Maintenance work carried out on power grid infrastructure has made it possible to preserve around 560 MVA of Kyrgyzstan’s power system capacity. This was announced by Ilgiz Sadygaliev, Chairman of the Board of OJSC ‘National Electricity Grid of Kyrgyzstan’, at a meeting of the Ministry of Energy.

In addition, major repairs were carried out on 1,512 pieces of equipment at 0.4–10 kV substations and on 1,068 km of power lines.

According to Sadygaliev, preparations for the winter period also include the replacement of 48 power transformers, of which one is rated at 220 kV, 20 at 110 kV and 27 at 35 kV.

“As a result of the measures carried out, it is planned to add a further 560 MVA of capacity to the power system in 2026,” said the head of NESK.
