Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, marked a significant milestone as he inaugurated a 10-megawatt solar power generation project in the Sarobi district of Kabul. The ceremony witnessed the presence of esteemed dignitaries, including Mullah Abdul Latif Mansoor, Acting Minister of Water and Energy. During his address at the ceremony, Honorable Mullah Baradar Akhund emphasized that Afghanistan is the shared homeland of all Afghans, representing their dignity, identity, and unity. He highlighted the Islamic Emirate's commitment to serving its people, distinguishing it from previous administrations. Furthermore, Deputy Prime Minister Mullah Baradar Akhund underscored the paramount importance of industry for a robust economy and recognized electricity as the cornerstone of industrial development. He reaffirmed the Islamic Emirate's dedication to prioritizing domestic electricity production and extended an invitation to both local and international investors to participate in this endeavor. Mullah Baradar Akhund stated, "In continuation of these efforts, today marks the commencement of the 10-megawatt solar power generation project. While this project may appear modest in terms of electricity production, it holds immense significance in our journey toward self-sufficiency. It signifies our liberation from the dependency on 10 megawatts in achieving self-reliance." In closing, Mullah Baradar Akhund revealed the Islamic Emirate's decision to entrust the contract for the completion of the next 500-kilovolt transmission line project from Turkmenistan to the Afghan Investment Company in exchange for a mining concession. This initiative is expected to facilitate the transfer of hundreds of megawatts of electricity to Afghanistan, resulting in annual savings of $200 million. He once again extended a fervent call to domestic and foreign investors, urging them to actively participate in the reconstruction of Afghanistan and seize the burgeoning economic opportunities taking shape. The 10-megawatt solar power generation project, backed by the private sector and supported by the Islamic Emirate, is poised for completion within a year, requiring an investment of approximately 700 million Afghanis.
