Solar Training I for Energy Specialists at KSTU in Bishkek




The Bulan Institute and the Kyrgyz State Technical University named after I. Razzakov have successfully completed the solar training from May 19 to May 26 2025. Spanning eight days, the training brought together 12 carefully selected participants, nominated through the Ministry of Energy of Kyrgyzstan. The group included representatives from two major state energy bodies: the National Electric Grid System and the Chakan Hydroelectric Power Station (Chakan HPP). Notably, five of the twelve participants were women, reflecting a strong commitment to gender inclusion in the energy sector.

The training program was designed to combine theory with hands-on practice, using a three-pronged approach: classroom-based theoretical lectures, laboratory sessions, and practical session. The curriculum was developed jointly by the Bulan Institute and KSTU, comprising 24 sessions and a total of 64 teaching hours. The core instruction was delivered by experienced faculty members from KSTU, with additional contributions from external experts and trainers representing Bishkek Electro, New Tech, and EnergoProekt.

In addition to in-class and lab-based learning, participants had the opportunity to visit KSTU’s on-campus renewable energy laboratories and its operational solar power station. During the visit, they observed firsthand how the solar station functions and how it connects to the national grid. This site visit offered a valuable bridge between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, reinforcing the training’s practical value.
