Bishkek Power Outage Disrupts Hot Water Supply; Restoration Underway

A recent power outage in Bishkek caused a temporary suspension of operations at several critical water pumping stations, including NS-1, NS-2, NS-7, and NS-12. The disruption directly impacted the city's hot water supply.

According to the Bishkek mayor's office, power supply to these pumping stations has now been restored. Consequently, the hot water supply to consumers has started to be reinstated as the stations regain their operational capacity. The municipal enterprise "Bishkekteploenergo" has confirmed its readiness to receive and distribute the hot water.

However, the complete restoration of the hydraulic regime and the completion of necessary adjustment work will require additional time. "Bishkekteploenergo" is actively monitoring the situation and has pledged to keep the public informed about the progress of the recovery efforts.

The blackout also affected the Bishkek Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP), which temporarily ceased electricity and heat generation. Automatic division systems were activated on the city's power lines during the outage, highlighting the interconnectedness of the city's infrastructure.
