Afghanistan’s minister for energy and water Muhammad Ismail Hana is expected to visit Dushanbe in late July to agree an increase in Tajik electricity supplies. Tajikistan currently sells around 200,000 kilowatt-hours a day to its neighbour at two US cents per kWh.



This spring, the two countries agreed to lay new electricity transmission lines through northern Afghanistan to export power to Iran.
