Rosatom Renewables Signs Wind Farm Investment Deal With Kyrgyzstan

Russia’s Rosatom Renewable Energy division, formerly known as NovaWind, has signed an investment agreement with Kyrgyzstan to build a 100 MW wind farm in the Issyk-Kul region, the company has said in a press release. Design and survey work and equipment contracting is scheduled to begin in 2025.

Rosatom said that this is the first Russian wind energy project, stating that the Issyk-Kul wind farm is a pilot project. “There are plans at the second stage to develop sites for wind farm projects with overall capacity of up to 900 MW,” the company has said.

Rosatom also planned a pre-feasibility study for small nuclear power plants in Kyrgyzstan. It has also been reported that there are plans to build mini-hydropower plants in Kyrgyzstan.
