The Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic, Akylbek Japarov on March 29 attended the ceremony to launch the construction of a plant for the production of electricity with the disposal of solid household waste in the city of Bishkek.
Japarov emphasized that environmental issues have been very acute in the capital in recent years. “The landfill in Bishkek needed a plant for processing household waste. Today we are starting the construction of a plant for the production of electricity with the disposal of solid household waste. This project is very important for us,” he said.
The Mayor of Bishkek, Aibek Junushaliev, the Ambassador of China to the Kyrgyz Republic, Du Dewen, and the director of the Chinese company that will construct the plant participated in the ceremony.
The new plant will process approximately 850 tons of solid waste per day. Waste incinerators, power generators, and cleaning systems will be built at the plant, and its construction is to be completed in November 2025.
Currently, a large waste incineration plant is being built in the city of Jalal-Abad, and a Belarusian company has begun building a waste incineration plant in the city of Karakol.
