Kyrgyzstan is holding talks on the supply of electricity with Russia and a number of countries in the region, Deputy Prime Minister Aziz Aaliyev said.

On Wednesday, the republic's lawmakers heard information about the work of the cabinet to prepare the sectors of the economy and the population for the fall-winter period of 2021-2022. Speaking to lawmakers, Aaliyev said that due to low water on October 1, the volume of water in the reservoir supplying the country's largest Toktogul hydroelectric power station is 12.3 billion cubic meters, which is 2.9 billion cubic meters less than last year.

"This creates certain risks for the republic's power grid, since we use about 7-8 billion cubic meters of water to generate electricity in the fall-winter period, and the water level should not fall below the 'dead level' after the heating period," the deputy prime minister said.
