Kyrgyzstan nuclear power plant

Kyrgyzstan nuclear power plant is a 110 MW nuclear power station in Chuy, Kyrgyzstan. It ranks #13 of 15 Kyrgyzstan power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, nuclear supplies about 0.0% of Kyrgyzstan's electricity; the national grid averages 153 gCO₂/kWh (84.7% low-carbon) (2025).

capacity: GEM Global Nuclear Power Tracker September 2025 unit-status sum (announced); fuel: GEM GNPT

In context: how this plant compares

Technically it is described as pressurized water reactor. Its current lifecycle status is “Announced” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Nuclear plants split uranium to raise steam with no direct CO₂; they run as steady baseload with very high capacity factors and the longest operating lifetimes of any thermal plant.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
