President Sadyr Zhaparov addressed the countries and financial institutions, to which Kyrgyzstan is indebted, with a proposal to take part in the construction of energy facilities and hydroelectric power stations in the country. He wrote about this on his page in the social network.
Kyrgyzstan, Zhaparov noted, is a country rich in water resources. But at the moment only about 10% of the available hydropower potential is being used. In order to use them more effectively, small and medium-sized hydroelectric power stations are being actively built throughout the country, and the largest construction project, the Kambar-Ata Hydroelectric Power Station-1, the future flagship of the country's energy sector, has been launched. With the implementation of these projects, Kyrgyzstan can truly be called an energy independent country that will export electricity to foreign countries.
“Now we have taken a firm course towards the development of a green economy, the whole modern world pays special attention to this,” said S. Zhaparov. USD 4.2 billion Of course, we are fully fulfilling and will continue to fulfill all our obligations to pay off our external debt, we have every opportunity for this.
We are only raising the initiative to develop a green economy and jointly contribute to improving the environmental situation in the world. It would be good if the funds provided for the repayment of external debt were directed to support green initiatives ...
Countries and financial institutions, to which Kyrgyzstan is a debtor, could take part in the construction of energy facilities and hydroelectric power stations in the country. Together we will cut the ribbons of these green economy facilities. Together we implement green projects in Kyrgyzstan, in exchange we are written off external debts"
