On June 14, 2026, Phase 1 of the ROX Issyk-Kul Solar Farm was officially inaugurated, marking the delivery of its first kilowatts of clean electricity to the national grid. The milestone represents a new step in Kyrgyzstan’s green energy transition while opening up new prospects for economic and energy cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam.
Groundbreaking in October 2025, and just eight months later, Phase 1 of the ROX Issyk-Kul Solar Farm, with a capacity of 175 MWp, was completed and officially began generating electricity.
To achieve this accelerated schedule, ROX Energy Global – the project developer and a member of ROX Group – coordinated the construction of thousands of work items simultaneously under challenging conditions, including a vast terrain, distinctive climate conditions, and stringent technical, quality, and operational safety requirements.
The rapid completion of Phase 1 was made possible by close coordination between ROX Energy Global and Kyrgyzstan’s relevant authorities and local governments. Throughout the implementation process, the Government of Kyrgyzstan, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Construction, and local authorities provided close support and coordination, ensuring that the project met all required technical standards and operational conditions.
Completing Phase 1 within just eight months not only demonstrates ROX Energy Global’s capability to deliver large-scale energy projects, but also reflects the shared determination of all stakeholders to rapidly bring clean energy into operation and support economic development.
For Kyrgyzstan, developing new energy sources is particularly important as electricity demand continues to grow. With significant renewable energy potential, the country is working to diversify its power mix, gradually reduce dependence on conventional energy sources, and move toward a more sustainable energy system.
Against this background, the ROX Issyk-Kul Solar Farm is expected to make a significant contribution to Kyrgyzstan’s energy transition.
Upon completion of all phases, the project is expected to reach a total capacity of approximately 1,900 MWp across 2,187.9 hectares, with total investment of approximately USD 1.4 billion. The plant is expected to generate more than 3.3 billion kWh of electricity annually, helping increase power supply, meet growing energy demand, create employment opportunities, and support local socio-economic development.
At this scale, the ROX Issyk-Kul Solar Farm is more than a renewable energy project. It is also an important part of Kyrgyzstan’s long-term energy infrastructure development strategy.
For ROX Energy Global, the value of an energy project is measured not only by its capacity or power output. More importantly, it lies in its ability to create long-term value for communities, contribute to energy security, and support each country’s journey toward sustainable growth.
That is why “First Light of Issyk-Kul” – the first green electricity generated by the ROX Issyk-Kul Solar Farm – represents more than a technical milestone. It marks the beginning of a new chapter of cooperation between ROX Energy Global and Kyrgyzstan, while symbolizing trust, partnership, and a shared aspiration to build a greener and more prosperous future.
From Vietnam to Kyrgyzstan, ROX Energy Global is gradually expanding from its experience in developing and operating energy projects in Vietnam to taking on the role of an international energy infrastructure developer, pursuing large-scale projects that create long-term value and positive impacts for host economies.
Phase 1 of the ROX Issyk-Kul Solar Farm has been completed. The first clean electricity has been generated. And from the first light over Lake Issyk-Kul, a new energy journey is beginning.
