The funds will be used to build a solar plant in Naghlu, in the capital Kabul’s Surobi district. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is to provide $44.7m of financing for a 20 MW grid-connected solar facility near Kabul in Afghanistan. Should the project be successful, the plant could be expanded to 40 MW. In addition to providing clean energy and reducing carbon emissions, this new solar-powered grid will also help Afghanistan meet its growing demand for electricity.
