Deputy Minister of Ministry of Energy & Water says “ according to our estimation Afghanistan has more than Two Hundred Thousand Megawatt Solar Energy & more than sixty Hundred Thousand megawatt Wind Energy, So it ‘s up to those who want to do investment in Afghanistan in the mentioned sections ” he added “ I am sure if we do investment in these sectors Afghanistan will get more energy from which we can even export/sell to our neighbors countries“.
It is so easy for those companies to get energy from Sun and wind, who want to do investment in this field, but the solar energy products are very high and the local companies want help and support of the government in this regard.

At this stage Afghanistan needs less than five hundred thousand megawatt of electricity and if these existing resources are utilized correctly then Afghanistan will be the biggest Energy exporter to the neighbor countries as well.
