Kyrgyzstan is part of the Central Asian Power System connecting Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan. New integration plans include the Central Asia-South Asia power project (CASA‑1000), which will connect the electricity-exporting countries of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan with Afghanistan and Pakistan to supply them with electricity.

Executive power in Kyrgyzstan lies with the government, its subordinate ministries, state committees, administrative agencies and local administrations. In the energy sector, the government: Grants and transfers property rights, and rights for use of water, minerals and other energy resources.

Kyrgyzstan has achieved great progress in strengthening energy statistics data collection through the INOGATE programme: the National Statistical Committee has submitted joint annual questionnaires to the IEA since 2014, and for 2015 the breakdown of natural gas consumption by sector had improved.

Kyrgyzstan's total primary energy supply (TPES) was 3.9 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) in 2015 and reached 4.6 Mtoe in 2018. Total final consumption (TFC) totalled 4.2 Mtoe in 2018, and is growing rapidly (+72% since 2008). In 2018, domestic energy production was 2.3 Mtoe, consisting mostly of hydropower (53%) and coal production (37%).

Kyrgyzstan's energy saving potential is significant: it is estimated that rehabilitation and modernisation can save up to 25% of electricity and 15% of heat.
