Energy is one of the most important foundation in growth of a city. Kabul’s demand is 620 MW , but the government can only provide 363.5 MW, and its conventional electrical system is associated with problems like limited interaction, non- or one-way communication, limited power flow control, and cas-cading outages.
Kabul has 363.6 MW (approximately 243.5 MW from Uzbekistan, 70 MW from hydro energy and 50 MW from thermal energy) to meet 620 MW in demand, a shortage of 256.5 MW. 638,607 customers are con-nected to a traditional grid and its limitations .

Wind Energy: Kabul experiences prevailing winds from the northwest direction with average speeds between 3.1 and 5.4 m/s . It is esti-mated that Kabul has 41 MW wind capacity . Based on the geography and the strategic devel-opment areas in Kabul, two sites are considered ideal for wind energy development.
Public transportation system A public transportation system in the Kabul has been proposed using electric buses at a cost of about $100,000 each. Funding for 10 cars for each of the 22 districts of Kabul would cost $22 million. Electric vehicle: City residents can be encouraged to use electric vehicles instead of diesel and petrol cars.
