Graduates of the RES Department are specialists in a wide range of fields.

The faculty has completed advanced training courses in Kyrgyzstan (4 programs); Germany (Berlin University of Technology, Kassel University, West Saxon University of Zwickau); Sweden (1 program); the UK (Coventry University); Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur); the Russian Federation (3 programs); China (Beijing); Kazakhstan (Almaty, Astana); and Iran (Isfahan).

The Department of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) was established in 2001.

From 2001 to 2003, the first head of the RES Department was Professor Kalyi Rakhimovich Rakhimov, PhD in Engineering.

Kalyi Rakhimovich Rakhimov, born in 1938, graduated from the Institute of Pedagogical Sciences (IPP) in 1961 with a degree in Electric Power Plants. He has been working at the IPP-KSTU since 1963. From 2001 to 2003, he was the head of the RES Department. He is an Honored Power Engineer of the Kyrgyz SSR (1980), awarded the Medal "For Labor Valor" (1970) and the "Dank" Medal (1999), an Academician of the Engineering Academy of the Kyrgyz Republic, and the author of over 130 scientific papers, including 18 monographs and three copyright certificates.

From December 2003 to 2014, the Head of the Renewable Energy Sources Department was Alaybek Dzhumabekovich Obozov, Doctor of Engineering Sciences and Professor.

Alaybek Dzhumabekovich Obozov is a Doctor of Engineering Sciences (2003), professor, member of the International Eco-Energy Academy, Baku (1985), and Academician of the Engineering Academy of the Kyrgyz Republic (2005). During his academic career, he has published over 270 scientific papers, including 5 monographs, 1 textbook, and 3 teaching aids. He has received 19 patents and copyright certificates.

Renewable Energy Sources Development Prospects.

From July 2014 to 2025, the Head of the Renewable Energy Sources Department was Candidate of Engineering Sciences, Associate Professor Turukmen Zhusupbekovich Zhabudaev.

Turukmen Zhusupbekovich Zhabudaev graduated from the Kyrgyz Technical University in 1995 with a degree in Hydroelectric Power Plants and a qualification as an Electrical Engineer. Since 1995, he has worked at KTU as a lecturer in the Electrical Power Engineering Department. Since 1999, he has been a senior lecturer in the Electrical Power Engineering Department. Since 2001, he has been a senior lecturer in the Renewable Energy Sources Department. He has published over 32 scientific and methodological works, including one textbook approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Kyrgyz Republic and two lecture courses. He has received one copyright certificate. He is an "Excellent Education Worker" of the Kyrgyz Republic and was awarded the "Kaarman" Medal - an "Excellent Worker in Energy and Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic."

One of the most experienced teachers and hydroelectric engineers in the Kyrgyz Republic, Associate Professor Ivan Konstantinovich Rudakov, PhD in Engineering, made a significant contribution to the development and establishment of the department. He graduated from the Tokmok Technical School of Mechanization and Electrification in 1949. In 1954, he graduated from the Hydropower Faculty of the Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Waterworks Engineers. He has published over 30 scientific papers and received two copyright certificates. He worked at KSTU from 1997 to 2003. This specialist in hydraulic structures is the author of the design and creator of several laboratory setups and benches installed at the K.I. Scriabin Kyrgyz National Agrarian University and the B.N. Yeltsin Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University. A laboratory complex for hydraulic structures of hydroelectric power plants was also created at the Department of Renewable Energy Sources at KSTU named after I. Razzakov, based on a design by I.K. Rudakov.

The department has trained over 1,000 engineers and masters students, and six candidates of engineering sciences.

Bachelor's degree programs are offered in the 640200 Electric Power and Electrical Engineering program, focusing on three areas:

Hydroelectric Power;

Electric Power Management;

Alternative Energy Sources.

Study options: full-time and distance learning.

Master's degree programs are offered in the 640200 Electric Power and Electrical Engineering program, focusing on two areas:

Hydroelectric Power;

Alternative Energy Sources.

The department has been offering training in the Hydroelectric Power specialization since 1990. The department began offering training in the Electric Power Management specialization in 1999, and the Alternative Energy Sources specialization since 2007.

Since 2013, the Kyrgyz-German Technical Institute has been offering training in the "Hydroelectric Power" program in the 640200 Electric Power and Electrical Engineering program, focusing on "Alternative Energy Sources." Since 2015, the Institute of Joint Educational Programs at KSTU has also been offering training in this program since 2014.

Graduates of the department have successfully

Graduates of the department successfully work at thermal and hydraulic power plants, at electrical grid enterprises, in the power supply system of industrial enterprises, cities and agriculture, in universities, design and research institutes, and in responsible government positions.
