Should Afghanistan focus on renewables?
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.
Does Afghanistan have a lack of domestic energy?
Lack of domestic generation remains the key challenge for energy security and energy access in Afghanistan. Its 30% electrification rate ranks it in the lowest 5% in per capita energy consumption globally.
Is Afghanistan a good country for energy security and energy access?
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.
What are the applications of bio-energy in Afghanistan?
Applications of bio-energy such as waste to energy and biogas units are relevant to Afghanistan. Raw material (municipality waste) is available in the cities which can be utilized in the waste to energy projects for electricity generation. In remote areas, agricultural wastes are available that can act as a raw material for biogas plants.
Can non-concentrating solar thermal systems provide thermal energy in Afghanistan?
Given the requirement of hot-water (and low-grade heat) for domestic, community and commercial purposes throughout the year in Afghanistan, non-concentrating solar thermal systems (flat-plate or ETC) can play a critical role in providing thermal energy to these applications. Accordingly, Roadmap suggests a total target of 60 MW under this category
How much power will Afghanistan have by the end of Stage 1?
As per the Roadmap, Afghanistan’s power generation capacity from domestic RE resources would reach 850 MW by the end of Stage 1, which would potentially replace around 40% of imports at the current levels, avoiding drain of foreign exchange that is required to finance energy imports.
