Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) has requested the World Bank resume the remaining work on the CASA-1000 project in Afghanistan.

Hekmatullah Maiwandi, a spokesman for DABS, added that with the implementation of the CASA-1000 power project from Kyrgyzstan to Pakistan, Afghanistan will earn $70 million dollars annually.

The spokesperson said: "We ask the World Bank to act as quickly as possible to start this project so that it can be operational in a short time."

According to Maiwandi, Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat is ready to cooperate with the World Bank to implement the CASA-1000 power project in Afghanistan as soon as possible.
Hekmatullah Maiwandi added: "Electricity will be transferred from Kyrgyzstan to Pakistan, and this is not only for Afghanistan but an important project for the entire region."

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Energy and Industry of Kyrgyzstan announced a plan based on which this country and Tajikistan will start exporting electricity to Pakistan through Afghanistan in 2025.

The former head of DABS said the CASA-1000 project is considered one of the important regional projects, where Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are energy exporters, Afghanistan plays the role of electricity transit, and Pakistan is the buyer of this energy.

Amanullah Ghalib, former head of Breshna Company, said: "CASA-1000 is a regional project that, as its name suggests, connects Central Asia to South Asia, and '1000' means that 1000 megawatts of electricity will be transferred."

Recently, some media in Central Asian countries reported that Kyrgyzstan may export 1.25 billion kilowatts of electricity to South Asia through the CASA-1000 project.
