[PDF Version]The energy situation in Afghanistan is limited and heavily dependent on fossil fuels and imported electricity. Due to rapid population growth and progress in the industry, services, and agriculture sectors, the existing energy sources are not currently meeting the energy needs of the country.
Energy planning and solar plant site selections are vital strategic decisions and one of the most complex executive challenges in the interconnected procedures. It is essential to study the potential renewable energy sources in Afghanistan to select the most sustainable sites for solar power production in populated cities.
Solar power, specifically solar photovoltaic (PV), has the potential to significantly contribute to improving energy security in Afghanistan and ensuring energy sustainability. It holds both theoretical and practical potential, as well as economic viability, to become the leading source of energy in the country.
Solar energy is a renewable energy source that uses the light and heat of the sun to produce electrical or thermal energy. It is clean and cheap energy that is accessible almost anywhere in the world. In Afghanistan, solar energy has traditionally been used for water heating.
Roughly, 89% of electricity in Afghanistan is consumed by households. For instance, in the capital Kabul, 95 % of the population usually has access to electricity, while in Zabol province the access rate is only 37%.
The southern and western provinces of Afghanistan, including Helmand, Kandahar, Herat, Farah, and Nimroz, have the highest solar power potential in the country, with an overall capacity of 142.568 MW or 64% of the total potential. The distribution of solar resources in Afghanistan indicates that these provinces have the capacity for installing PV technology.
