Cost of electricity in Kyrgyzstan in 2016 decreases

Production cost of a kilowatt-hour of electricity in Kyrgyzstan in 2016 was 43.8 tyiyn, the State Committee of Industry, Energy and Subsoil Use reported to 24-kg.com news agency.

It is noted that this figure was determined excluding imports. In 2015, the cost was 45.4 tyiyn per kilowatt.

The reduction is caused by a decrease in the share of HPP electricity generation, as well as lower import costs.

Over the past year, power generation by Electric Stations JSC amounted to 12, 843.6 billion kilowatt-hours with the plan of 13, 225.91 billion. Generation declined due to favorable weather conditions and lower consumption.
