Local officials in Panjshir said that the construction of the Parande Power Dam is 98% complete.
According to them, the construction cost of this dam is $7.6 million and it has a production capacity of 4 megawatts.
The pipeline of the Parande Power Dam is 2,200 meters long and 1.2 meters in diameter, with 2 turbines each with a production capacity of 2 megawatts.
Panjshir province governor Mohammad Agha Hakim said: "98% of the work is completed, only 2% of the remaining work will be finished soon. It will produce 4 megawatts of electricity and meet the needs of the people of Panjshir."
The construction of this power dam started during the previous government but was halted for unknown reasons.
After the Islamic Emirate came to power, the construction of this power dam was carried out by Ukrainian contractors who are using advanced Czech equipment in its construction.
"The equipment for this power dam has been brought from the Czech Republic and meets all global standards," the head of the contracting company said.
The residents of Panjshir said the completion of this power dam is beneficial and that they face serious challenges in the absence of electricity.
"It is a convenience for the people of Panjshir. For twenty years, the people of Panjshir were waiting for electricity to be completed," said Abdul Majeed, a resident of Panjshir.
"In the past twenty years, we did not have electricity. We had water power but no government electricity," said Abdul Hamid, another resident of Panjshir.
The Parande power dam is built on the Parande river in the center of Panjshir province and is the first and largest government power dam in the province.
