06/12/2026, 09:00A ceremony was held in Bishkek to lay the foundation stone for the second phase of the eco-technological plant for the processing of solid municipal waste to generate electricity.
The event was attended by the Prime Minister, Adylbek Kasymaliev; the Mayor of Bishkek, Aibek Junushaliev; the Chinese Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Kyrgyzstan, Liu Jiangping; the Director of Junxin Huanbao KG Invest, Dai Daoge; and other officials.
The second phase of the project involves the construction of an additional plant unit with a capacity of up to 2,000 tonnes of waste per day, as well as a 60 MW power complex.
The key outcome of the project is that, once the facility is operational, annual electricity generation will reach approximately 307 million kWh. This volume is sufficient to supply electricity to around 100,000 homes.
As noted by the municipality, the project will not only generate electricity from waste but also significantly reduce the burden on the city’s landfill site. The plant will utilise modern waste-to-energy technologies and a multi-stage emissions treatment system that complies with international environmental standards.
Upon completion of the second phase, the plant will be able to process up to 3,000 tonnes of solid municipal waste per day and generate up to 90 MW of electricity.
The city council emphasised that the implementation of the project will be an important step towards developing the capital’s environmental infrastructure, strengthening the city’s energy security and creating new jobs.
Currently, as part of the first phase of operations at the eco-technological plant in Bishkek, more than 1,500 tonnes of waste are already being processed daily.
