Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS), the country's national power utility company, has announced that electricity imports from Uzbekistan have decreased by 50 percent due to technical issues.According to the company's officials, reduction in supplies has increased power outages in Samangan, Parwan, Kapisa, Panjshir, Nangarhar, Laghman, Ghazni, Maidan Wardak, Logar, Paktia and Khost provinces.The only reason for the change in the electricity situation is that a technical problem has occurred in the territory of Uzbekistan, and this problem has caused the provinces of the electricity transmission route, including Kabul, to face problems.
We are in contact with them, and this issue will be resolved soon,& said Hikmatullah Maiwandi, the spokesperson of DABS.Last winter, Uzbekistan also reduced electricity exports to Afghanistan due to technical issues.The officials of the Islamic Emirate want Uzbekistan to resolve their technical problems so that the people of Afghanistan do not face a shortage of electricity.
They emphasize that they have even paid Uzbekistan in advance for electricity.We have made advance payments.
Their dues have been cleared.
They have promised that they will try to increase electricity.
We have no problem so far.
In the future too, our electricity officials will pay attention to the needs of the people so that they do not face problems and our cities will not be left without electricity,& said Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate.Power outages usually increase in Afghanistan during winter when the weather gets cold and consumption rises.IEA says that it aims to make Afghanistan self-reliant on electricity.The post Uzbekistan's electricity exports to Afghanistan drop 50% due to technical issues first appeared on Ariana News.
