Efforts Underway to Attract Investment in Thermal Electricity: MoEW

The Ministry of Energy and Water (MoEW) said that efforts are underway to attract investment in thermal electricity in the country.

The officials of the MoEW said that some countries, including the republic of Tatarstan, expressed readiness to invest in the Afghan thermal electricity sector but the exact date has yet to be determined.

“The investors from Russia, China, US, Britain, Germany, Qatar, Turkey and some other countries have come and expressed interest in investing in Afghanistan,” said Akhtar Mohammad Nasrat, a spokesman for the MoEW.

This comes as the former head of Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS), Amanullah Ghalib, said that the production of electricity from coal can alleviate the challenges caused by a shortage of electricity in the country.

“The only way to solve the problem of electricity for now in Afghanistan is to invest in the sources that produce power, particularly thermal electricity, which could be produced from coal. It could be inaugurated and brought into effect soon. It could benefit big cities such as Kabul,” Ghalib said.

The Ministry of Economy (MoE) said that the ground is paved for investments in the country and that investors can inject funds into various sectors.

“The Ministry of Economy in coordination with other ministries and other departments in a bid to create economic infrastructures and make Afghanistan a proper place for investment, tries to take necessary steps to facilitate a proper environment for national and foreign investment. This will create job opportunities and economic growth in the country,” said Abdul Rahman Habib, a spokesman for the MoE.

Afghanistan currently imports more than 80 percent of its electricity from Central Asian Nations. Every winter, the Afghan power sector struggles with a shortage of electricity that affects the livelihood of millions of citizens.
