energy
security of the entire Central Asian region, Chairman of the Board
of the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) Nikolay Podguzov said in an
exclusive interview with Trend.
Podguzov noted that the project represents a strong example of
growing regional cooperation in the water-energy sector. He pointed
out that Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan have agreed to
establish a joint-stock company for the construction of the plant,
with ownership shares of 34%, 33%, and 33% respectively.
