BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 28. A large
investment project to build the Kazarman cascade of hydropower
plants (HPPs), with the participation of Turkish investors, is
underway in Kyrgyzstan’s Toguz-Toro district, said the press
service of the President of Kyrgyzstan.
President Sadyr Japarov made the remarks on October 26 during a
meeting with residents of the district as part of his working visit
to Jalal-Abad region.
"The cascade, which includes the Ala-Buga, Kara-Bulun-1 and
Kara-Bulun-2 HPPs on the Naryn River, will have a total capacity of
912 MW. The project will strengthen the country’s energy security,
give additional impetus to the district’s economy and create new
jobs," Sadyr Japarov said.
The president reviewed the district’s socioeconomic development,
noting growth of the local budget and the implementation of
infrastructure projects.
He also spoke about the modernization of the education system
and the development of sports infrastructure. Schools in the
district are implementing the Altyn Kazyk programme, while
methodological activities and training sessions are being held for
teachers and new approaches to education are being introduced. The
construction of mini-football pitches in villages is also
continuing to give young people more opportunities to play
sports.
Sadyr Japarov also addressed social issues, stressing the need
to renovate educational and cultural infrastructure.
"As you know, I have previously met with residents of almost all
districts and cities in Jalal-Abad region. Similar issues are
raised everywhere: the construction and renovation of schools,
kindergartens and cultural centres, as well as the allocation of
land plots. Toguz-Toro district also has social facilities built
during the Soviet era that need renovation, including schools,
kindergartens, cultural centres, roads and bridges," he said.
