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.
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.
Applications of bio-energy such as waste to energy and biogas units are relevant to Afghanistan. Raw material (municipality waste) is available in the cities which can be utilized in the waste to energy projects for electricity generation. In remote areas, agricultural wastes are available that can act as a raw material for biogas plants.
Solar power (both solar PV and thermal) investment in 2016 in developed countries was USD 56.2 billion, compared to USD 57.5 billion in developing and emerging economies. has been installed in Afghanistan by 2016. The largest one is 1MW solar PV off grid system, which is installed in Bamyan province, supported by New Zealand Government.
