ASTANA – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan are moving forward with a joint venture to build the Kambarata HPP-1, a massive hydropower plant on the Naryn River. With a capacity of 1,880 MW, the facility is a cornerstone of regional energy strategy. It is capable of powering roughly 1.5 million homes—an output comparable to two large nuclear reactors.
Kyrgyzstan President Sadyr Japarov highlighted the project’s “strategic importance” at the Regional Ecological Summit on April 23. He noted that final intergovernmental agreements are currently being negotiated with support from the World Bank. Furthermore, a decisive round of talks is scheduled for this month in Tashkent to finalise the construction roadmap.
The project is the flagship of Kyrgyzstan’s broader renewable energy push. Alongside the mega-dam, the country is set to launch 13 small hydropower plants this year. Moreover, it is developing a staggering 6,050 MW in solar and wind projects. This regional partnership marks a major shift toward a unified, green energy grid for Central Asia.

President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has officially inaugurated the 220/110/10 kV Yeni Sangachal substation, marking a major milestone in integrating renewable energy generation with the country's national grid and strategic oil and gas assets.
The project represents a shift in national energy strategy, moving from isolated decarbonization efforts toward a unified grid framework designed to increase system efficiency, boost natural gas export capacity, and secure long-term energy sustainability.
Kyrgyzstan's Ministry of Energy is actively backing domestic solar installations, according to Energy Minister Altynbek Rysbekov, as reported by 24.kg.
Under current policy guidelines, residential households can deploy rooftop solar panels with generating capacities up to 15 kW. Installations operating under this limit are fully exempt from licensing requirements when feed-in surplus power is transferred back into the national grid.
Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) has officially commenced construction on a landmark 1-gigawatt (GW) wind farm in Kazakhstan's southern Zhambyl region, marking the company’s inaugural renewable energy asset in the country.
The $1.4 billion development ranks as one of the largest integrated wind generation and battery storage installations in Central Asia. To mitigate the intermittency of wind generation and secure immediate grid stabilization, the installation will couple its 1 GW wind capacity with a high-capacity 600-megawatt-hour (MWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
