Besides, solar energy accounts for over two-thirds of Afghanistan's total renewable energy potential of over 300,000 megawatts (MW). Given its approximately three hundred sunny days per year, Afghanistan is well-positioned to harness solar power. Afghanistan's solar energy potential is comparable to that of four sunbelt states in the United States.
Given its approximately three hundred sunny days per year, Afghanistan is well-positioned to harness solar power. Afghanistan's solar energy potential is comparable to that of four sunbelt states in the United States. Investment in renewable energy will enhance the country's energy independence and will significantly boost industry and commerce.
Afghanistan is rich in energy resources, both fossil fuel based and renewables. However, it still depends heavily on imported electricity and fuels and has one of the lowest per capita consumption of electricity in the world. Lack of domestic generation remains the key challenge for energy security and energy access in Afghanistan.
Focussing on renewables for domestic power generation, would ensure power generation and grid stability for its current and future energy needs, and would thus help Afghanistan achieve energy security.
Afghanistan offers world-class solar potential and an urgent need for decentralized energy access. From mountain villages in Bamyan to agriculture centers in Nangarhar, solar energy is vital to
