Kyrgyzstan remains dependent on the imported electricity, stated the government

Almaty. February 4. Silkroadnews - In the coming years, Kyrgyzstan will retain its dependence on imported electricity, reports KyrTAG.
"The need for electricity imports can be maintained up to commissioning of new facilities. In 2016 starts the launch of the first unit of the Upper Naryn cascade and large projects require more time to implement",- said the State Secretary of the Ministry of Energy and Industry Batyrkul Baetov at a press conference on Wednesday.
According to him, at present, the level of precipitation in the basin of the Naryn River is higher than last year, so the conductivity is expected to be high.
"But we still don't know wether it will be enough to block the water shortage. Today the water in the Toktogul reservoir is 3.5 billion cubic meters less than a year ago", - he added.
