The Ministry of Energy of the Kyrgyz Republic is confiscating allocated lands from those who received them for the construction of mini-hydroelectric power stations, but did not do so. The Minister of Energy of the Kyrgyz Republic, Taalaibek Ibraev, announced this at a meeting of the Jogorku Kenesh (Parliament of Kyrgyzstan).

According to him, investors must prepare a feasibility study for the project within three months after receiving the land plot, develop it within six months and launch construction within nine months. The minister did not say a word about the need to conduct an environmental assessment of the hydroelectric power station project.

Taalaibek Ibraev also noted that the construction period of a mini-hydroelectric power station cannot exceed three years. If the investor does not meet these deadlines, the land will be confiscated.
