BISHBEK: The region of Central Asia is facing increasingly more irreversible processes caused by climate change.

The lake has dried up during two generations of people and now less than a quarter of the reservoir remains. Before that, it was engaged in fish farming, as well as shipping, with existing corresponding infrastructure.

Kyrgyzstan’s Toktogul hydropower plant (HPP) was opened in 1975, during the Soviet era. It took some 15 years to prepare the massive reservoir and fill it before the four 300 megawatt (MW) units could start producing energy.
