Kabul residents complained about the increase in power outages. 

They ask the officials of Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) to solve the electricity problem in the capital.

 Hamidullah, a resident of Kabul, said: "Before 6 or 7 PM, the electricity is cut off. It is reconnected between 10 to 11:30 PM and then cut off again near prayer time." 

Another Kabul resident, Imran, said: "In 24 hours, we only have electricity for 6 to 7 hours. Our request is that attention should be given to this matter. The weather is hot, and they should understand the people's problems."

Meanwhile, (DABS) said that they have plans to reduce power outages in the capital.

The operational head of Breshna Company said they currently provide nearly 14 hours of electricity for industrialists and about 10 to 12 hours for the residents of Kabul.

DABS official Safiullah Ahmadzai said: "One of the projects that we are about to inaugurate is the 10-megawatt Naghlu solar power project, which has been invested by one of the investors and will be operational in a month."

 Some economic experts believe that investment in coal mines and water resources can have a positive impact on the country's economy.

Abdul Zahoor Madber, an economic expert, said: "We have 85 billion cubic meters of water in 180 rivers, in most of which we can build dams and produce 23,000 megawatts of electricity. We have 300 days of sunshine. Water resources are also accessible in our country. We have coal, and the more we invest, the more it can directly positively affect the country's economy." 

Meanwhile, Afghanistan imports eighty percent of its electricity, which amounts to about 760 megawatts, from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Iran.
