A new Pumping Station No. 3 was opened in Bishkek, built to improve the hydraulic regime of the main heating networks and enhance the reliability of heat supply for residents of the central and western parts of the capital.

The event was attended by the Mayor of Bishkek, Aibek Junushaliev, the Minister of Energy of the Kyrgyz Republic, Taalaybek Ibraev, the Chairman of the Bishkek City Kenesh, Bekzhan Usenaliev, and others.

The Mayor noted that the new station is an important project aimed at improving Bishkek’s heating system. It will ensure a more stable and reliable supply of heat to the city.

“Bishkekteploset” supplies heat to over 143,000 subscribers and is one of the key facilities of the city’s communal infrastructure. Thanks to the dedicated work and daily efforts of the enterprise’s staff, heat is delivered to every home, ensuring comfort and well-being for residents. I want to emphasize that providing heat to the city is a complex and responsible task.

This station is the result of many years of planning and construction,” the Mayor added.

During the event, green spaces were also planted on the station’s premises.

Construction was planned as early as 1986, but for various reasons was delayed and began in 2024.

For the project, land plots totaling 0.85 hectares were allocated. The work was carried out by the winners of competitive tenders: the design was done by JSC “Kyrgyzgiprostroy,” and construction and installation work by the CRBC consortium and LLC “Tekhnotop.”

During construction, the western bank of the Alameddin River was reinforced, a 120-meter bypass channel was built, four pipelines with a diameter of 1000 mm were laid, and a 576 m² pumping station building was erected. The facility is equipped with eight modern pumps, each with a capacity of 2,500 m³/hour, as well as a transformer substation with two transformers.

Power cable lines from the Bishkek substation were installed, and automation and dispatching systems were implemented. The roadway of Osmonkul Street was reconstructed, with asphalt laid, sidewalks arranged, and the drainage system improved.

The opening of the new pumping station is a significant step in modernizing the capital’s heat supply and will ensure a stable provision of heat to consumers during the heating season.
