Powering Change: How Solar Energy is
By replacing diesel generators with solar power, these interventions are improving air quality, lowering energy costs, and making
Energy is one of the most important foundation in growth of a city. Kabul's demand is 620 MW, but the government can only provide 363.5 MW, and its conventional electrical system is associated with problems like limited interaction, non- or one-way communication, limited power flow control, and cas-cading outages.
Kabul has 363.6 MW (approximately 243.5 MW from Uzbekistan, 70 MW from hydro energy and 50 MW from thermal energy) to meet 620 MW in demand, a shortage of 256.5 MW. 638,607 customers are con-nected to a traditional grid and its limitations .

Wind Energy: Kabul experiences prevailing winds from the northwest direction with average speeds between 3.1 and 5.4 m/s . It is esti-mated that Kabul has 41 MW wind capacity . Based on the geography and the strategic devel-opment areas in Kabul, two sites are considered ideal for wind energy development.
The cost of electric vehicles is similar to die-sel/petrol cars but without problematic emissions and savings of energy and money. In Kabul, one in every 10 people owns a private car, and the cost to convert 370,577 fuel cars to electric vehicles would cost about $3 billion .
