The Taliban-run electricity company, Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS), said on Monday that power imports from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan were disrupted following Sunday night’s earthquake in northern Afghanistan.
DABS said transmission lines supplying electricity from the two countries were damaged during the quake, and technical teams have been deployed to restore the connection.
The company reported that power supply has been affected in Kabul, Baghlan, Parwan, Panjshir, Kapisa, Logar, Paktia, Ghazni, and Maidan Wardak provinces.
Afghanistan relies heavily on imported energy due to limited domestic production. More than 75 per cent of the country’s electricity is imported from neighbouring countries, primarily Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
