Deputy Bakhridin Shabazov raised the issue of potential risks and possible outflow of investors at a meeting of the Committee on Industrial Policy, Transport, Fuel and Energy Complex, Architecture, and Construction, held on January 20, 2026. He focused on the cancellation of the coefficient of 1.3, applied for the guaranteed purchase of electricity produced using renewable energy sources (RES).

Deputy Minister of Energy Altynbek Rysbekov, in response to these questions, confirmed that the tariff for purchasing electricity from small hydropower plants will remain at 4.42 soms per kWh.

Shabazov also inquired about the reasons for the cancellation of the coefficient of 1.3. In response, he was informed that the medium-term tariff policy would allow investors to set prices in foreign currency for projects related to public-private partnerships in the fuel and energy complex.

The meeting also considered the draft law "On Amendments to the Law on Renewable Energy Sources" in its first reading.
