China’s Shenzhen Energy Group will build two 300-megawatt power stations—one solar and one wind—in Kyrgyzstan, according to Economist.kg, citing the country’s National Investment Agency.
The agreements between the Kyrgyz government and the Chinese company were signed on July 4. Construction is scheduled to begin in September, with both facilities expected to be operational by 2026. The total investment amount has not been disclosed.
The project is part of a national strategy to develop green energy and enhance Kyrgyzstan’s energy security, the agency stated, noting that the new stations will contribute to the transition to clean energy sources and the modernization of the country’s infrastructure.
The initiative stems from agreements reached during Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov’s official visit to China in February 2025. Officials also emphasized that the project will create new jobs and deepen cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and China in sustainable development.
In early June, construction began on the foundation for Kyrgyzstan’s first-ever wind power plant, located in the Issyk-Kul region. Built by the company Metrum TEK, the wind farm is situated in the Karakol Free Economic Zone near the town of Balykchy. The first 1-megawatt wind turbine is expected to be launched in August.
