Since regaining power in August 2021, the Islamic Emirate has undertaken substantial initiatives in various sectors to boost development in the country. For instance, one of these initiatives is the solar power endeavor in the Naghlu area of Surobi District in Kabul Province.
The Ministry of Water and Energy recently launched the 10-megawatt (MW) solar power project. The project received financial backing from the private sector and is now fully operational.
The project has a generation capacity of 10 MW. It aims to enhance domestic electricity production. Additionally, it seeks to leverage readily available resources for power generation and attract further investments.
Afghan engineers conducted the survey and design phases. The private firm Aufi Bahram implemented the project over a 10-month period. The Ministry of Water and Energy supervised the project, which cost over $7.6 million in total.

The project is expected to create significant social and economic benefits, including job opportunities for skilled and unskilled labor.
The Naghlu solar power project stands as a successful model for future initiatives of its kind across Afghanistan and not only facilitates greater investment but also plays a vital role in advancing Afghanistan toward long-term economic self-sufficiency.
