Central Asian countries will supply electricity to Afghanistan
Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan will continue to supply electricity to Afghanistan despite the difficult political situation in the country
On December 17th 2024 an agreement was signed in Uzbekistan between Abdul Bari Omar, acting CEO of Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) energy company, and Zhakhongir Obidjonov, chairman of the board of Uzbek company “Uzenergosotish”. The document provides for the continuation of electricity exports to Afghanistan until the end of 2025. The parties did not disclose details of the contract, including the volume of supplies and their value.
Earlier, on December 7th , the Taliban concluded a similar agreement with Turkmenistan, and in late November with Tajikistan, the source recalled.
According to the Amu TV channel, which refers to the Taliban-controlled Ministry of Energy and Water Resources of Afghanistan, the country needs 1,500 MW of electricity every day. About 720 MW of this amount is imported from neighboring countries, while Afghanistan generates the rest on its own.
These contracts underscore Central Asia’s key role in supporting Afghanistan’s energy stability despite international sanctions and limited contact with the current regime.Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan will continue to supply electricity to Afghanistan despite the difficult political situation in the country
