BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 23. One of the largest
investment projects in Kochkor district of Kyrgyzstan’s Naryn
region is the construction of a solar power plant in the village of
Ortok.


This was reported by the press service of the President of
Kyrgyzstan.


This information was announced during President of the Kyrgyz
Republic Sadyr Japarov’s working visit to Naryn region on June 23,
where he reviewed the socio-economic development progress of
Kochkor district.


"The construction of a solar power plant in the village of Ortok
is one of the largest investment projects in the district. The
project is being implemented by LLC ‘AST Imperial Stroy’ on a
455-hectare site. The total investment amounts to $250 million, and

During the visit, the head of state was presented with a report
prepared by Kochkor district governor Bayaly Dosaliev. Local
residents and community activists also took part in the event.







The presentation outlined the results of development programmes

priority projects aimed at further socio-economic development of
the territory and improving living standards.

solar energy capacity in rural regions. The choice of Kochkor
district reflects a broader strategy of diversifying regional
development beyond traditional infrastructure, integrating energy
generation projects into rural economic planning. Such initiatives
can contribute to energy security, reduce reliance on conventional
sources, and support Kyrgyzstan’s transition toward cleaner energy
systems.

developing tourism infrastructure and supporting regional economic
growth, Minister of Construction, Architecture, Housing and
