Focussing on renewables for domestic power generation, would ensure power generation and grid stability for its current and future energy needs, and would thus help Afghanistan achieve energy security.
The wind power capacity at the end of 2016 was enough to meet almost 4% of total world electricity production. Wind power is now considered as the most cost-effective option in a large number of countries for new power generating capacity. Afghanistan has a good wind resource potential especially in South East part of the country.
Considering the fact that Afghanistan has significant numbers of reservoirs and dams for irrigational and electricity generation purposes, this Roadmap recommends setting up of 10.5 MWp of floating PV plants of varying capacities on the basis of detailed feasibility studies, including Environmental-Social Impacts Assessment (ESIA) studies.
Afghanistan is rich in energy resources, both fossil fuel based and renewables. However, it still depends heavily on imported electricity and fuels and has one of the lowest per capita consumption of electricity in the world. Lack of domestic generation remains the key challenge for energy security and energy access in Afghanistan.
