Measures
Coal fired power generation in Kyrgyzstan is relatively low and therefore, it is believed that the power industry has not been as critically important for the economy as it is in other countries. This gives an opportunity to act fast to transition this industry to alternative energy industries. Nevertheless, it is very important to ensure the transition does not impact the socio-economic condition of people who are already into this sector.
The Government of Kyrgyzstan may work together with stakeholders, with support from the international community, to develop and implement a “just” transition plan for coal dependent areas/population affected by the phase out. Energy transitions are about people - workers, consumers, businesses, communities, taxpayers and voters - who make decisions that lead to transitions and are ultimately affected by them.
