Kyrgyzstan is moving closer to a major renewable energy breakthrough as construction advances on one of the country’s largest solar power projects.
During a working visit to the Issyk-Kul Region, Prime Minister Adylbek Kasymaliev reviewed progress on the solar power plant being built in the village of Kyzyl-Oruk in Issyk-Kul district, The Caspian Post reports via Kyrgyz media.
Construction of the Issyk-Kul-1 Solar Power Plant began in September 2025. The project is designed to reach a total installed capacity of 1,900 megawatts, with overall investment estimated at $1.4 billion.
Once fully operational, the facility is expected to generate about 3.6 billion kilowatt-hours of environmentally friendly electricity annually, significantly strengthening Kyrgyzstan’s energy security and green transition.
The project is being implemented in stages: the first phase will deliver 150 MW, followed by a second phase of 450 MW, and a final phase of 1,300 MW. Full completion of the Issyk-Kul-1 solar complex is scheduled for 2028.
