A Rosatom entity has signed an agreement with Kyrgyzstan for the construction of a 100 MW wind power plant (WPP) in the picturesque Issyk-Kul region. The state corporation announced this, noting that the agreement marks an important step in the development of Russian wind power generation abroad.
Project work and equipment procurement are scheduled for 2025, which will allow the implementation of this ambitious plan to begin. It is emphasized that this is Russia's first export project in the field of wind energy.
In addition, Rosatom is considering the possibility of building wind farms in Kyrgyzstan with a total capacity of up to 1 GW. Previously, the company signed an agreement with the country's Ministry of Energy to develop and implement projects in the field of renewable energy sources.
The project in the Issyk-Kul region will be a pilot project, and the second phase involves studying sites for the placement of renewable energy facilities with a total capacity of up to 900 MW. Rosatom also intends to develop a pre-feasibility study for a small nuclear power plant and consider the construction of mini-hydroelectric power plants in the republic.
