Kyrgyzstan — Energy Infrastructure
OverWatts maps 54 energy assets in Kyrgyzstan across 6 layers — the 86th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 34 power plants, 8 cement plants and 7 coal / uranium mines. Operating generation capacity is 3.9 GW, led by hydro at 79%.
The companies named on the most assets are Power Stations JSC (Elektricheskiye Stantsii) (19), Kyrgyz Komur State Enterprise (5) and City of Bishkek (3), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Kyrgyzstan's mapped assets in service predate 1985 (median commissioning year of the 17 with a known date), 3 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Zhergalan Coal Mine, dating from 1959. 34 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Kyzyl-Oruk solar farm (1.9 GW).
Operating generation capacity by fuel
Utility-scale sites of 100 MW and above. Distributed generation — rooftop solar especially — is outside the tracker, so this runs below national installed capacity.
