Power Plants in Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan has 34 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 69th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 7 operating and 26 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 3.9 GW across 7 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Kyzyl-Oruk solar farm (1.9 GW).

The largest owner-operators are Power Stations JSC (Elektricheskiye Stantsii) (19), City of Bishkek (3) and Altay Enerji (1) — Power Stations JSC (Elektricheskiye Stantsii) alone is named on 56% of them. Half of Kyrgyzstan's power plants in service predate 1981 (median commissioning year of the 7 with a known date) and the oldest still listed is Uch-Kurgan hydroelectric plant, dating from 1961. 26 are in the pipeline, led by Kyzyl-Oruk solar farm (1.9 GW), proposed. They account for 63% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Kyrgyzstan.
