Kyrgyzstan’s Energy Ministry and China Southern Power Grid International have signed a memorandum to explore joint electricity projects and investment cooperation. This was announced in a report published by the press service of Kyrgyzstan’s Energy Ministry, following a meeting between Minister Altynbek Rysbekov and Zhang Heng, President of China Southern Power Grid International (HK) Co., Ltd. According to the report, the sides discussed cooperation in the electricity sector, including modernization of energy infrastructure, development of power grids, digital technologies and energy storage systems.
The memorandum provides for the establishment of a Joint Working Group to coordinate cooperation and identify projects for further technical and investment assessment. The cooperation will focus on developing Kyrgyzstan’s energy infrastructure and implementing joint projects in the electricity sector, according to the ministry. Meanwhile, Kyrgyzstan is expanding its electricity infrastructure as power demand grows alongside economic activity and industrial development.
The country is therefore placing greater emphasis on increasing generation capacity, modernizing power networks and introducing digital technologies and energy storage solutions. Hydropower remains the backbone of the electricity system in Kyrgyzstan, while the government is also seeking to diversify generation through new renewable energy projects and attract investment and technology from international partners. This approach creates demand for cooperation with major energy companies and supports Bishkek’s efforts to develop a more modern and flexible electricity system.
