"Perhaps from the April 2015 we will start importing electricity from Tajikistan to keep the water at Toktogul. Terms constitute from April to September.

He noted that this forecast is made based on the capabilities of the Tajik energy system.
According to Borodin, HPP in Bishkek preserved winter production of electricity in order to save resources of Toktogul reservoir.
"If there will be a low inflow of water, we will work out other options for electricity. For example, imports from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan", - said the deputy head of "NESK".
