"In 2025, we completed the construction of several substations, reconstructed the hydro units of major hydropower plants, and also put into operation small hydropower plants and solar stations. Considering the construction of residential complexes and factories, increasing energy generation is an important task. Each new substation ensures reliable electricity supply for the population," he added.

The new substation will provide reliable electricity supply for 2,224 residential houses, the village of Zhany-Dostuk, the industrial zone, the residential complex 'Batken City', the new stadium for 10,000 spectators, the 'Chet-Bulak' quarter, the village of Buzhum, and the under-construction Russian school.
Additionally, the 'Suu-Bashi' substation will provide power for four other substations: 'Kara-Bulak', 'Kara-Tokoy-1', 'Kara-Tokoy-2', and 'Shirech'.
The facility was connected to a new 110-kilovolt power transmission line 'Aigul-Tash — Central'.
