Kyrgyzstan to launch first waste-to-energy plant in Central Asia by 2025
Bishkek facility to process 1,000 tons of solid waste daily and generate 30 MWh of electricity, with plans to triple capacity
BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan (MNTV) — Kyrgyzstan is set to complete construction of its first waste-to-energy facility by December 2025, aiming to tackle waste management challenges while generating additional electricity for the capital.
The announcement came on May 11 during President Sadyr Zhaparov’s visit to the Bishkek landfill, where the plant is currently under development. According to officials, the facility will process up to 1,000 tons of household waste daily and produce 30 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity. The plant’s capacity is expected to increase to 3,000 tons per day in the future.
According to Kabar Kyrgyz National News Agency, the Bishkek Mayor’s Office stated that the project is the first of its kind in Central Asia and will play a key role in addressing the region’s growing waste problem while supporting urban energy needs.
President Zhaparov emphasized the importance of meeting construction deadlines and ensuring environmental safety throughout the development process. He described the initiative as a critical step toward sustainable urban development and improving environmental conditions in Bishkek.
The facility is expected to become a model for similar waste-to-energy initiatives across the region.
