KABUL, Finance Minister Eklil Hakimi on Sunday signed a grant agreement worth $44.76 million with the CEO of the Asian Development Bank Samuel Tumiwa for the construction of the first solar power plant.
“Afghanistan needs a source of sustainable energy. In this regard, the solar-powered energy offers promise in Afghanistan to meet the needs of the communities. Further, considering 300 sunny days per year with free solar irradiation to generate solar power, it makes Afghanistan an attractive country for implementing solar power projects,” said H.E . . .
