Today, a presentation of a new pilot project aimed at implementing a solar photovoltaic installation with a battery energy storage system (BESS) in the commercial sector took place in Bishkek. This project was realized with the support of the Ministry of Economy and Commerce of the Kyrgyz Republic.
According to the ministry, a solar power plant with a capacity of about 50 kilowatts has been installed at this site, along with a battery system with a total capacity of approximately 200 kilowatt-hours. Additionally, a digital energy consumption management system (PMS/EMS) has been implemented. All technological solutions were developed using Korean equipment.
The system has the capability to operate in both grid mode (on-grid), which allows for peak load smoothing and optimization of electricity consumption, and in off-grid mode (off-grid), providing power supply in case of emergency outages and supporting the operation of a microgrid.
The event was attended by representatives from government institutions, the private sector, higher educational institutions, and international organizations.
The Ministry of Economy and Commerce emphasizes that the implementation of such projects contributes to creating a practical basis for the development of a "green" economy, the introduction of modern energy solutions, and enhancing the resilience of the country's energy infrastructure.
