      2011 Clean Energy Investments - Asian Development Bank

      Central and West Asia Department

      Grant numbers: 0280/0281/0282-AFG

      Project numbers: 42094-04/42094-09

      MFF—Energy Sector Development Investment Program Project 3 (formerly MFF—Energy Sector Enhancement Investment Program Project III)

      Rationale

      The access to reliable power supply is severely limited in Gereshk, Afghanistan. Of the 7,500 households within the 6 km radius of the town center in Gereshk District, only 2,500 have connections to the local electricity distribution system. Even for those connected to the electricity network experience chronic power outages during morning and evening peak hours. Power shortage is a critical impediment in promoting licit private sector development, ensuring quality public services, and improving living conditions in Gereshk.

      The limited access to reliable power is attributed to the power infrastructure deficiency. Gereshk relies on an island electrical grid with power generated predominantly by an old and damaged run-of-river type hydro power plant. The hydro power plant has an installed capacity of 3.2 MW, but operates sub-optimally with 2 MW. The peak demand is estimated at 8 MW. The distribution network consists of a combination of 40 kV and 3.3 kV system, which is not efficient and not capable of distributing any increase in the generated output. Further, the distribution network is in a poor state of repair with problems on support structures, transformers, substations and low voltage customer connections. Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) does not have the capacity nor resources to rehabilitate the infrastructure on its own.

      Description

      The project will rehabilitate the Gereshk Hydropower Plant and upgrade the distribution network. The project will also connect more end-users to the power grid in the Gereshk town center with more efficient distribution network.

      Total grant amount: $43 million (ADF)/$20 million (UK)/$12.4 million (Denmark)

      Clean energy investment: $27.42 million

      Project category: Renewable Energy

      Renewable energy generation: 18.92 gigawatt-hours/year

      Greenhouse gas emissions reduction: 15,289 tCO2/year

      Board approval: 22 Dec 2011

      Project life: 30 years
