Officials at the Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) say they have measures in place to prevent power outages in the country.

Hekmatullah Maiwandi, a spokesman for DABS, stated that currently, 60% of the electricity needs of the capital’s residents are being met.

"For regular electricity distribution, 55–60% is allocated to residential areas and 60–65% to factories,” Maiwandi said.

However, some residents of the capital complain about power outages and urge officials to address these challenges.

 "There is no electricity in homes, and companies and factories are also facing power shortages. We urge the Islamic Emirate to make efforts in this area because the more work is done, the more it will contribute to the development and progress of the country,” said Khalid, a Kabul resident.

"For about 20 or 25 years, we have not had consistent electricity. Everyone knows Afghanistan faces power outages. In a 24-hour period, we only have four hours of electricity,” said Abdul Rauf, another Kabul resident said.

According to some experts, the country’s economic progress depends on energy production within Afghanistan.

"If electricity distribution is managed properly, it can be said that both the economic crisis will be resolved, and the unemployment rate will drop to zero,” stated Shamsur Rahman Ahmadzai, an economic expert.

Based on officials’ reports, Afghanistan has the capacity to produce 318,000 megawatts of electricity from various sources, including wind, water, solar, and thermal energy.
