The management and regulation of the power sector in Kyrgyzstan are the responsibility of the Ministry of Energy (ME). The ME is responsible for all strategic planning, legislation and developments within the power sector. Kyrgyzstan's power sector comprises six public joint-stock companies - one generation, one transmission and four regional distribution companies. In addition, there are private generation companies and 21 regional private distributors of electricity. However, while there are private companies in Kyrgyzstan, generators of electricity have to pay the state-owned regional distribution companies for the use of substations. Additionally, payments to the National Electricity Grid of Kyrgyzstan (NEGK) (transmission) and Electric Power Plants (EPP) (generation) may also be required - reportedly depending on the voltages in the substations utilised. The state thereby maintains a heavy presence in the power sector, despite there being some private actors.
