Rehabilitate 94 MW of hydropower capacity by 2008 against a 2006 baseline

Deploy 10 MW of Wind Power in by 2011, then 50 MW in 5-10 years by 2016

target for deploying 4500 - 5000 MW of RE capacity by 2032, which is equivalent of 95% of the total energy mix of 5000 -6000 MW

Strengthened resilience of rural communities’ livelihoods to climate risks and variability in selected provinces in Afghanistan

To promote and support innovative and scalable initiatives, and foster multistakeholder partnerships at the local level to tackle global environmental issues in priority landscapes and seascapes

Afghanistan faces severe energy shortages due to an ailing energy infrastructure, high dependency on diesel and kerosene fuels, and weak power sector policy and regulatory frameworks. With no connection to the electricity grid, most rural communities depend on traditional biomass for cooking and heating - which aggravates indoor air pollution, accelerates deforestation, and leads to carbon emissions.

This project is designed to kick-start a renewable energy market in rural Afghanistan. It will lay the necessary groundwork for the development of a mini-grid energy sector.  This will be done by focusing on both public and private sector financing.  Investments will help set up three solar mini-grids, with the intention to stimulate the further building of similar mini-grids in the future.  The project is targeted at encouraging private sector engagement, while ensuring that the future development of mini-grids incorporates social and environmental considerations.
