A July 7 official release announces approval of Afghanistan’s five-year electricity development plan, including 25 generation projects using hydropower, solar, wind and coal.
The programme also includes 13 unfinished and 23 planned transmission-line projects alongside distribution investments. These counts describe a project portfolio, not commissioned capacity or closed financing for every project.
In an IEA scenario, electricity could cost-effectively supply 33 percent of final energy use by 2035; projected import savings are not realized outcomes.
The utility’s long-term plan projects lower emissions despite rising electricity demand; its solar, battery and reverse-osmosis targets are not completed outcomes.
