Preference to the Importing of Power in Medium Term Access to cheaper energy in the range of (currently 2 to 6 US cent Per KWh ) Availability of surplus power in neighboring country to be accessed Purchasing power from neighboring countries is cheaper than the domestic energy sources > Hydro Power 4.6 US cent per KWh > Thermal Power 32 US cent per KWh > Diesel Gen-sets 20 US cent per KWh 33
Long Term Planning HPP Construction: Baghdara (nominally 220 MW) Surobi 2 (nominally 180 MW) Kajakai 2 (nominally 100 MW) Specification of Kukcha River potential Specification of Kunar River potential Thermal Plant - Construction of coal fired thermal Power Plants 34
Sources of Electrical Power in Afghanistan Afghanistan main sources of Power are as follows : Hydro Natural gas Petroleum Coal Renewable Energy 35
