Despite the price adjustment starting May 1, residents of Kyrgyzstan will cover only 45% of the actual cost of electricity. This was revealed in a statement by Timur Orozaliyev, the director of the department for regulating the fuel and energy complex, during a broadcast on the "Kabar" agency.
Orozaliyev reported that by 2026, the cost of one kilowatt-hour will be 3 soms and 3 tyiyns.
“Starting May 1, the electricity tariff will be 1 som and 64 tyiyns, which is only 45% of the actual cost at the moment,” he explained.

Ularbek Duysho uulu, the deputy general director of JSC "NESC," added that tariffs in Kyrgyzstan remain the lowest in Central Asia. As an example, he cited neighboring countries: in Kazakhstan, prices range from 4.31 to 5.54 soms, in Uzbekistan from 4.30 to 7.30 soms, and in Tajikistan from 3.16 to 3.60 soms per kilowatt-hour.

It should be noted that the new tariffs, which will come into effect on May 1, are divided into eight main categories of consumers, including the population, industrial facilities, and budgetary institutions.

The Cabinet of Ministers aims to achieve self-sufficiency of the energy system by 2030, actively attracting "green" financing and developing public-private partnerships.
