Afghanistan clears two-year electricity supply debt to Uzbekistan
The Afghan power company Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat announced the clearance of a $627 million debt for electricity imports to Iran, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, Azernews reports, citing Kun.uz news agency.
The company emphasized that the accumulated debt, spanning more than two years, remained from the previous government and has now been paid in full.
This past December, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan extended their
electricity supply agreement into 2024. The Afghan side requested
that Uzbekistan's Ministry of Energy address infrastructural issues
in the power sector and increase the volume of electricity
supplies.
Energy Minister Jurabek Mirzamakhmudov assured DABS that electricity delivery to Afghanistan would resume following the repair of three power facilities.
