Bishkek, Dec. 19, 2020 / Kabar /. Acting President of Kyrgyzstan, Speaker of the Jogorku Kenesh Talant Mamytov, as part of his working trip to Jalal-Abad Oblast, got acquainted with the project to commission the second unit of the Kambar-Ata HPP-2, the Kyrgyz president’s press service said.
The acting heads of state was informed that the main source of electricity in Kyrgyzstan is the Naryn River, where the following hydroelectric power plants (HPP) are located - Toktogul, Kurpsai, Tash-Kumyr, Shamaldy-Sai, Uch-Korgon and Kambar-Ata-2.
The total design capacity of the Kambar-Ata HPP-2 is 360 MW (three blocks of 120 MW each). Currently, the first 120 MW unit is operating here, which was officially commissioned on Aug. 30, 2010.
As a result of the search for investments to launch the second hydroelectric unit, an agreement was reached with the Eurasian Development Bank to attract soft loans from the Eurasian Fund for Stabilization and Development.
The project "Commissioning of the second hydroelectric unit of the Kambar-Ata HPP-2" provides for the commissioning of the second hydroelectric unit of the station with a capacity of 120 MW, as well as the construction of an open switchgear of 500 kV.
Acting president inspected the dam and the machine shop, and also got acquainted with information about the activities and progress of construction work at Kambar-Ata-2.
The acting head of state noted the need for the earliest possible commissioning of the remaining units in connection with the growth of electricity consumption in the republic.
“The needs of business and the population for electricity are steadily increasing every year, at the same time we use only one tenth of the available energy resources. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the capacity of the hydroelectric power station and generate more energy,” Mamytov said.
The acting president assured that the state will provide all possible assistance in the implementation of this major project.
