Developing water, solar and wind power could reduce Afghanistan''s import of electricity from abroad and help it emerge a regional renewable energy hub.

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.
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.
Overall, it could produce 23 gigawatts (GW) from hydro, 67 GW from wind, and a staggering 220 GW from solar resources. With these resources, Afghanistan has the potential not only to meet its own energy demands but also to export surplus energy to other South Asian nations.
In addition to the financial crisis, over 75% of Afghanistan's electricity is still supplied by the neighboring countries-Central Asia and Iran. The utility cannot pay the regional power suppliers due to the current sanction on the country's banking system.
Most rural areas in Afghanistan, accounting for 75 % of the population, are not connected to the grid. The power supply is limited to self-made solar PV rooftop systems, which cannot be used for productive use to support economic activities.
The risk that the neighboring countries may cut the power supply to Afghanistan is imminent. If this happens, it will deepen the current crisis and lead to a collapse of almost all remaining public services.
