Kyrgyzstan’s Electricity Imports From Russia Jump in January 2025

Electricity transit from Russia to Kyrgyzstan via Kazakhstan has increased 2.4 times, according to the CIS Electric Power Council.

In January 2025, the Electric Stations company imported 34.7 million kilowatt-hours from the Russian Inter RAO, The Caspian Post reports, citing Kyrgyz media.

It is noted that this volume is 20.3 million kilowatt-hours more than for the same period last year.

A volume of 35 million kilowatt-hours is enough to supply the entire Kyrgyzstan for about half a day in winter.

The primary factor determining the volume of imports is the capacity of Kazakhstan’s electrical networks, the statement says.
