Three years after the suspension of work on the 220 kV Bamiyan-Dushi power line, the governor of Bamiyan says that the work will soon resume.

Abdullah Sarhadi, the governor of Bamiyan, said that in a meeting with the acting minister of Energy and Water, the minister pledged that the work on the power line would be restarted.

The construction of the 220 kV Bamiyan-Dushi power line, with a capacity of 300 MW, began in 2018 and was expected to be completed within two years. However, with the return of the Islamic Emirate, the work was halted with 70% progress made.

The governor of Bamiyan said, "In the meeting I had with the Minister of Energy and Water, he assured us that efforts would be made to bring electricity to Bamiyan. 70% of the work has progressed, and we will try to solve the remaining 30% of the issues."

According to officials, more than four thousand families in Bamiyan city currently benefit from state electricity services.

Residents of Bamiyan, most of whom do not have access to electricity, are demanding the immediate implementation of this project.

Meysam Nazari, a resident of Bamiyan, said: "Unfortunately, we have electricity for only 3 to 4 hours a day, and we don't have any power at night. We cannot use any electronic devices."

Mohammad Hashim, another resident of Bamiyan, said: "We use electricity, but unfortunately, in the current situation, there is no work, and the price of electricity is 50 afghani per kilowatt, which is very expensive for us."

Bamiyan, with its seven districts, is one of the central provinces of the country where more than 90% of families are deprived of electricity, and many are forced to use solar power in their homes.
