  • Power sector governed by Ministry of Energy and Water and operated by Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS)<\/li>\n
  • Power system grouped into 4 networks -North East Power System, South East Power System, Herat Zone System and Turkmenistan System<\/li>\n
  • Around 77% of energy consumption is met through power import from neighboring countries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

    Key power sector issues identified in the report (2016)<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Skewed generation mix dominated by hydro sources (53%) necessitates inclusion of RE and thermal sources<\/li>\n
    • Aged power generation, transmission & distribution systems requiring rehabilitation & modernization<\/li>\n
    • Technical & commercial loss is estimated at around 35% which is very high compared to other Central Asian countries<\/li>\n
    • At present, only 70% of the households in big cities (Kabul, Mazar-e-Sharif and Herat) of Afghanistan, have access to power. One of the key goals of the Government is to ensure energy accessibility to the entire population<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
