AFGHAN PROVINCE OF HERAT TO ACCESS POWER FROM IRAN

HERAT CITY, Sep 30, 2005 (AsiaPulse via COMTEX) -- More than 20,000 families in Afghanistan's Kuhsan district of the western Herat province will gain access to electricity in the next three months.
The project, under which power will be supplied to the district from the Tabiat city of the neighbouring Iran, will cost US$337,000.

Director of the power department Nisar Ahmad Faizi told Pajhwok Afghan News they would erect 280 electricity poles.

He added the project also included installation of ten transformers in the district.

Abdul Karim Niamati, a resident of the district said they were paying rates as high as 20 afghanis (46 US cents) per kilowatt at present.

If the project was materialised, they would pay only two afghanis per kilowatt, he hoped.

It merits a mention here that people living in the rural areas have no access to electricity in Afghanistan as infrastructure has been shattered by years of war.
