The government is working on a number of fronts to stimulate economic activity through its own initiatives and in partnership with International Development Organizations but will continue to be challenged in the near and medium term as a growing population seeks jobs and business opportunities. One of the initiatives that the Government of Afghanistan (GoA) has identified is to capitalize on its wealth of Renewable Energy (RE) resources with a view to both increasing the delivery of electricity services to the population and developing domestic business opportunities both directly linked to RE technology and linked to improved access to reasonably priced electricity. The objective of this paper is to review the potential viability of RE as part of the country’s electricity supply plan, and at the same time to identify issues that might hinder or even derail the process. 2018-08-21T15:34:09Z 2018-08-21T15:34:09Z 2018-01-26 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/352991530527393098/Afghanistan-renewable-energy-development-issues-and-options http://hdl.handle.net/10986/30270 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Energy Study Economic & Sector Work South Asia Afghanistan
