Construction of seven renewable energy facilities begins in Kyrgyzstan
The most ambitious initiative is a solar power station
The construction of seven renewable energy facilities, comprising two wind farms and five solar power stations, has begun in the Issyk-Kul region of Kyrgyzstan, emerging as a central hub for green energy development in the country. This is reported by Eurasia Today, a partner of TV BRICS.
These projects align with the country’s strategic shift towards environmentally friendly energy sources and are also aimed at drawing investment into the area. The most ambitious initiative is a solar power station in the village of Toru-Aygyr. Spanning 407 hectares, the station will have a capacity of 300 megawatts (MW).
Simultaneously, a wind farm is being developed in the town of Balykchy. Covering an area of 9.8 hectares, it will have 100 wind turbines with a combined capacity of 200 MW. The initial phase of this project is estimated at US$250,000.
By the end of the year, a total of 18 small hydropower plants are scheduled for commissioning across the country. According to Deputy Minister of Energy Nurlan Sadykov, small-scale hydropower projects contribute to local energy independence, conserve water resources, and relieve pressure on major facilities.

Ashok MondalNID Director"Signing this Memorandum of Understanding between the National Institute of Design (NID) and TV BRICS marks a pivotal milestone in advancing design diplomacy across the BRICS media space. This moment is especially significant as India hosts the 18th BRICS Summit, following India’s assumption of the BRICS chairship under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The partnership directly embodies his call to elevate Indian design standards through 'Design in India, Design for the World'. Through the global reach and broadcast capabilities of TV BRICS, we are excited to showcase the extraordinary visual storytelling, films, and design research of NID’s Film and Video Communication students to an international audience, while also welcoming and screening film works from BRICS network countries at NID Ahmedabad. This reciprocal exchange strengthens our shared commitment to educational, cultural, and artistic collaboration, fostering sustainable connections among global creative communities. NID Ahmedabad looks forward to leveraging this partnership to deepen cross-cultural dialogue, build international expert networks, and unlock transformative opportunities for filmmakers, researchers, and faculty across member nations" -
