At the expanded meeting of the Regional Investment Council in Jalal-Abad, information was presented on the socio-economic development prospects and new investment opportunities of the districts of the region.

Toktogul district emphasized the development of green energy. More than 490 hectares of land have been transferred to the Green Energy Fund for the construction of small hydropower plants (HPPs) and solar power stations. In the village of Uch-Terek, a 5 MW small HPP is under construction with an investment of over 5 million US dollars. In addition, the district is actively developing fish farming based on the Toktogul reservoir.

In Bazar-Korgon, construction has begun on a 4.6 MW small HPP, and more than 2,600 hectares of land have been allocated for solar power plants. The district is renowned for its walnut forests, and the local authorities highlighted the potential for branding, packaging, and exporting walnut kernels and products.

Suzak district presented projects in renewable energy and tourism. In the Kok-Art area, land has been prepared for the construction of small HPPs and the installation of solar panels. Particular attention is being paid to domestic tourism — on the highland plateau of Ak-Tash, a modern glamping complex is planned, which will attract tourists and increase the income of the local population.

Nooken district, one of the largest agricultural centers of the region, demonstrated significant potential in cotton and onion processing. The district traditionally remains a leader in the production of these crops, with the key task being to attract investors to establish processing enterprises and logistics centers.

Toguz-Toro district presented large-scale infrastructure projects, including the construction of the Kazarman HPP cascade with a total capacity of 1,160 MW, as well as the development of major transport corridors — the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway and the alternative North–South highway. These projects aim to transform the district into a strategic regional hub.

In Ala-Buka, the focus is on green energy and processing industries. Together with international investors, projects are underway to construct solar power plants with a capacity of 200 MW. In addition, plans are being discussed for a plant producing apple and potato puree. The district also underlined the significance of cultural and historical tourism based on the “Shah-Fazl” complex.

The presentations demonstrated that each district of Jalal-Abad region possesses unique resources and opportunities — from renewable energy and agricultural processing to tourism and logistics. The implementation of the proposed projects will enhance the region’s investment attractiveness, create new jobs, and expand its export potential.
