Kyrgyzstan Allocates Land for Kazarman Hydropower Project
The Government of Kyrgyzstan has allocated 23 hectares of land in the Jalal-Abad region to facilitate the construction of the Kazarman hydropower cascade. This site is designated for a temporary construction camp and administrative facilities that will support the development of hydroelectric plants with a combined capacity of 912 megawatts.
Cabinet of Ministers Chairman Adylbek Kasymaliev signed the decree authorizing the transfer. The plot, located in the Kara-Bulun tract within the Kargalyk rural district of the Toguz-Toro district, has been granted to Orta Asia Investment Holding. Classified as industrial and energy land, the site is provided for rent-free use over a six-year period, which may be extended under the provisions of the investment agreement.
The investment contract for building and operating the facilities was signed by the national government in August 2025. Official documents indicate the Turkish investor previously operated under the names Central Asian Investment Holding and Central-Asian Investment Holding. Corporate records from the Kyrgyz Ministry of Justice show the enterprise was established by Sur Muhammet Haluk and is managed by Gezer Selcuk.
Preparatory work at the energy facility site is scheduled to commence by December 1 of this year – a deadline established in the approved work plan of the Cabinet of Ministers. The projected cost of the development is estimated at three billion dollars. A final budget will be determined once the feasibility study is completed and passes state review by the Ministry of Construction, Architecture, and Housing and Communal Services.
The State Agency for Land Resources has been directed to register the property rights for the allocated tract, while the local administration will execute the usage agreement with the investor. Authorities have mandated that the company must utilize the land exclusively for its designated purpose and without the right of alienation.
