In this regard, experts warn of a possible water shortage, which could negatively affect electricity generation. The necessity of strict adherence to electricity consumption limits was also emphasized; however, as practice shows, this rule is not always followed.
Regarding coal reserves, the republic needs to prepare 3 million 174,792 thousand tons of coal for a successful heating season, and there are sufficient reserves available. The heat power plants in Bishkek and Osh also have the necessary reserves of coal and fuel oil.
Following the meeting, Bakyt Torobaev instructed the heads of institutions to work in an enhanced mode during the heating season. He noted the importance of uninterrupted fuel supply to the population and key facilities, as well as stable electricity and heat supply, calling for readiness for possible changes in weather conditions in the near future.
