Swiss support for the Kyrgyz energy sector has a history of over ten years. Measures to save energy were initiated together with a Kyrgyz partner organisation at the level of the Kyrgyz distribution companies and at the level or rural consumers. Technical measures for the maintenance of the infrastructure (substations / overhead lines) have largely been implemented jointly with other international donors.
User-oriented home insulation and heating improvement projects at the village level have gone through the pilot phase, proved technically viable and are ready for upscaling. The most important idea behind these projects is that they are designed to use local material, as emphasised in the title.
