The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has announced that Afghanistan Energy Week 2026 has begun in Kabul.
The agency said on Monday, November 9, that the two-day event is being held in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme and the Taliban’s Chamber of Commerce and Investment.
The UNDP added that representatives of the private sector, investors, financial institutions and development partners are also attending the event.
According to the agency, participants will discuss investment opportunities, energy solutions and areas of cooperation in Afghanistan’s energy sector.
Afghanistan imports more than 80 percent of its electricity needs from neighboring countries.
A lack of electricity generation and transmission infrastructure is considered one of the major challenges to ensuring energy supply in the country.
