Agreement with Gazprom. This week, the State Committee for Industry, Energy and Subsoil Use of the Kyrgyz Republic signed an Agreement between Gazprom Kyrgyzstan LLC and Kyrgyzteploenergo State Enterprise on the supply of natural gas to the Kyrgyzteploenergo State Enterprise branches, and at the same time a very significant problem was resolved.
There were previously problems with the supply of heat generated by the gas boiler houses of the branch of the State Enterprise "Kyrgyzteploenergo" since the gas boiler houses could not start work due to the refusal of the gas supplying organization to supply gas due to the existing significant debt of the Kyrgyzteploenergo to the Gazprom Kyrgyzstan LLC, according to the State Committee for Industry, Energy and Subsoil Use.
It should be noted that a significant amount of heat generation by heat supply branches is carried out using natural gas, where there are 20 boiler houses, which generate 35% of the total heat generation.
