Global GridKyrgyzstan's energy mix and electricity
🇰🇬 In 2025, Kyrgyzstan generated 15.7 TWh of electricity. The largest source was hydro at 85%, followed by coal (12%) and gas (1.8%). In total, 85% came from low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) and 15% from fossil fuels.
On average, each kilowatt hour produced about 150 grams of carbon dioxide (CO₂), far below the world average of 458 grams in 2025. That makes Kyrgyzstan the 34th cleanest of 158 countries that generate at least 1 TWh a year.
Electricity demand was 19.2 TWh. Kyrgyzstan imported 3.53 TWh more electricity than it exported, equal to 18% of its demand.
Since 2000, electricity generation has stayed about the same, from 15.8 TWh. The low-carbon share went from 86% to 85%. The biggest rise was in coal, from 5% to 12% of generation. The biggest fall was in gas, from 9% to 2%. Carbon intensity rose from 102 to 150 grams per kWh.

Energy security score
Moderate. Kyrgyzstan ranks 79th of 158 countries and 16th of 46 in Asia. The score shows how well a country could keep electricity affordable and on if fuel supplies were disrupted. It is based on 4 of the 5 measures.
| Measure | Score |
|---|---|
| Produces its own energy No reliable figure exists for Kyrgyzstan, so this measure is left out and the other four count for more. | n/a |
| Variety of power sources How evenly generation is spread across nine sources. The largest, hydro, made 85%. | 29 |
| Little reliance on imported power Net imports were 18% of demand; each 1% takes off 2 points. | 63 |
| Low-carbon power Nuclear and renewables made 85% of generation. | 85 |
| Low gas and oil use Gas and oil made 2.4% of generation; the score is 100 minus that share. | 98 |
The five measures are weighted 30%, 20%, 20%, 15% and 15%. How the score works.
Oil and gas pipelines
Global Energy Monitor lists 2,536 km of oil and gas pipelines operating in Kyrgyzstan, 0 km being built and 1,112 km proposed (lengths measured along the mapped routes; a pipeline crossing borders counts in full for each country).
