JinkoSolar has announced that it has signed a contract for Kyrgyzstan’s largest (325MW) solar power plant, the project to exclusively deploy the company’s Tiger Neo 3.0 modules.
Kyrgyzstan’s PV market is still in its infancy, and large-scale utility-scale PV projects remain relatively scarce. A 325MW centralized ground-mounted power plant offers significant economies of scale in the local electricity market, making economic considerations in module selection particularly critical, each module representing a comprehensive trade-off between land resources, BOS costs and full-lifecycle power generation revenue.
The core value of the Tiger Neo 3.0 in this project is reflected in the four quantifiable dimensions of high power output, high bifaciality, low-light response and low degradation.
Kyrgyzstan’s power system has long been dominated by hydropower, which accounts for over 90% of the total capacity; with fluctuations during dry seasons directly impacting energy security. This project covers the entire chain, from power generation, voltage step-up and transmission to grid connection, and holds landmark significance in the development of large-scale centralized photovoltaic projects in the country. While enhancing the grid’s capacity to integrate large-scale renewable energy, the project is driving Kyrgyzstan’s transition from a single-source hydropower system to a diversified “hydropower + PV” renewable energy structure. During the construction phase, the project will create jobs, improve infrastructure, and boost the region’s appeal to investors, generating an economic multiplier effect that extends beyond the installed capacity figures themselves.
