He pointed out that the current restrictions on electricity consumption create significant problems for the population, especially in mountainous areas.
According to the parliamentarian, in winter, temperatures in the Suusamyr Valley can reach −45-50 degrees, and in such conditions, electricity becomes not just a convenience but a necessary resource. "With a set limit of 3 kilowatts, it is impossible to provide heating for homes, schools, and social institutions. People are faced with a choice between light and heat," he noted.
Additionally, Azygaliev highlighted the shortage of coal for the population, difficulties with its delivery, and rising prices. The parliamentarian believes that the issue of providing solid fuel requires attention from the state, as it is not only a technical but also a social and humanitarian problem. Due to the cold, some schools are forced to switch to remote learning.
The deputy emphasized that the same restrictions cannot be applied to the capital Bishkek and to high-altitude areas like Suusamyr. He called for taking into account the characteristics of each region and proposed introducing a special electricity supply regime for cold and mountainous areas, or at least increasing the consumption limit.
It should be noted that from October 2025 to March 2026, a limit of 3 kilowatts on electricity consumption has been set for the population of Kyrgyzstan.
