contents Introduction MEW /Programs/Projects in Energy Sector Proposed mechanism common sense of Climate change Recommendations

Ministry of Energy and Water(MEW) Policy points on Climate change Currently, Afghanistan is heavily dependent on power imports. This exposes the country to significant uncertainties and tariff risks, when the PPAs with the neighbouring countries come up for renewal every year. The domestic generation capacity in the country is only about 600 MW, which is sufficient to meet only 30% of the total demand of the grid connected consumers. Remaining 70% demand is met by importing power from neighbouring countries namely Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Iran costing Afghanistan approximately USD 220 Million (2016-2017)3. The major issue is that clean energy play important role and hence MEW policy emphasizes on Clean energy and domestic generation from Hydro, Solar, Wind, Geothermal, biomas and bio-gas resources . It could contribute to the protected and clean environment and a lovely globe at large scale.

MEW Vision: Provision and management of Energy and water (sustainable, reliable & affordable) for all Afghans MEW WATER AND ENERGY SECTORS INFRASTRATURE PROGRAMS: Energy sector Water sector Power generation Power Transmission Power Distribution Water Resources Development. Rehabilitation/Modernization of existing irrigation schemes Flood Management and River Bank Protection.

Recommendations Fostering knowledge networks for climate adaptation and capacity building of the involved ministries, entities and authorities , Joint cooperation with Energy sector Ministries especially MEW. Policy Makers support for Fostering knowledge networks for climate adaptation More support to the Community‐based disaster preparedness and climate adaptation Program lead by MAIL local capacity‐building in the Rural areas Support of MEW programs for REN Energy through PPP enhancement . Supporting ECO,ISA ,IRENA and Clean Energy Organizations around the world Full implementation of Paris treaty on Climate change and global warming for keeping the world below 2 C Celsius. Implementing the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) plans, Standardization of all Power and Energy sector’s technologies and DSM operations Forestation of the mountainous Areas of the country.
