Afghanistan

Approximately 70% of Afghanistan’s total power capacity of 1,450 MW is imported from the neighboring countries. Currently, 97.7% of the country’s population has access to electricity.

To meet growing energy demand and bridge shortfalls, the Government of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan is advancing a 2,000 MW renewable energy program as part of a more comprehensive green growth agenda.

In line with this agenda, the Ministry of Energy and Water is looking to identify a private investor for the development, construction, and operation of up to 40 MW of grid-connected solar PV installations on an IPP basis, located near Gozareh district in Herat Province.

An information brief for the project can be found here.
