The President of Kyrgyzstan Kurmanbek Bakiev held a meeting with Felix Kulov, leader of the opposition party “Ar-Namys” to discuss a critical situation in the energy sector of the Kyrgyz economy.

Felix Kulov spoke about the specific methods of attracting German investments for the building of small and medium hydroelectric power stations.

As is well known, Felix Kulov sent an agenda to Kurmanbek Bakiev where he wrote of a vision detailing a way out of the current energy crisis.

“I have sensible suggestions about the development of small and medium energy [resources] of the republic”, told Felix Kulov during the meeting.

The President supported this suggestion and observed that such initiatives were deserving of state attention.

“I stressed our energy potential at the conference of Ak-Zhol party yesterday. We have great possibilities to develop small hydroelectric power stations. The hydroelectric power stations can be built locally, don’t need large sums [of money] and they are able to solve the questions with systematic supply of energy. Besides, the tariffs would be acceptable”, told Bakiev.

As a result of the meeting, Kurmanbek Bakiev entrusted the President Administration to make a plan for the realization of this suggestion and prepare a resolution for the projects.
