How much electricity does Afghanistan use?
Afghanistan remains in the lowest 5% of electricity use globally, with only 30% of the population connected to the grid. Domestic capacity is only 520 megawatts (MW); and imports from Iran, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan account for 80% of the power supply.
How many solar homes have been installed in Afghanistan?
Over 100,000 (over 650 Villages) solar home systems (SHSs) have been installed in various parts of the country. An estimated 300 small biogas digesters have been installed in different parts of Afghanistan. Prospects of low to medium temperature geothermal resources are widespread all over Afghanistan.
How much energy is generated from hydropower in Afghanistan?
Since it is not possible to clearly determine the amount of generated energy, all energy from hydropower is displayed separately. In 2021, renewable energy accounted for around 20.0 percent of actual total consumption in Afghanistan. The following chart shows the percentage share from 1990 to 2021:
