Get StartedEnergy is one of the most important foundation in growth of a city. Kabul’s demand is 620 MW , but the government can only provide 363.5 MW, and its conventional electrical system is associated with problems like limited interaction, non- or one-way communication, limited power flow control, and cas-cading outages.
Kabul has 363.6 MW (approximately 243.5 MW from Uzbekistan, 70 MW from hydro energy and 50 MW from thermal energy) to meet 620 MW in demand, a shortage of 256.5 MW. 638,607 customers are con-nected to a traditional grid and its limitations . Figure 2. Energy demand and facilities of Kabul . 3.2. Environment 3.3. ICT network
Wind Energy: Kabul experiences prevailing winds from the northwest direction with average speeds between 3.1 and 5.4 m/s . It is esti-mated that Kabul has 41 MW wind capacity . Based on the geography and the strategic devel-opment areas in Kabul, two sites are considered ideal for wind energy development.
Public transportation system A public transportation system in the Kabul has been proposed using electric buses at a cost of about $100,000 each. Funding for 10 cars for each of the 22 districts of Kabul would cost $22 million. Electric vehicle: City residents can be encouraged to use electric vehicles instead of diesel and petrol cars.
Smart electricity grids connect flexible electricity demand such as heat pump electric vehicles to in-termittent renewable sources such as solar and wind. Smart thermal grids connect the electricity and heating sectors, using thermal storage for addi-tional flexibility and recycling heat losses in the en-ergy system.
The cost of electric vehicles is similar to die-sel/petrol cars but without problematic emissions and savings of energy and money. In Kabul, one in every 10 people owns a private car, and the cost to convert 370,577 fuel cars to electric vehicles would cost about $3 billion .
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Large-scale battery storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 30-35%.
