At the construction stage of the "Isanova" substation with a capacity of 220 kV, which is planned for installation in the Osh region, route surveys are being conducted using drones.
“This methodology allows for highly accurate aerial photography and recording of video materials along the routes of electrical lines. The collected data is processed in 3D format, which enables a precise assessment of the terrain, technical features, and potential challenges during construction,” the ministry clarified.
Regarding consulting services, the ministry announced the signing of a contract with the Iranian company Monenco Iran. Research and design related to environmental and social aspects will be conducted in collaboration with the consultant MERCADOS ARIES INTERNATIONAL, S.A. from February 27 to March 31, 2026.
“The use of drones allows for precise route planning, conducting preliminary environmental impact assessments, and ensuring strict compliance with safety standards. This is the first case of applying modern technologies in Kyrgyzstan and sets new benchmarks for the country's energy projects. As a result, the resilience of the region's electricity supply is enhanced, and the integration of renewable energy sources is improved,” the statement added.
The Ministry of Energy also noted that with the commissioning of new overhead lines with a voltage of 110 kV, which are planned to be built in Uzgen, Kara-Kuldja, and Kara-Suu, the "Kara-Shoro," "Kara-Kuldja," and "Karatay" substations will be connected to the main substation "Isanova." The length of the new overhead lines will be:
- 110 kV "Isanova – Kara-Kuldja" – 40 km
- 110 kV "Isanova – Karatay" – 60 km
- Double-circuit 110 kV "Isanova – Kara-Shoro" – 3 km
