Three HPPs are expected for construction on the Pskem River - Pskem HPP, Mullalak HPP, and Upper-Pskem HPP. The agreements on supply of equipment for the project were concluded with General Electric. In December 2018, there was an agreement signed with RusHydro on joint development of a feasibility study and FEED for the construction of the Mullalak and Upper-Pskem HPPs.
Construction of two HPPs on the Zarafshon River
Capacity: Total capacity is 320 MW
Investment: Over $550 million
Operator: Tad-Uz Gidro
The project on construction of facilities will be realised in two stages. The first one will build the 140 MW Yeowon HPP, which will generate 800 million kWh of power. The projected cost is $282 million. The second stage is expected to include the construction of the Fandaryo hydropower plant with a capacity of 135 MW and a cost of about $270 million, capable of generating 600 million kWh.
Under the memorandum, Uzbekhydroenergo JSC and China Southern Power Grid International (HK) Co., Ltd. plan to set up a working group to develop feasibility studies for the projects. The parties plan to attract international experts. The commissioning of the HPP will generate an average of 3 billion kWh of electric power per year and save 835.65 million cubic metres of natural gas.
Construction of the Rogun HPP
Capacity: 3600 MW
Timeframe: 2033
Investment: Over $5 billion
Operator: Barqi-Tojik
The project implies construction of a hydropower plant on the river Vakhsh. The HPP is part of the Vakhsh Cascade, its upper step. The dam with a height of 335 meters will become the highest in the world.
HPP Cascade on the Ugam River
Capacity: 165,6 MW
Timeframe: 2024 -2026
Investment: $1.3 billion
Operator: Samruk-Kazyna
The project is aimed at the construction of a cascade of 10 hydropower plants. At the first stage, a group water pipeline from the Ugam gorge to Zhanabazar settlement is being designed with the construction of a cascade of HPPs. Seven of them are supposed to be built directly along the Ugam riverbed, and another three - along the group water pipeline.
Construction of the Kambarata HPP-1
Timeframe: Completion of construction is scheduled in 2030-2032. Commissioning is in 2028.
Investment: Over $2.5 billion
Operator: Electric Power Plants
The HPP must include 4 hydropower units. The volume of the reservoir is 6 billion cubic metres. It was planned that the realisation of the project would allow Kyrgyzstan to stop importing power.
