BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 8. Singapore's Sunvera
Solar is considering a project to establish a photovoltaic cell
manufacturing facility with 2 GW capacity in Kyrgyzstan.


This was reflected in a press release published by Kyrgyzstan's
Ministry of Economy and Commerce following a meeting between Deputy
Economy and Commerce Minister Benazir Nurlanova and representatives
of Singapore-based Sunvera Solar Pte. Ltd.


"The parties discussed prospects for implementing a project to
establish a modern production facility for high-efficiency
photovoltaic (solar) cells with a design capacity of up to 2 GW in
the Kyrgyz Republic," the ministry said.


According to the ministry, representatives of the Energy
Ministry and the National Investment Agency under the President of
Kyrgyzstan also attended the meeting.


The sides exchanged views on renewable energy development,
localization of high-tech manufacturing, job creation, and
attracting foreign direct investment, the press release says.







They also agreed to continue assessing the project's
implementation conditions and organize visits to potential
production sites, the ministry noted.


Meanwhile, Kyrgyzstan has accelerated the development of solar
energy to reduce its growing electricity deficit and diversify its
power system dominated by hydropower. In June 2026, the country
commissioned the first 175 MW phase of the 1.9 GW ROX Issyk-Kul
solar power project, currently the largest operating solar facility
in the country. Total investment in the project is expected to
reach about $1.4 billion by 2028.


Several other utility-scale solar projects are also underway.
Construction is progressing on a 600 MW solar plant in the Batken
Region, while 300 MW and 250 MW projects backed by Hungarian and
Chinese investors are in development. Together, the projects are
expected to significantly increase the share of renewable energy in
Kyrgyzstan's power mix and help address rising domestic electricity
demand.


Against this backdrop, the proposed 2 GW photovoltaic cell
manufacturing facility would mark a shift from attracting renewable
generation projects to developing domestic manufacturing capacity
for the solar industry. If implemented, it would become one of the
largest industrial investments in Kyrgyzstan's clean energy
sector.
