Electricity Consumption Limit Increased to 7 kW for Multi-Apartment Buildings with Electric Heating in Kyrgyzstan

The Ministry of Energy in Kyrgyzstan has increased the permitted electrical power supply from 5 to 7 kW for multi-apartment residential buildings with single-phase meters that are heated by electricity. This decision, affecting around 276 multi-apartment buildings in Bishkek alone, aims to address peak loads on transformer equipment during the fall-winter period when residents rely on electricity for heating. The change does not impact other household consumers or individual housing, which remain at the previous 5 kW limit.
