The country’s state-run power company, Da Afghan Breshna Sherkat (DABS), signed an investment agreement with Sadaf Energy, a company backed by investors from Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, aimed at expanding electricity production and strengthening the capacity of Afghan energy engineers.
According to a statement from DABS, the agreement was signed by Dr. Abdul Bari Omar, Chief Executive Officer of the company, and Alisher, a representative of Sadaf Energy. The partnership will focus on building new electricity generation infrastructure and offering technical training to local engineers.
Dr. Omar welcomed the agreement and reassured the investor that Afghanistan has now created a more conducive environment for energy-sector investment. “There are reliable conditions for launching power generation projects in Afghanistan. We encourage international partners to invest with confidence,” he said during the signing ceremony.
This latest agreement comes on the heels of several other energy-focused deals DABS has recently secured, including partnerships with Turkish and Czech firms. Construction is already underway on some of those projects as part of the country’s broader push to reduce its dependency on imported electricity and strengthen national infrastructure.
