In Naryn Oblast, Kyrgyzstan, the cold winter winds are always accompanied by a shortage of electricity supply. Due to the long-term dependence of the local energy structure on hydropower, whenever glaciers retreat and rivers enter the dry season, the power shortage becomes a bottleneck restricting development. Now, this situation is about to be rewritten.

China Energy Engineering Group Xinjiang Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd. Joining hands with China Energy Engineering Group No. 3 Electric Power Construction Co., Ltd. to form an EPC joint venture and officially signing a contract for the Nalun State Photovoltaic Power Station project, a modern "energy oasis" will emerge on the plateau.

Alliance Bright Sword

In this expedition, China Energy Engineering Corporation dispatched its golden partner of "design+construction". Previously, Xinjiang Institute won a reputation for achieving the "Chinese speed" from signing to grid connection in six months in a project in Chuhe Oblast, Kyrgyzstan. This joint venture with TEPCO Third Company, which specializes in power engineering construction, not only enhances the service capabilities of the entire industry chain, but also brings mature overseas project management experience to Naren State. This model of strong alliance is the core way for China Energy Construction to deeply cultivate the new energy market along the the Belt and Road.

Full chain foundation construction

The project will construct a photovoltaic power station with a considerable installed capacity and supporting booster station. Unlike simple component installation, the project covers a full range of professional content including electrical systems, automation control, civil structures, fire protection, and HVAC. By adopting efficient photovoltaic module technology, the system operation stability and power generation efficiency of the power station will be greatly improved. This full lifecycle service model covering design, procurement, construction, and commissioning ensures that the power station can become a stable and reliable energy supply point in the power grid like local hydropower stations after completion.

Resolving the Water and Electricity Dilemma

About 90% of Kyrgyzstan's electricity comes from hydropower, and the problem of power shortage during the dry season has a long history. To this end, the Jilin government has vigorously promoted energy diversification in recent years and introduced tax reduction policies to attract foreign investment in the development of solar energy. As a key planning area, Nalun State urgently needs a photovoltaic power station to balance the seasonal fluctuations of hydropower. After the completion of this project, it will effectively alleviate the local power supply pressure, improve the single energy structure dominated by hydropower, and provide key support for building a new energy system, so that the lights on the plateau will no longer dim due to dry water.keywords:New energy information network

With the deployment of photovoltaic panels on the land of Naryn Oblast, China Energy Construction's green footprint in Kyrgyzstan is extending inland from Chuhe Oblast. This is not only the output of technology, but also a leap from "single point breakthrough" to "system layout" in energy cooperation.Editor/Yang Meiling
