Kyrgyzstan launches major power transformer maintenance & upgrade program

In line with directives from the Ministry of Energy of Kyrgyzstan to enhance the reliability of the energy sector and ensure a high-quality electricity supply, 298 power transformers with voltages of 6–10/0.4 kV will be repaired in Bishkek this year, with an additional 38 new power transformers installed.

The works are scheduled to take place from March through November 2026. The equipment upgrade is financed by JSC "KUEТ" and implemented by the Bishkek Electrical Networks enterprise.

During the maintenance, the technical condition of the power transformers will be inspected, worn components replaced, and necessary technical servicing carried out. The installation of new transformers will improve electricity transmission quality, balance the load, and ensure a stable power supply for consumers.
