According to Amac News: Abdul Bari Omar, acting head of the Afghanistan Electricity Company (Breshna), said two agreements, each with a capacity of 100 MW, were related to solar energy and another agreement was signed to generate 40 MW of electricity from coal in the capital.
He said Afghanistan currently has the capacity to generate 222,000 MW of solar electricity, 24,000 MW of hydropower, 67,000 MW of wind electricity, 4,000 MW of electricity from waste and thousands of MW of electricity from coal and gas.
According to Omar, the company is trying to take effective steps to connect electricity across Afghanistan and has distributed electricity to 400,000 new customers in the past three years.
The CEO of the Afghan Electricity Company (Breshna) said that Afghanistan's important electricity needs will be met within the next two years and called on national and international organizations to take practical steps to invest in electricity generation in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan has been importing electricity for many years, and currently 80 percent of its electricity is purchased from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Iran.
 Afghanistan now generates 20 percent of its electricity from domestic sources.
