Power Sector Master Plan

Summary

The technical assistance (TA) is intended to support the Government of Afghanistan in identifying power sector deficiencies and systematically prioritizing the sector's rehabilitation needs.

Expected Outcome

The TA will also improve the strategic and investment planning capacities of the Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW) to a level at which MEW can analyze Afghanistan’s power sector needs without the help of a third party.

Expected Outputs

A power sector master plan is prepared with the following features:  demand/supply growth projection in major load centers, generation strategy considering both indigenous and foreign sources of power supply, and transmission network development plan for interconnecting generation facilities and load centers. MEW staff were also trained to update the master plan and keep it relevant.
