Afghanistan remains heavily dependent on imported electricity, with a significant share of its power supplied by neighboring countries including Iran, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan.
TASS reported that Kabul is also prepared to cooperate with Moscow in the extraction of mineral resources.
Technical assessments are also planned in various provinces to evaluate the potential for increased electricity generation from existing water resources.
Abdul Bari Omar, chief executive officer of Afghanistan’s national power utility (Breshna), made the announcement following talks with a Turkmen delegation, according to Trend.
Discussions focused on the development of high-voltage transmission lines and substations in Afghanistan, with emphasis on accelerating their completion.
Once operational, the pipeline is expected to boost regional connectivity, generate transit revenues for Afghanistan, and strengthen energy cooperation across South and Central Asia.
