According to the press service of the Ministry of Energy, in 2026, the Chui Electric Network, a branch of OJSC "Kyrgyzstan UET", plans to implement a number of significant projects.
Among the planned facilities are substations: "Manas" (110/35/10 kV), the second phase of "Chui" (220/35/10 kV), "Kün-Tuu" (110/35/10 kV), and "Leninskaya" (35/10 kV).
In addition, as part of the modernization, outdated overhead lines will be replaced with modern self-supporting insulated wires (SIP). An upgrade of 15.67 km of 10 kV lines and 103.81 km of 0.4 kV lines is expected, as well as the reconstruction of cable lines measuring 0.37 km at 10 kV and 0.15 km at 0.4 kV.
Plans also include the construction of a workshop for the production of reinforced concrete poles on the premises of the enterprise. A total of 2,800 poles will be replaced across the region, and five new transformers will be installed.
Digitalization of the sector will also be a priority. In 2026, the installation of over 80,000 smart electricity meters (ASCUEM), major repairs of 785 transformer substations, and maintenance of another 5,176 substations are planned.
The implementation of these initiatives will ensure reliable and stable power supply, improve the quality of services provided, and reduce the likelihood of emergency situations.
