The Upper Naryn hydropower cascade (ru|Верхне-Нарынский каскад ГЭС) is a hydropower project in Naryn Region, Kyrgyzstan. When completed, it will consist of 4 hydropower plants on the river Naryn: Ak-Bulung, Naryn-1, Naryn-2 and Naryn-3, with a total installed capacity of 238 MW.[1] [2]
Construction was started in June 2013 by the company "Verkhne-Narynskiye GES", a joint venture of the Russian company RusHydro and the Kyrgyz state-owned company "Elektricheskiye stantsii".[3] However, it was interrupted in 2015 due to financial difficulties at RusHydro,[4] and in December 2015 the Kyrgyz government decided to terminate the agreement with the Russian Federation.[5]
