With many large and medium-sized rivers flowing within the country it provides significant opportunities for Hydro-Electric generation, With many plains and mountainous regions, Kyrgyzstan becomes a potential space to generate Renewable Energy by means of Solar and Wind.  

Currently, the country has the potential to generate more than 140 billion kW/hr in just Hydropower energy alone.  While the potential is large, the country is not making the most of its endowments and its energy potential and currently generates only 10% of it.
