According to Taalaibek Ibraev, as Kyrgyzstan becomes an economically strong state, the demand for electricity is growing. He noted that this growth is driven not only by population growth but also by the country's overall economic upswing.
The need to build a nuclear power plant
Ibraev believes that under the current conditions, building a nuclear power plant is an urgent necessity. He also mentioned that the topic had previously been discussed during negotiations with Rosatom.
According to the former minister, discussion of building a nuclear power plant began in January 2022, and the construction of small nuclear power plants was considered as part of those negotiations.
