Cable faces severe power outages
Afghanistan is facing a severe electricity crisis that affects all sectors, as frequent power outages lead to decreased production and higher costs. The country relies heavily on importing electricity from neighboring nations, with local generation falling far short of demand. This forces residents and business owners to depend on private generators. Extended outage periods, sometimes up to 15 hours daily, disrupt production and increase expenses, especially in the industrial and small commercial sectors, directly impacting household income and business continuity. The government is working to implement projects to increase domestic production and develop infrastructure, including investing around $10 billion in renewable energy projects. However, it will take a long time for these initiatives to produce noticeable improvements in the stability of power supplies.
