Project Description

The project aims to improve the transmission and distribution network in the Talas region. It will support private involvement in power distribution in the country as part of power sector restructuring and will finance power losses, reducing investments of the state-owned power utility of Kyrgyzstan.

The project objectives are to: a) support the Government's on-going programme of sector restructuring and efforts to promote privatisation of power distribution to improve collection and reduce commercial losses; and b) improve the efficiency of electric power transmission and increase reliability of supply to the Talas region.

Transition Impact

The proposed loan will support progress towards private management of power distribution for the first time in the Central Asian region. It will also enable the country to provide the most economic source of electricity to the Talas region, which has good potential for economic development.

The Client
