Energy Sector Overview • Existing Energy Infrastructure Severely Damaged Constraining Afghanistan Economic Development • Access to power about 25% of Population • Rural Areas Remain Practically Unconnected • Hydropower is Traditional Source • Estimated potential 800MW • Installed capacity 304MW • Operating Capacity 183MW • Source SARI/Energy
Primary Sources of Electricity • Historically • Primarily Hydropower Generating over 54% of the Total • Balance was Thermal, Primarily Coal and Gas • Facilities Suffered Extensive War Damage • Current Supply • Primarily Hydropower and Imported • Diesel, Thermal • Planned Supply • Imported Thru Expanded Transmission System • Gas Supply – Sheberghan Project • Excess Power into NEPS Transmission System • Generation -Primarily Hyro Based on Analysis of SAR/Energy Data
Power Sector Governance • Ministry Energy and Water • Development of Sector • Donor project implementation • Regulation of tariffs • Inter-Ministerial Committee on Energy • Donor coordination forum • Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) • State-owned National Electricity Company • Responsible for operation of Generation, Transmission, Distribution • Launched in 2009 as corporatized entity, was formerly part of MEW • Role is still evolving • USAID provides management assistance to DABS (Tetra Tech, LB/B&V) • Focus on distribution reform (Kabul, Kandahar)
Transmission Overview • War Damaged Transmission System • Disconnected – Fragmented • Metering of Power Supply Inadequate • Since 2002 – Key Activities • Pul-e-Khumri-Chimtala Transmission Line to connect Kabul at 110 • Hairatan-Mazar-e-Sharif-Pul-e-Power Grid • Kajaki-Kandahar HV Transmission Line under SEPS • Prioritized Efforts – Additional System Expansion, Rehabilitation, Operation, Maintenance and Control Summary of SARI/Energy Information

Proposed Law on Electricity Services • Electricity Service Providers Must be Licensed • Electricity Services that Require a License • Generating Units or Stations > 500kW • Operation of HV Transmission System • Operation of Electric Distribution System > 500 Customers • Operation in a Electricity Market at Wholesale • Supply or Trade of Electricity w/sales > 2% of Total Market • License Term 25 Years • License Fees to be Determined by AERA • Distribution License may be Required for Each Province Served. • Provision allows IPP and Others to Provide Service to Customers
Electricity Tariffs in Kabul • Government, Commercial & Un-Registered Industrial $0.20/kWh • Registered Industrial $0.12/kWh • Residential • 0-150 kWh/month $0.03/kWh • 151-350 kWh/month $0.08/kWh • 351 + kWh/month $0.12/kWh • Other $0.20/kWh
DABS Asks that REMAP Consider: • Studies to help DABS learn what investments are required to get synchronized with Uzbekistan. Parallel operation would enable expanded imports, and improved reliability. • Training in how dispatch is being done in northern countries (Uzbekistan) so DABS can do likewise. • Help in expanding trade with Turkmenistan. DABS finds them most interesting since they can offer thermal power, whereas Tajikistan can offer only hydro and is not firm.
