MP: If we will have a drought next year, then we will have to cut off power in 2021

AKIPRESS.COM - CASA-1000 project is needed, but Kyrgyzstan will have a hard time with exporting electricity, it should be said openly, said MP Ziyadin Jamaldinov at the session of the parliament committee for budget and finances.
The water level in the Toktogul reservoir is 2 billion m3 less than last year, he said.
"January is coming and there is less know in mountains, which is a sign of drought in the next year. If we will have a drought next year, then we will have to cut off power in 2021," he said.
Kyrgyzstan cannot fulfill its obligations on CASA-1000 project in low water period, he said.
The committee is considering the draft amendments to the financing agreement with the European Investment Bank on CASA-1000 project signed on October 2, 2015 in Luxembourg.
