“The current energy crisis is caused by oversized energy export,” the Prime Minister Igor Chudinov said at the meeting with the Ak Jol People’s Party fraction in the Parliament today.

“It has started in 2004 when we drained 2bln cubic meters of water to provide electricity supply to Russia,” Chudinov said.

Kyrgyzstan suffered from lack of water not once. “The same thing happened in 1996, however now we have to control electricity export abroad as we are not able to sell 2bln kilowatt per hour any more,” the premier added.
