Summary This Energy Sector Status Report for the period July September 2010 reports on the status of development activities for the North East Power System (NEPS), South East Power System (SEPS), Kabul City System, and Renewable Energy and Rural Electrification throughout Afghanistan. There remains a special focus at this juncture in developing and executing plans to improve the supply of electricity to Bamyan, Badghis, Ghazni, Helmand, Kandahar, Kapisa, Khost, Logar, Paktia, Paktika, Panjshir, Parwan, Uruzgan, Wardak, and Zabul Provinces. The objective is to enhance potential employment (job creation) and quality of life improvement in the regions, including the assessment of the potential to integrate as a system the NEPS and SEPS to expand electric power supply options to the southern provinces from Kabul to Helmand. It is expected that UNESCO will name Ghazni as an Islamic Culture World Heritage Site by 2013. This July September 2010 Energy Sector Status Report was prepared by the Inter-Ministerial Commission for Energy (ICE) Secretariat based on information provided by representatives of the Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Energy and Water, Ministry of Mines, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Urban Development, and Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development, as well as donor organizations ADB, GoI, ISDB, KfW Development Bank and GTZ Technical Cooperation (Germany), USAID, and the World Bank, and the consultants and contractors that support them. The ICE Secretariat is funded by USAID. The objective of this quarterly report is to provide information for the respective reporting period on the ongoing status of Energy Sector development. It is directed to communicating to all interested parties issues impacting the Afghanistan Energy Sector development plans and schedules for the collective attention of all parties to insure the timely coordinated development of the Afghanistan Energy Sector and the resolution of schedule concerns and funding gaps identified herein. The preparation of this report relies upon the information and cooperation provided by the Ministries of the ICE and all donors, contractors and project management companies involved in Afghanistan Energy Sector development.

ENERGY SECTOR STATUS SUMMARY: The objective of the ICE Secretariat is to help insure coordinated development of the Afghanistan Energy Sector including the NEPS, SEPS, Kabul City System, and Renewable Energy and Rural Electrification. HE Deputy Minister of Energy reported that the Draft Electricity Law, drafted by MEW with the help of USAID, is very important for Independent Power Producers (IPP) as it establishes the legal framework for private investors to support Afghanistans energy infrastructure. The MEW Director of Planning has also reported that the draft law is under discussion within a DABS/MEW working group which is finalizing the language prior to translation into English. The draft is being circulated to members of the ICE for comments prior to submission to the Ministry of Justice. ADB has reported that security issues remain a concern and may be exacerbated by the recent Presidential Decree # 62 to eliminate private security companies. Security concerns could have a significant impact on projects implementation and schedule. USAID noted that the GIRoA must find ways to provide comfort to economic development implementers in Afghanistan regarding security. USAID agrees in principle with the recent Presidential Decree to eliminate private security companies and replace them with MoI security forces, but not with the timing proposed for the replacement. If contractors do not feel secure, then they may leave Afghanistan, which will have a significant effect on the economic development of Afghanistan as projects underway or proposed may not reach fruition. - Regarding the potential effects of the Presidential Decree # 62, SMEC International indicated that it will have difficulty attracting and keeping staff thus impacting their ability to accomplish work. SMEC International noted that Afghanistan needs electricity now, and needs skills provided by foreign workers to do the work and train Afghan staff to do the work in the future. Recognizing the existence of problems with private security companies, SMEC International recommended a gradual withdrawal of private security companies until 2014 to minimize the impact of the Presidential Decree on Energy Sector Projects. - USAID noted that it provides for many power, roadway and water projects and has a good working relationship with ANA and ANP. USAID noted that six contractors doing work for them have expressed deep and grave concerns with the Presidential Decree and could demobilize from Afghanistan due to perceived increase in security risk. USAID supported the notion of a more measured phasing in the transition from private security companies to the MoI. ICE donors and their implementers and MEW have reported continued problems with customs duties, exemptions, and customs clearance. In addition, problems in obtaining Afghanistan visas for contractors coming to work in Afghanistan; tax issues; land ownership and title issues for the various projects have arisen. Rights-of-Way for projects are a problem for both donors and MEW; while work stoppage by various authorities and municipal officers, and confiscation of equipment has created constraints to efficient implementation. The limited depth in the capacity of MEW and DABS and limited depth in the capacity of donor implementers that are trying to get qualified people to work in Afghanistan is also impacting project completion and cost. Lastly, inadequately specified electrical standards limit a uniform approach by donors and the GIRoA which impact the capability of all sector participants to bring about reasonable resolutions. These issues are affecting the timely completion and cost of Energy Sector projects. - MEW reported that the limited depth of donor implementers is also affecting the quality of work performed and training of Afghan staff. MEW is concerned that good companies and professionals do not want to come to Afghanistan. The Ministry of Mines (MoM) has been working with ADB and USAID to clear issues regarding the Sheberghan gas wells development and potential 150 MW Thermal

Power Plant (TPP) with associated switchyard, substation, transmission and MV / LV distribution. The MoM is also developing a new Energy Policy and has engaged the Norwegian Embassy to help draft the new Energy Policy. - USAID has indicated it is working with the MoM on the Sheberghan Gas Wells and TPP development, and will help out as it can, including help with the Northern Fertilizer and Power Plant (NFPP) including replacement of gas pipelines to Mazar-eSharif. The MoM has noted that an agreement to implement the Turkmenistan-AfghanistanPakistan-India (TAPI) Pipeline is imminent. HE President Karzai is expected to sign the inter-governmental agreement in December 2010, preceded by several visits to Delhi and Turkmenistan by the Minister of Mines. The 2003 study of the feasibility of the 860 kilometer pipeline is being updated but all parties intend an aggressive finish date of 2014. Under discussion are remaining issues of transit fee and income tax that will be due Afghanistan. The MoM does not believe that the TAPI Pipeline Project will interfere with its commitment to develop the Sheberghan Gas Fields, and continues to look for funding for the gas sweetening initiative. The Ministry of Mines also noted that Improvement of the fertilizer plant remains a priority and noted a reshuffling of the administration of the plant that presages better management and marketing. USAID has indicated that private investors are due to visit and will be interested to learn of the status of the project. MEW indicated that it has formed a Committee on Standardization with WAPECA to work with ANSA on electrical standards development. MEW has also indicated that more distribution capability is required in Pul-e-Khumri, Mazar-e-Sharif, and in Kabul City. MEW further noted that the French Cooperation in Afghanistan has prepared a report on the Electricity Supply Options and Productive Use in Kapisa Province and Sarobi District, in cooperation with GTZ as part of the Afghan-French-German Energy Initiative. MEW also noted that a long term PPA is needed with Turkmenistan that has not yet been achieved. ADB offered to help with the communications between the GIRoA and Turkmenistan regarding the PPA, and also noted that it was planning to hire Afghanistan and CAR Regional Consultants to help with the interface. ARTF Emergency Power Rehabilitation Project: The implementation of project components in general is progressing well and includes rehabilitation of the 110 kV transmission line from Naghlu to Kabul; new 110 kV transmission lines from Chimtala substation to Kabul North substation; supply and installation work of optical fiber ground wire (OPGW) for the Pul-e-Khumri to Chimtala 220 kV transmission line; and rehabilitation of 110 kV North West substation that have been completed and the facilities are in use and providing the desired services. However, rehabilitation of the Naghlu hydro power project is progressing slowly. Although, the first unit of Naghlu hydropower station was completed in September 2010, completion of each of the remaining three units are expected to take 6-9 months per unit, leading to a delay of 18 to 24 months in completing the project. The delays were mainly due to difficulties in transportation, route selection and appropriate endorsement from the concerned bodies, security, etc. Other major issues that delayed the project include: - The quality of poles being manufactured and used in the distribution networks had emerged as an issue which hampered the progress of work by all contractors, although the issues appears to be resolved now. - Delay in issuing customs clearance letters by Ministry of Finance (MoF) caused delays in bringing equipment to site. This affected the scheduled completion date for all project components. The closing date of the project has been extended by about 2 years until September 30, 2012.

10

ARTF Kabul/Aybak/Mazar-e-Sharif (KAMS) Power Project: While the majority of the project components are on track, there are possibilities that the project may require further extension by a few months from current grant closing date. This is mainly due to the fact that MEW had suspended delivery of poles to all projects. ARTF Afghanistan Power Sector Development Project (APSDP) Phase I: Work on the rehabilitation of distribution works at Pul-e-Khumri (MEW/S-506) and Charikar, Gulbahar and Jabel-es-Seraj (MEW/S-504) is under way. Soil testing is completed and pole foundation design is being done. The MV/LV design has been completed and is under final review. Material and equipment deliveries are in progress. The contractors have completed initial survey and design work on rehabilitation of distribution networks for Pul-e Khumri, Charikar, Gulbahar and Jabul-Seraj. Vendor approval has also been undertaken for major equipment, which is under manufacture for the part quantity cleared for production. The balance quantity would be finalized after final survey, start and finalization of design for 220/110/20 kV Charikar substation. Some material, including the pole assembly plant has been shipped. SMEC International has been appointed as the supervision consultants. The Project is also supporting energy efficiency activities of MEW. The World Bank has agreed in principle that project funds could be used for the Energy Efficiency Unit through involvement in some of the key EE activities in Afghanistan. MEW has prepared a draft plan which has been reviewed by the World Bank, and MEW has been informed to include details of budget and activity schedule. ARTF Afghanistan Power Sector Development Project (APSDP) Phase II: Project documentation is currently under preparation, and submission to the Management Committee is expected in December 2010. The major component of the project is rehabilitation of switchyards associated with Naghlu and Mahipar hydropower plants. Distribution networks of Khenjan, Doshi and Aybak towns which were part of the planned scope of the project are now dropped as they will be funded by KfW Development Bank as part of the Afghan-German Cooperation in the Energy Sector. KfW Development Bank reported that it is committing 207 Million for Energy Sector Projects through CY2013 that includes the Khulm Substation and MV/LV Distribution System (including rehabilitating 110 kV transmission line from Mazar-e-Sharif to Khulm), the Doshi (Khenjan) MV/LV Distribution System, the Aybak Phase II MV / LV Distribution System, the Mazar Phase II MV / LV Distribution System, added MV/LV Distribution Systems work in Districts Marmol and Peer Nakhcheer; Khanabad Units 1and 2 HPP rehabilitation and construction; Pul-e-Khumri Units 1 and 2 HPP rehabilitation; design for a 50 MW Lower Kokcha HPP; and small HPPs in North Afghanistan. This work is in addition to 26 Million for small HPP in North Afghanistan currently ongoing. MEW has signed a consulting contract with Fichtner to design and supervise the mentioned projects. Fichtner will be located in the North, but will set up an office at MEW. Work on the Khulm S/S and MV/LV Distribution, and Aybak and Mazar-e-Sharif MV/LV Distribution is expected to start in Q1, CY 2011. The KfW Development Bank Projects will be part of the NEPS Connected Northern Towns and Communities Programme and the Provincial Electrification Northern Afghanistan (PENA) Programme. GTZ indicated that it will continue to support the ICE Subcommittee for Renewable Energy and Rural Electrification, and additional national electrical standards development in conjunction with ANSA, DABS and MEW. In a presentation to HE President Karzai (September 2010), USAID noted that its Strategic Energy Priorities are: - Equitable expansion of access to energy, including DABS Commercialization to improve collections and financial performance; supporting economic growth and stabilization efforts by providing access to energy in Kabul, the East and North; and exploring options to bring power to Kandahar and Helmand.

11

Capacity Building in energy sector institutions to optimize performance (especially at DABS, MEW, and MoM). - Promote energy security through improved NEPS operations and increased domestic energy production (renewable and thermal generation), expanded power imports, and increased energy conservation and efficiency. A USAID funded Reactive Power Compensation (RPC) System is needed to maintain proper voltage on the NEPS, and to enable increased power imports from Uzbekistan or Tajikistan (that is also interested in selling seasonal power to Afghanistan). The initial work is to install capacitor banks at the Chimtala, Kabul North and Pul-e-Khumri Substations, and a reactor bank at the Naibabad Switching Station. Civil work is proceeding at each of the sites, and all necessary equipment is in transit (capacitors from Karachi, Pakistan and reactors from Ukraine). - Work at Chimtala and Kabul North Substations should be completed by February 2011, enabling 133 MW power imports from Uzbekistan (and up to 177 MW with some voltage stability risk). - Work at Pul-e-Khumri Substation and Naibabad Switching Station should be complete by April to May 2011, enabling 240 MW power imports from Uzbekistan. A USAID funded National Load Control Center (NLCC) Project will provide a turnkey Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System and Communications System for 18 Substations and Generation Plants for the automation of the Afghanistan NEPS Network. The NLCC system will be equipped with equipment needed to enhance the reliability, effectiveness, efficiency, quantification and safety of NEPS operations. Equipment will consist of a SCADA Master Station in Kabul (at the 105 MW Tarakhil DPP Site), Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), and Fiber Optic (OPGW) communications carrier systems. The NLCC main control in Kabul will monitor and control the 220kV and 110kV transmission, RPC, generation and substations. The system will provide automated control to the DABS operators for normal and real time system control and data acquisition for power scheduling and dispatching, load shedding/restoration during contingencies, system maintenance and planned outages, and system security for safe and reliable operation. - The Fiber Optic (OPGW) communications carrier systems are expected to be complete in December 2010. The NEPS OPGW was broken in six places, and funding is being requested from USAID to repair. Construction of the NLCC Building at the 105 MW (Tarakhil) DPP site is ongoing. - The DABS Chief Operating Officer observed the Factory Acceptance Testing of the SCADA System in Istanbul, Turkey. Also, 12 DABS Engineers are in Istanbul for six months of training. The DABS Engineers will undergo six more months of training after the NLCC is installed at the 105 MW (Tarakhil) DPP site. - The SCADA System is being constructed to initially connect 18 nodes (generation stations, substations, and training station) but is capable of serving 60 nodes. Plans are being developed to connect additional generation stations and substations (such as Baghlan and Kunduz). - Project completion is May 2011 with the SCADA System operational by April 15, 2011. Consistent and standardized technical requirements for connection to the NLCC should be included by MEW into future generation and substation design requirements. - Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) requested that USAID consider additional features and hardware for the SCADA system, and has requested additional training. - Rehabilitation of the Naghlu - Sarobi 110 kV Transmission Line is necessary to enhance the robustness of the SCADA system and assure stability of the Kabul City System. The $3 million ROM cost to rehabilitate the Naghlu Sarobi 110 kV Transmission Line is currently a funding gap. MEW requested that USAID consider -

12

funding for the rehabilitation of the Naghlu - Sarobi 110 kV Transmission Line and to reduce the funds for the Kandahar City distribution system accordingly that can be covered by $5 million in MEW funds that is already programmed for Kandahar City MV / LV distribution systems rehabilitation and expansion. The ICE established a Subcommittee for NEPS and SEPS Interconnection to evaluate options to extend electricity supply to Kandahar and other southern provinces. The Subcommittee for NEPS and SEPS Interconnection is chaired by the MEW Director General of Planning. The Terms of Reference for the subcommittee has been established. USAID / AIRP performed an initial load flow assessment which indicates it is possible, with proper reactive power compensation, to get 100 MW to the SEPS via the NEPS. There will be a need to address the transmission restrictions between Pul-eKhumri and Chimtala Substations in order to utilize the NEPS to also serve the SEPS. - USAID is studying options to get NEPS power from Pul-e-Khumri to Kandahar City including the Bamyan Loop, Salang Route, Ring Road and Gardez Loop, outlined by Tetra Tech. It has also been suggested that JICA might want to consider funding a portion of the Gardez Loop, especially the Gardez to Ghazni connection. - USAID is also evaluating contractor proposals for the Durai Junction and Kandahar City Rehabilitation and Expansion Projects. For the Durai Junction Project, USAID needs the land ownership issue resolved. USAID needs a survey and land rights established with the GIRoA and private land owners. USAID also needs a letter from the GIRoA that the land and title for the Durai Junction Project is clearly owned by the GIRoA, and is dedicated for the Durai Junction Project. The land ownership and land rights issues must be resolved before the projects can proceed. MEW stated that it expects the land ownership issues to be resolved in several months. MEW also noted that the GIRoA paid for the land takings for ADB projects and the Botkhak Substation, and that there is a Government Committee (that includes the Ministry of Agriculture) to deal with land takings and compensation. - USAID, assisted by USACE, reported that there are two avenues of approach to solve energy needs in Kandahar. The first is a shorter-term bridge solution that will bring online one 10 MW generator located at the Kandahar Industrial Park in December 2010 and one 10 MW generator located at the former Russian Silo in March 2011. The second, longer-term solution is to operationalize the Kajakai third turbine (Kajakai Unit 2) and upgrade transmission lines to provide 30 MW to Kandahar City. USAID predicted up to 36 months to put into full service the Kajakai Unit 2 hydro-electric plant. - Other on-going strategies to improve electrical access in Kandahar are to revamp one substation and build a new substation and connect each with a 110 kV transmission line. In addition, the distribution system in Kandahar will be rehabilitated and 20,000 new connections will be made in the city over a 2 year period. - USAID has noted that work on Kajakai turbine two is expected to proceed as is repair of transformer infrastructure in Helmand and reconstruction of substations in Durai Junction, Musa Qala, Sangin, Hyderabad, Maiwand and Pushmool. Military security has been briefed and is on board to help ensure contractor safety. - USACE indicated that a NEPS/SEPS Interconnection feasibility study is due in November 2010 with cost estimates. If funding is available, the 35% design phase can proceed. ADB noted that the updated Power Sector Master Plan should be completed by December 2011 and cover requirements for the next 15 20 years. ADB is processing a Technical Assistance (TA) amounting to $1.5 million to update the Power Sector Master Plan for Afghanistan. The Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW) would be the executing agency. ADB has also approved a regional TA for Power Master Plan for Central Asian countries, including Afghanistan. This TA would look into issues related to interconnection among CAREC countries and possible options/solution to address these 13

issues. KfW Development Bank and USAID noted that the updated Afghanistan Power Sector Master Plan is urgently needed, and offered to work with MEW and others on the Master Plan development and completion. ADB also noted that it is working with the GIRoA on the application of MFF Tranche 4 funds, and is looking at the Turkmenistan and Tajikistan connections, despite implementation difficulties. The second circuit of the 220 kV D/CKT Transmission Lines (Surkhan Substation to Afghanistan Border) inside of Uzbekistan has been completed, tested and is ready to use. The Government of India funding for the Charikar 220 kV / 20 kV Substation (with 2 x 16 MVA Distribution Power Transformers) and Doshi / Khenjan Substation (with 1 x 4 MVA Distribution Power Transformer) has been approved. However, after attacks on Indian Nationals in February 2010, Powergrid of India and IRCON International engineers planned for the project were not available in Kabul to start the work. The GOI is working to fast-track a contract with Powergrid of India and BHEL (that constructed the Chimtala Substation) to construct the Charikar and Doshi/Khenjan Substations, using the IRCON International design. The IRCON International bid for the work had expired, and IRCON International does not want to bid on further work due to security concerns. If negotiations proceed well, then a contract with BHEL could be completed in November 2010. MEW is preparing bid documents for the Mahipar and Naghlu Switchyard Rehabilitation. The Mahipar (3 x 26 MVA three phase transformers) and Naghlu (6 x 21 MVA single phase transformers) substations are nearly 45 years old and are in poor material condition. The risk of loss of the substations and the impact on the Kabul City system (and Jalalabad and Mehtarlam) is high. The ROM estimated cost to repair the Mahipar and Naghlu substations is $12 Million. Law on Electricity Services: A draft Law on Electricity Services has been prepared by MEW with assistance from USAID that is undergoing review by ICE participants. The purpose of the Law is: - This Law has been enacted pursuant to Article 10 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in order to promote and develop Electricity Services including generation, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity; to establish an Afghanistan Electricity Regulatory Authority (AERA) with power to regulate the Electricity Services market as set forth in this Law in order to assure a properly functioning market for such Electricity Services; and to establish certain Policy duties of the MEW. This law applies to any electric service company that is operating or seeking to operate in Afghanistan. - It is the policy of the GIRoA that, to the maximum extent practicable, citizens of Afghanistan have access to safe, adequate and reliable Electricity Services, at fair and reasonable prices. Such services may be provided by Government owned and operated, or privately owned and operated enterprises or a combination thereof, operating under competitive market conditions. The following table shows the expected schedule and capacity of NEPS 220 kV and 110 kV Substations:

A. FUNDING AND ACTION NEEDS: 1. FUNDING PRIORITIES: The following order of priorities reflects the consensus derived from previous ICE meetings, MEW Planning Department discussions, donor coordination meetings with GIRoA entities, and current developments: a. Kabul City System: MEW 300/2 and MEW 300/3 has been awarded for Kabul City MV / LV distribution system rehabilitation and expansion, respectively. MEW 300/4 has been awarded for both Kabul City MV and LV distribution system rehabilitation and expansion. ADB MFF Tranche 2 has been issued for construction of a 220 kV D/CKT transmission line from Chimtala Substation to a new to be constructed 220 kV/110 kV/20 kV Kabul Southwest Substation (Dasht-e-Barchi), and development of a distribution network in Southwest Kabul, with an expected completion of December 2013. The rehabilitation of the Kabul City MV and LV distribution systems is required in order for Kabul City to reliably absorb additional energy flows from NEPS imports and new generation facilities being provided by USAID and other donors. The MV distribution system is being constructed for 20 kV but the majority will be operated at 15 kV for some time. Conversion to 20 kV will take careful planning and execution to minimize disruption to customers but must be done as quickly as possible. The longer the conversion is deferred the more disruption will be faced as well as increased system technical losses and the more costly it will become as DABS and MEW will be forced to continue purchase of dual primary rating (15/20 kV) distribution transformers. Upgrading of the Kabul City MV Distribution System from 15 kV to 20 kV enables each feeder to carry 16 MW of power instead of 12 MW of power, and will help substantially in expanding delivery of power throughout Kabul City while reducing technical losses. The 20 kV MV Distribution System is a standard adopted by DABS. The Kabul City system is currently unable to absorb all of the electricity from imported power and the available HPPs and TPPs. Completion of rehabilitation and expansion plans for the Kabul City 110 kV substations and MV / LV distribution system is a high priority. b. South East Power System (SEPS): Timely completion of SEPS generation, transmission, substations and distribution systems on-going and completion of projects identified herein as SEPS funding gaps needs to be completed based on indicated priorities established by MEW Planning Department, DABS and USAID. Integrated substation and distribution systems should be built near the same time as the transmission system capability to serve in order to improve the security of the transmission system. It is important to improve the supply of electricity to people in Kandahar City and other southern provinces. The ICE Subcommittee on NEPS and SEPS Interconnection chaired by the MEW Planning Director will address many issues including increasing the transfer capacity of the NEPS 220 kV Transmission Lines between Pul-e-Khumri and Chimtala Substations needed to increase power imports to serve the SEPS as well as the NEPS. The South Afghanistan Energy Assessment (SAEA) Project is intended to assess and prioritize energy development short term (18 months) and longer term (3 + years) options in six provinces (Ghazni, Logar, Uruzgan, Zabul, Kandahar and Helmand) in the south of Afghanistan to provide the highest potential employment (job creation) and quality of life improvement in the region. Also included will be preliminary engineering design and cost estimates and priorities for grid and non-grid connected projects that can significantly expand the electricity supply to the residents of proximate districts and provinces. The SAEA Project will also include potential work on the NEPS and SEPS Interconnection that indicates that bringing power imports to Kandahar City is

17

reasonable. When AIRP and USACE studies and reports are completed in November 2010, the results will be sent to DABS and MEW. c. North East Power System (NEPS): Timely completion of NEPS generation, transmission, substations and distribution systems on-going and completion of projects identified herein as NEPS funding gaps needs to be completed based on indicated priorities established by MEW Planning Department and DABS. Integrated substation and distribution systems should be built near the same time as the transmission system and generation capability to serve in order to improve the security of the transmission system. MEW has requested that the Ministry of Finance contact the World Bank to request a grant to fund the design, construction, testing and commissioning for the supply and installation of a 110 kV / 20 kV Substation at Qala-e-Naw (Badghis Province) including 1 x 16 MVA Transformer Bay and associated MV/LV Distribution, and a 110 kV OH Transmission Line from Rabat Kashan (Turkmenistan) to the Qala-e-Naw Substation. The ROM estimated costs for the 110 kV / 20 kV Substation and associated MV/LV Distribution is $13.75 million, and the 110 kV Transmission Line is $4.25 million based on MEW cost estimates. The estimated schedule for the completion of the Substation is 350 days from the contract effectiveness date, and the estimated schedule the completion of the 110 kV Transmission Line is 444 days from the contract effectiveness date. Presently there is no power in Qala-e-Naw. d. Sheberghan Gas Field Reserves: The GIRoA / Ministry of Mines has provided initial funds to begin the Sheberghan Gas and Power Development Project, noting that the quality of gas available would require a gas sweetening plant to enable industrial, commercial, and/or residential use of the gas. The GIRoA wants to build a new 150 MW gas fueled Thermal Power Plant (with associated switchyard, substation, transmission and MV / LV distribution) to transmit the power to the NEPS and to meet local power demand requirements. An associated gas distribution network and 89 km pipeline would serve Mazar-eSharif and surrounding areas. There is also a desire to provide fuel to the fertilizer factory in the region, enabling up to 105,000 tons of fertilizer production annually, and enabling rehabilitation of a steam turbine unit at the fertilizer factory to increase output from 14 MW to 48 MW. Because of the characteristics of the gas, development of a liquid natural gas (LNG) processing plant would not be possible, so the gas would need to be transported as compressed natural gas (CNG). The Ministry of Mines noted that: - ADB has provided a $25.4 million grant to rehabilitate 12 gas wells in the areas of Jar Quduk and Khoja Gogerdaq. Gustavson Associates has been hired to procure a turnkey contractor for the gas wells rehabilitation, and to assist the Ministry of Mines by providing consulting and supervising services for project implementation. - The GIRoA requested USAID to consider funding for the gas fuelled TPP and associated NEPS transmission system; other donors are solicited through the Infrastructure Trust Fund. ROM costs are estimated at $250 million. - The GIRoA requested that the ADB consider funding the Sheberghan 220 kV / 20 kV substation and the associated Sheberghan and Aqcha District distribution systems. ROM costs are estimated at $25 million. - The GIRoA also requested donor consideration for the Northern Fertilizer and Power Plant (NFPP) including replacement of 89 km of gas pipelines, rehabilitation of the Fertilizer (Urea) Plant to increase production to 50,000 tons per year, and rehabilitation of the Fertilizer Steam Turbine to increase power generation capacity from 11.5 MW to 48 MW. ROM costs are estimated at $32 million.

18

The GIRoA requested help in the development of a gas processing plant by the private sector that would require investment in infrastructure and community development up to $150 million. - Additionally, the GIRoA requested funding from the Government of Norway for an assessment of the gas pipeline and gas distribution network for commercial, residential and industrial use at major urban population centers in the area. ROM costs are estimated at $1 million. The Ministry of Mines, forecasting the completion of the total project in 2 3 years, noted that extending gas transmission to Kabul City would be too difficult and expensive. A wiser use of resources is to transmit gas generated electricity to Kabul City and elsewhere via the NEPS. The Ministry of Mines will need to check on the amount of gas reserves available at Sheberghan. e. NEPS Substations and Distribution Systems: The following table provides the funding and funding gaps in needed substations and distribution system development within the NEPS service area:

2. ACTION PRIORITIES: The order of priority of actions attempts to reflect the consensus reached in discussions with all stakeholders during meetings prior to the end of the reporting period: a. Power Sector Master Plan ($1.5 Million): ADB is currently processing a Technical Assistance (TA) amounting to $1.5 million to update Power Sector Master Plan for Afghanistan. The TA has been approved by ADB in October 2010 and recruitment of Consultants is underway, expected to be fielded by early 2011 for a 10 month Advisory Technical Assistance. MEW would be the executing agency. ADB has had consultation with MEW, DABS and relevant stakeholders to finalize its scope and Terms of Reference (ToR). The TA intends to provide an overview of existing generation and transmission systems, identify major potential load centers throughout the country and forecast their growth levels for the next twenty year period, and produce a plan to develop (i) generation supply options, through both indigenous and foreign sources; and (ii) transmission network, to connect generation facilities to such load centers. The TA will investigate domestic energy sources including coal, gas, hydro, and wind and also focus on promoting intra-regional trade of electricity with neighboring countries. The TA would also discuss economic analyses and financial projections for the proposed development plan. In addition, ADB has also approved a regional TA for Power Master Plan for Central Asian countries, including Afghanistan. This TA would look into issues related to interconnection among CAREC countries and possible options/solution to address these. The Afghanistan Power Sector Master Plan update is expected to be completed by December 2011.

b. Uzbekistan PPA and Interconnection: An agreement has been signed with

Uzbekenergo for power import of up to 120 MW for 2010 over the 220 kV D/CKT Transmission Lines. Reportedly, Uzbekistan can provide up to 200 MW if requested to do so. A new agreement is needed with Uzbekenergo following acceptance of the second circuit of the 220 kV D/CKT Transmission Line (now complete), and installation of NEPS RPC equipment and completion of Kabul City MV and LV Distribution Systems enabling additional power imports (up to 240 MW for Kabul City) and the ability to absorb the added power imports. It remains an important objective for MEW to manage expectations and conduct a public education campaign for all involved in the NEPS, including the cities and towns to be served by the NEPS, regarding the timing of construction and rehabilitation of generating stations, transmission lines, substations and distribution systems that would enable improved access and reliability of electricity supply to the commercial, governmental, industrial and residential customers. c. Grant 0134-AFG: Energy Sector Development Investment Program Project 1: NEPS Operations and Maintenance (O&M): DABS is working to get a contract for O&M of the NEPS 220 kV transmission line and substations. ADB has committed to providing needed funding; $26 Million for the NEPS O&M contract and about $4 Million for the NEPS Emergency Restoration System (ERS) as part of the MFF Tranche 1. The consultant procurement is under process but has been delayed. NEPS is a 220 kV system being developed with the assistance of the international community since 2003. The initial phase of the NEPS enabling power import from Uzbekistan to Kabul has been mostly completed, and power has been supplied from Uzbekistan to Kabul since April 2009. Initially, the 220 kV NEPS supplying power from Uzbekistan to Kabul will be operated on an island mode without synchronizing with the domestic thermal / hydropower plants on the 110 kV system. The Kabul system is therefore split at the North Kabul Substation. However, during the contract period of the Project, it is envisaged that the system will be synchronized through Afghanistan's accession to the United Energy System of Central Asia.

21

For the O&M of the 220 kV NEPS, the NEPS Transmission Department (NTD) is being established under DABS. Although DABS has good experience in the operation and maintenance (O&M) of its existing 110 kV system, it does not have experience with the operation of 220 kV transmission or contemporary protection and communication systems. A consultant will be recruited under the Project to assist DABS, the NTD in particular, in operation and maintenance of the 220 kV NEPS system for 3 years, with two 1-year options for providing continued assistance to operate and maintain the expanding system, as deemed necessary. The consulting service will emphasize training of DABS staff to take over the O&M of the system in a phased manner over 3 years. The objective of the consultant contract is to assist DABS to create an effective operation and maintenance organization for running the 220 kV NEPS transmission system. The consultant will initially lead the main functions of the NTD. The core functions of the consultant are to: (i) assist NTD in day-to-day transmission system operations and maintenance; (ii) assist NTD in transmission system repairs; (iii) assist NTD in preparation of O&M manuals and safety procedures; (iv) assist DABS in identifying and procuring spare parts, equipment, and tools (financed by separate procurement under the MFF), and (v) conduct capacity building in order to for NTD staff to gradually takeover the O&M functions. The consultant will revise existing or prepare new operation, safety and other manuals (Standard Operating Procedures) in accordance with international standards and prudent utility practices. DABS will submit them to the MEW for review and comment, and, if necessary, to the Ministry of Justice for registration. A number of experts of the consultant will be initially stationed in major substations and camps to conduct day-to-day O&M of the facilities and deliver on-the-job training to NTD staff. The components of the 220 kV NEPS to be operated and maintained under consultant contract are the facilities that are completed by commencement of the contract and those commissioned during the contract period. The Consultant will also assist DABS in preparation of bidding documents for international competitive bidding; preparation of bid evaluation report(s); assistance at contract negotiations, etc. Procurement will be in accordance with ADB's Procurement Guidelines as amended. All existing assets and any additionally procured equipment and/or materials will remain under the ownership of DABS. d. Emergency Restoration System (ERS): The ERS is a pre-built temporary replacement for damaged towers in order to allow transmission of power to continue for the period needed for permanent repair. The ERS would be located at one or more of the camps north and south of the Salang Pass to enable rapid mobilization of repair of the NEPS transmission lines, especially in the Snow Belt. ADB indicated that it will fund the Afghanistan NEPS ERS as part of the ADB MFF, Tranche 1 and the NEPS Operations and Maintenance requirements. e. Service Connections and Metering: Many donor funded distribution projects include, or are being amended to include, customer service connections to assist customers in acquiring electricity, assure that connections are being done safely with quality materials and proper grounding (earthing) and service panels to minimize technical losses. It should be noted that SMEC International with World Bank (ARTF funds) is modifying the scope of work for MEW/S 502, Mazar-e-Sharif MV and LV Distribution to include service connections in the scope of work. This should be done for all LV Distribution work to assure quality and safe customer connections to the system, reduce technical losses, and enable customers to conveniently be connected to the public power supply.

22

f.

DABS is developing three phase and single phase metering standards that can be used by MEW and donors in the various projects to ensure standardized customer meters are used in the projects to improve consistency and minimize spare parts requirements. Economic and Infrastructure Development Cluster National Energy Supply Program: The Economic and Infrastructure Development Cluster National Energy Supply Program (July 2010) objective is to deliver cost-effective energy to industries and communities. The stated goals are to: Intended Results 1 3 Years 1. National Energy Policy prepared and operationalized. 2. 75% collection rate, 65% urban coverage, 25% rural coverage, and 90% non-residential coverage achieved. 3. 30% reduction in technical losses. Intended Results 3 5 Years 1. Total energy supply 1,800 MW of which 1,200 MW is domestic production. 2. 95% collection rate, 85% urban coverage, and 40% rural coverage achieved. 3. 15% further reduction in technical losses. 4. 15,000 jobs created.

Intended Results 6 12 Months 1. National Energy Policy under preparation. 2. Economic criteria in program design institutionalized. 3. Enhanced management reporting institutionalized.

g. Central Asia South Asia Electricity Transmission and Trade (CASA-1000) Project: Afghanistan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Pakistan and Tajikistan have been pursuing the development of electricity trading arrangements and the establishment of a Central Asia - South Asia Regional Electricity Market (CASAREM). These four countries have intensified their cooperation since 2005 among themselves and with the International Financial Institutions (IFIs) comprising the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) and the World Bank (WB). The initiative to develop the regional market is based on the following considerations: Expectations that sufficient quantities of surplus electricity are available in the Central Asian countries (the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan); Significant need for electricity imports in South Asia to meet existing and projected demand; Differences in the cost of electricity between the importing and exporting countries that potentially provide a justifiable rationale to make transmission investments in order to support the electricity trade; and The expectation that the establishment of the transmission interconnection and the trading mechanisms would attract future private sector investment to enhance the electricity trade in the entire region. One of the key components of this initiative is the proposed development of a crossborder transmission interconnection linking the four countries to facilitate the transfer of surplus power that would be made available in the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan, to Pakistan and Afghanistan. In order to examine the possibility of regional electricity trade, the four countries together with the experts from the Asian Development Bank and World Bank first met in Islamabad in May 2006. Subsequent meetings to further explore the potential of regional cooperation in electricity trade were held in Istanbul and Dushanbe in June 2006 and October 2006 respectively. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed in Dushanbe that commits the countries to pursue the feasibility of the

23

transmission interconnection and trading of electricity with the concomitant institutional and legal framework. As a result of various meetings, it was established that the proposed transmission line project would be a dedicated link essentially aimed at supplying surplus power from the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan to Pakistan and Afghanistan. The development of the first phase of CASAREM, which is to establish the necessary transmission and trading infrastructure and systems to enable a trade of 1,000 to 1,300 MW of electricity between Central Asia and South Asia, is referred to as CASA-1000. It is envisaged that the major share of the export will be used by Pakistan, while a relatively smaller quantity of power (up to 300 MW) will be imported by Afghanistan. Pakistan also expressed interest in increasing imports over the medium to long term. Based on the above broad guidelines, it was decided to undertake a feasibility study of the transmission interconnection project. Terms of Reference (TOR) were prepared for the feasibility study and for the commercial assessment of the Project, which were later on endorsed by the countries through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The feasibility study was financed by the Asian Development Bank and was competitively awarded to SNC Lavalin of Canada. The study was to be carried out in two phases, with Phase 1 covering a pre-feasibility assessment of the technical and economic viability of the transmission interconnection, and Phase 2 providing the detailed feasibility analysis of the project. The Phase 1 report was completed in December 2007. Subsequently, ADB suspended involvement in the project, but the World Bank agreed to continue and complete the Phase 2 feasibility study, and undertook to assist the governments with the required economic analysis and establishment of the existence of sufficient surplus power (taking into account domestic demand growth in the exporting countries), to justify construction of a transmission line with estimated cost of $900 million. The surplus power is available only in the summer months; in winter both Tajikistan and Kyrgyz Republic suffer energy shortages and cannot meet their own demands for heating. It was widely agreed that the most efficient route to satisfactory completion of the study would be for the World Bank to hire SNC Lavalin, and a contract to complete the Phase 2 study was issued in April 2010. SNC Lavalin completed the technical and economic aspects of the Phase 2 feasibility study in an Interim Report in October 2010. In the pre-feasibility study, and the earlier version of the feasibility study, SNC Lavalin had undertaken some preliminary environmental and social assessments as part of their Terms of Reference. However, in the meantime, the World Bank requires that in a World Bank funded project, the engineering consultant may not at the same time be responsible for environmental and social studies. The environmental and social studies must be conducted by an separate consultant, who must, however, remain well coordinated with the engineering consultant in order to make sure that both studies pertain to the same project. The environmental and social assessments are an integral part of the upfront feasibility work that must be presented to potential financiers of the project. The findings on social and environmental safeguards and required mitigation actions are critical for estimating overall project cost. The World Bank will arrange for contracting of the environment and social studies consultant, and for managing the consultancy until the output is delivered to the IGC. It is anticipated that the IGC will then review the results of the technical-economic feasibility study in conjunction with the environmental and social study, and if the conclusions are favorable, it will approach the World Bank, the Islamic Development Bank and other possible sources of funding to raise the funds required for the construction and commissioning of the transmission line.

B. NEPS CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES: Uzbekenergo has completed construction of the second circuit of the 220 kV D/CKT Transmission Lines from the Surkhan Substation in Uzbekistan to the Afghanistan border at Hairatan, and the GIRoA has accepted the lines. Uzbekenergo will operate and maintain the NEPS 220 kV Transmission Lines inside of Uzbekistan, and DABS will operate and maintain the NEPS 220 kV Transmission Lines inside of Afghanistan, with assistance from the NEPS O&M contractor (to be determined). The completion of the second circuit of the 220 kV D/CKT Transmission Lines is expected to enable 300 MW to be imported from Uzbekistan to Afghanistan (after a synchronization agreement has been negotiated, Reactive Power Compensation has been installed, and the Kabul City MV and LV rehabilitation and expansion work is completed) to serve Kabul City, Mazar-e-Sharif, Pul-eKhumri and the other cities and towns connected to the NEPS via new or rehabilitated 220 kV / 20 kV Substations and associated MV and LV Distribution Systems. DABS needs additional qualified people to operate and maintain the NEPS 220 kV transmission lines and substations, until the long-term NEPS 220 kV O&M contractor is in place. The DABS staff also needs improved training to cope with the new technology at each substation, and expertise in Special Protection Systems (SPS) for transmission systems operations and emergencies. The Charikar distribution system (as well as the interconnected Gulbahar and Jabul Seraj distribution systems) is being constructed by AEPC / ATSL JV with ARTF funds. The Charikar, Gulbahar and Jabul Seraj distribution systems will all be served by the Charikar substation. The schedule for the distribution systems is now December 2011, but the schedule for the substation is uncertain at this juncture. NEPS recommended High Voltage Protection measures were submitted to DABS by AIRP.

The scope of the Kabul City MV and LV distribution system rehabilitation and expansion is illustrated in the Kabul City Electricity Rehabilitation and Extension Projects drawing prepared by SMEC International. The rehabilitation of the Kabul City MV and LV distribution systems is required in order for Kabul City to reliably absorb additional energy flows from NEPS imports and new generation facilities being provided by USAID and other donors. Additional funding needed for Kabul City distribution system rehabilitation and expansion has been estimated at USD $234 Million. 17. Rehabilitate 110 kV Transmission Line from Amu Substation to Mazar-e-Sharif: a. The 110 kV transmission line from the Amu Substation in Uzbekistan is capable of transmitting 70 MW of electricity to Afghanistan. The 110 kV transmission line inside of Uzbekistan is in good material condition. The power from the Amu Substation was provided to Afghanistan (Kabul City and Mazar-e-Sharif) from January May 2009 at 110 kV via the 220 kV D/CKT transmission lines until the lines and associated 220 kV substations at Chimtala, Mazar-e-Sharif, Naibabad Switching Station and Pul-eKhumri were tested and commissioned between April and May 2009. Currently, the power from the Surkhan Substation in Uzbekistan (capable of up to 300 MW via 220 29

kV D/CKT transmission lines once testing and commissioning is complete and RPC operational) is planned to supply power to Kabul City, Mazar-e-Sharif, and Pul-eKhumri, and also to Aybak, Charikar, Gulbahar, Jabul Seraj, Khulm, and Doshi (Khenjan) when the associated 220kV / 20 kV substations and distribution systems are complete. The plan is to rehabilitate the 110 kV transmission line from Uzbekistan, inside of Afghanistan that is in poor material condition. In this way, the 70 MW of power from the Amu Substation can be dedicated to Mazar-e-Sharif, and the power (up to 300 MW) from the Surkhan Substation can be dedicated to the other load centers enumerated above and also possibly to Baghlan, Imam Sahib, Kunduz, Sherkhan Bandar and Taleqan via the Tajikistan connection. b. The Rehab of the 110 kV Transmission Line from Amu Substation to Mazar-e-Sharif (Priority 11) should be considered as a possible way to get an extra 70 MW of power imports to Afghanistan from Uzbekistan. The 70 MW from Amu Substation could serve Mazar-e-Sharif, freeing up more power from the Surkhan Substation (300 MW expected by end of 2010 or early 2011), especially with the potential of the NEPS and SEPS Interconnection. 18. Darunta 35 kV / 110 kV Transformer Bay including Transmission Line: a. The rehabilitation of the Darunta HPP is currently underway. The scheduled completion of all unit repairs is December 2010. The contract is to refurbish the three units to their nameplate capacity of 3.85 MW (11.5 MW total). b. Darunta is 35 kV/ 6.5kV and the planned work will not address any changes to the transmission or distribution system to connect to the 110 kV substation being constructed by KEC International with ADB funds (MEW-337, Lot 2) expected to be completed by December 2010. c. The proposed scope of work is to design and construct a 35 kV / 110 kV transformer bay (16 MVA) and associated 110 kV transmission line to connect the output of the Darunta HPP to the new 110 kV substation being constructed by KEC International with ADB funding (and Project Management by SMEC International). d. The schedule for the work would need to be integrated with the expansion of the Jalalabad MV and LV Distribution System expansion as the number of households planned to be served by MEW-337, Lot 2 is only 8,200 households. 19. Jalalabad Added 40 MVA Transformer Bay: a. The new 110 kV Jalalabad Substation being constructed by KEC International (with ADB funding and Project Management by SMEC International) under MEW-337, Lot 2 is only 16 MVA (12.8 MW at 0.8 PF). However, the AIRP determined that the peak load in Jalalabad is 37 MW. Consequently, it is recommended that an added 40 MVA transformer (32 MW at 0.8 PF) be provided to serve the existing peak load with capacity for modest growth. 20. Tarakhil 110 kV / 20 kV Substation (2 x 40 MVA Transformer Bays): a. It is recommended that 2 x 40 MVA transformers be provided at the Tarakhil TPP to serve the anticipated industrial and residential load in that part of Kabul City. MV and LV Distribution would be covered by needed Kabul City MV and LV Extension and Rehabilitation Projects. 21. 220 kV D/CKT Transmission Line from Sheberghan to Naibabad (2 x 162 km): a. The objective of this proposed project is to design and construct a 220 kV D/CKT transmission line from Sheberghan to the Naibabad Switching Station for import power from Turkmenistan to the NEPS, and to bring NEPS power to the Sheberghan area. The ROM cost of $90.0 Million is based on an independent cost estimate in 1997 and escalated by 1.085.

The Project (MEW 699 and MEW 775) amounting to $35.09 million was approved in December 2006 and is now expected to be completed in August 2011 and December 2011, respectively, to facilitate import of power from Tajikistan. The Project is co-financed by the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB). MEW is the Executing Agency, SMEC International is the consultant, and KEC International is the contractor. The location of new substation in Kunduz has been shifted to out of town due to shortage of space at the existing substation compound. The new line route has been completely surveyed and approved. Sections of the revised route are still under the Land and Resettlement plan which requires compensation to affected families for agriculture land acquisition. The line construction requires additional funding for the route deviation from ADB. Due to change in scope, variation in quantities and escalation in prices, upon request of GIRoA, ADB is approving a supplementary grant financing of $12 million (expected to be approved by November 2010) to fund cost overruns. All efforts are underway to complete the Project by December 2011 so that TAJ power import into AFG could be materialized. The contract for Project Management and consulting services for the substations has been awarded to SMEC International. The contract for the construction of the substations (220 kV / 20 kV, 1 x 16 MVA transformer in Baghlan, and 220 kV / 20 kV, 1 x 25 MVA transformer and 220 kV / 110 kV, 1 x 40 MVA power transformer in Kunduz) has been awarded to Safa Nicu (Iran). Major progress is pending LC but the following activities were accomplished during the reporting period: (a) the civil work is ongoing and should be completed before the winter months; (b) the manufacturing inspections are currently been carried out; and (c) security has dramatically improved, however work is still proceeding with minor interruptions.

Aybak Phase II MV / LV Distribution Systems: The Aybak Phase II MV and LV Distribution Systems are necessary to distribute the electricity from the substation to the governmental, commercial, industrial and residential customers. USAID funded Phase I wherein half of the Aybak System was rebuilt to the 20/0.4 kV standard. The remaining portion of the system (6 kV) needs to be re-built to standard. The MV and LV Distribution System will be served by the associated 220 kV / 20 kV substation that is being constructed by IRCON International (MEW/S-503) with Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Funds (ARTF). The Aybak Phase II MV and LV Distribution Systems are expected to serve 5,900 additional customer connections. The ROM cost is estimated at $8 Million. Mazar-e-Sharif Added MV / LV Distribution Systems: The Mazar-e-Sharif MV and LV Distribution Systems will be expanded to serve additional governmental, commercial, industrial and residential customers. Rehabilitation of Khanabad Hydropower Station Units 1 and 2: The Kunduz District of Khanabad is starved for electricity for social development and economic growth. The expected power electricity imports from Tajikistan are seasonal only and would be insufficient for power needs in the area. The people of the Federal Republic of Germany, through its implementing agency KfW Development Bank, are rehabilitating Khanabad Unit 1 that is in the final design stage, and Khanabad Unit 2. Khanabad Unit 1 will provide 1.7 MW of vitally needed electricity. However, this amount of electricity is insufficient to serve the population of 145,000 people (based on statistics from the CSO, 2008 2009). The Khanabad Unit 2 Project is a new 10.4 MW project located on the Khanabad River in the Khanabad District of Kunduz. The Khanabad Units 1 and 2 HPP would be connected to the NEPS via a 28 km transmission Line running to the main 220 kV substation at the City of Kunduz, and are expected to have minimal impact on land acquisition and resettlement in the area. Rehabilitation of Pul-e-Khumri Hydro Power Plants Units 1 and 2: This project involves the management, planning, design, material, labor, and equipment to complete rehabilitation of the Pul-e-Khumri HPP Units 1 and 2 resulting in a combined generation capacity of 13.8 MW.

USAID Funded Projects: a. Reactive Power Compensation System (RPC): The objective of the Reactive Power Compensation Project is to procure and install reactors and capacitors for identified substations in the North East Power System (NEPS). Upon completion, the NEPS voltage level will be maintained within international permissible limits, system losses will be minimized, and power transmitted for NEPS from all resources will be maximized. Siemens Pakistan Engineering Limited is the contractor for the Reactive Power Compensation System (engineering, procurement and construction). The initial work is to install capacitor banks at the Chimtala, Kabul North and Pule-Khumri Substations, and a reactor bank at the Naibabad Switching Station. Civil work is proceeding at each of the sites, and all necessary equipment is in transit. Work at the Chimtala and Kabul North Substations should be completed by February 2011, enabling 133 MW power imports from Uzbekistan (and up to 177 MW with some voltage stability risk). Work at Pul-e-Khumri Substation and Naibabad Switching Station should be complete by April - May 2011, enabling 240 MW power imports from Uzbekistan for Kabul City, subject to completion of ongoing MV and LV Distribution Systems expansion and rehabilitation work. b. National Load Control and Dispatch Center (NLCC): The objective of the USAID funded National Load Control Center (NLCC) Project is to provide a turnkey Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System and Communications System for 18 Substations and Generation Plants for the automation of the Afghanistan NEPS Network. The NLCC system will be equipped with equipment needed to enhance the reliability, effectiveness, efficiency, quantification and safety of NEPS operations. Equipment will consist of a SCADA Master Station in Kabul (at the 105 MW Tarakhil DPP Site), Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), and Fiber Optic (OPGW) communications carrier systems. The NLCC main control in Kabul will monitor and control the 220kV and 110kV transmission, generation and substations. The system will provide automated control to the DABS operators for normal and real time system control and data acquisition for power scheduling and dispatching, load shedding/restoration during contingencies, system maintenance and planned outages, and system security for safe and reliable operation. The Fiber Optic (OPGW) communications carrier systems are expected to be complete in December 2010. The NEPS Transmission Lines were broken in six places, and funding is being requested from USAID to repair. Construction of the NLCC Building at the 105 MW (Tarakhil) DPP site is ongoing. The DABS Chief Operating Officer observed the Factory Acceptance Testing of the SCADA System in Istanbul, Turkey. Also, 12 DABS Engineers are in Istanbul for six months of training. The DABS Engineers will undergo six more months of training after the NLCC is installed at the 105 MW (Tarakhil) DPP site. The SCADA System is being constructed to connect 19 nodes (generation stations, substations, and training station) but is capable of serving 60 nodes. Plans are being developed to connect added generation and substations (such as Baghlan and Kunduz).

39

Project completion is May 2011 with the SCADA System operational by April 15, 2011. Technical requirements for connection to the NLCC should be included by MEW into future Substation design requirements.

The embargo imposed on PS poles by MEW has resulted in suspension of pole deliveries from Kabul and will affect contract completion. To assist the project MEW transferred 1,500 poles for an existing project from KEC plant to this project. AEPC / ATSL JV submitted proposal to include the required quantity of the construction materials incorporating price increase per the price formula given in contract documents. The additional cost will be approximately $5,500,000 USD. Incorporating service connection component to the project scope will require additional funds of approximately $3,000,000. The project time schedule is delayed due to late pole deliveries and nonavailability of some of the construction materials. SMEC International is working with the contractor to minimize the delay. The project is now estimated to be completed by September 2011.

c. MEW/S 503 Aybak 220 kV Substation and Mazar-e-Sharif Substation Extension (Contractor: IRCON International, ARTF funding): The MEW, IRoA has received a grant from the ARTF of US $57 million and it intends to apply part of the proceeds of this grant to payments under the contract for supply and installation of 220/20 kV Aybak substation (new) and bay expansion work at the 220/20 kV Mazar-e-Sharif substation (existing).

The closing bid date will be extended due to amendments. The expected closing date is mid January 2011. The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany, through its implementing agency KfW Development Bank, completed the rehabilitation of the Mahipar and Surobi Hydro Power Plants (HPP) in 2008. The rated generation output of the Mahipar HPP is 66 MW and the rated output of the Surobi HPP is 26 MW. The World Bank is funding the rehabilitation of the Naghlu HPP by Technopromexport (Russia) that will sustain the 100 MW rated output of the Naghlu HPP. The work is now expected to be completed by September 2012, and there are security and silting issues to address. The Mahipar (3 x 26 MVA three phase transformers) and Naghlu (6 x 21 MVA single phase transformers) substations are nearly 45 years old and are in poor material condition. The risk of loss of the substations and the impact on the Kabul City system (and for Jalalabad and Mehtarlam) is high. The ROM estimated cost to repair the Mahipar and Naghlu substations is $12 Million. Mahipar Hydro Power Plant Description: The Mahipar HPP is located 35 km east of Kabul City; this plant does not have a dam. The intake is via surge tank fed by a diversion canal and tunnel from Kabul and Logar Rivers, and operates seasonally. The length of the tunnel is 3.62 km. The maximum working days of this power plant are 150-170 days annually and usually from December to April, and occasionally into the month of May. This

42

plant was built in 1964 - 1965 by Germanys Voight Siemens Company and has 3 French turbines. The rehabilitation of power plant was completed and funded by KFW. The switchyard equipment is original, well past its lifetime, in poor material condition, and needs rehabilitation. Naghlu Hydro Power Plant Description: The Naghlu HPP is located approximately 60 km east of Kabul City and is easily accessible by paved road; this plant has a dam and reservoir for storage of water. The water to this dam comes from the Ghurband, Kabul, Logar and Panjshir Rivers. The maximum capacity of the reservoir is designed for 580M m3 water. The Naghlu hydro power plant is working in parallel with Surobi and Mahipar power plants and all of these plants are supplying electricity to Kabul City. This plant was built in 1964 by the Russias Technopromexport and it has four French turbines. The rehabilitation of power plant is in progress and funded by the World Bank and consisting of renewal of turbines and generators. However, rehabilitation of the switchyard is not included in the contract. The switchyard equipment is original, well past its lifetime, in poor material condition, and needs rehabilitation. f. MEW/S 506 Pul-e-Khumri Distribution Rehabilitation (Contractor: Angelique International of India, ARTF funding): The scope of work includes rehabilitation and extension of the Pul-e-Khumri MV and LV Distribution Network comprising 3 km of MV UG cable, 50 km of MV OH conductor line, 22 km of LV UG cable, 125 km of LV ABC OH conductor line, 55 distribution transformers, and 3,200 concrete poles.

Vendor and product approvals completed and FAT/Inspections completed; pole mounting structures design completed; warehouse construction near in completion; and MV / LV Distribution System design completed and in final review. Estimated completion is now September 2011.

g. MEW/S 508 - Supply of 7,000 consumer meters by Angelique International for use at Kabul City and Mazar-e-Sharif is expected to be completed by December 2010. There have been delays in shipment of meters. The first lot of meters is already in Kabul City and the meters have been handed over to DABS for installation. The second lot of meters is in transit now. h. MEW/S 510 - Household Electricity Survey Project: The objective is to understand the current attitude and disposition of customers for electricity in major towns of Afghanistan. The broader objective is to gather information to design a sustainable electricity supply delivery system based on the understanding of the views of the customers. The survey will try to understand: The extent of electricity availability to customers (grid and non-grid connected); the priority needs and usages of customers; the cost / expenditure for electricity; expectations of customers from the sector; the availability of energy efficiency options; and expectations from the utility and its obligations. A workshop was presented to MEW to explain the results of the survey and the final report was presented to MEW. The next step in this process would be a feasibility study to evaluate the scope of work in these regions.

C. SEPS CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES: 1. ADB Funded Projects: a. Greshk Power Improvement Project ($78 Million USD): Under the 3rd tranche of ADB's Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF $570 Million approved in November 2008), the Gereshk Power Improvement Project is under preparation/processing stage. The Project is being co-financed by the British ($20 Million) and the Danish ($12 Million) Governments. The scope of the Project includes rehabilitation of an offgrid 4.5 MW hydropower plant in Gereshk (Helmand) and improvements in transmission/distribution network for some 7,000 households. The Project is expected to be approved by the ADB Board of Directors in December 2010 with a tentative funding of $78 Million. DABS will be the executing agency. Currently the advanced procurement of EPCM Consultants is underway and the approval of this Project by ADB is contingent upon the success in recruiting capable consultants to undertake the Project. 2. USAID Funded Projects: a. NEPS and SEPS Interconnection: USAID contractor Tetra Tech completed a draft NEPS to Kandahar Tactical Tie-In Study (WO-A-0052) and prepared a draft NEPS to Kandahar Area of Work Sketch. Tetra Tech noted that the draft NEPS to SEPS Interconnection Plan are to bring 30 MW of imported power to Kandahar, but the amount of power from NEPS to SEPS is expected to grow significantly with Afghanistan infrastructure improvements and development. The basis for the 30 MW power supply to Kandahar is to minimize use of the installed Kandahar City System gensets (and minimize expensive use of diesel fuel) with sustainable power imports in conjunction with the available power from Kajakai HPP (about 10 MW). The power imports will also serve to help economic growth in Kandahar City. Tetra Tech noted that the transmission lines Right-of-Way is critical to the success of the project. The Tetra Tech transmission plan would enable power to be brought from the NEPS to Kandahar City (recognizing existing transmission restrictions). The Tetra Tech NEPS to Kandahar Tactical Tie-In Plan includes assumptions that need to be validated, but allows for bare-bones substations to be constructed along the way (for security of the transmission lines) and includes a breaker and a half scheme to enable safe operations and maintenance. Tetra Tech is looking at 795 kcmil ACSR Conductor to enable as much power as reasonable for the initial single circuit 220 kV transmission system to allow for future growth. Tetra Tech indicated that it would take 3 4 years for the NEPS to Kandahar City transmission system to be built. b. South Afghanistan Energy Assessment: The South Afghanistan Energy Assessment Project is intended to assess and prioritize six provinces from Ghazni to Helmand for focusing energy development options in the south of Afghanistan to provide the highest potential employment (job creation) and quality of life improvement in the region. Also included will be preliminary cost estimates and priorities for grid and non-grid connected projects that can significantly expand the electricity supply to the residents of proximate districts and provinces. The South Afghanistan Energy Assessment Project will also include potential work on the NEPS and SEPS Interconnection that indicates that bringing power imports to Kandahar City is reasonable. When AIRP and USACE studies and reports are completed in November 2010, the results will be sent to DABS and MEW. c. South East Power System (SEPS): As the planning and conceptual design for the SEPS system is being developed, the design team has focused on the following key guiding principles: - Improve reliability, not redundancy, and ease of operation; ensure designs facilitate the performance of maintenance work without impacting reliability; where practical, use consistent equipment, design guidelines, standards, and

44

requirements, as well as standard operating principles and protection schemes; and where practical, utilize factory assembled control and protection systems. d. SEPS / Durai Junction: The Durai Junction Project has two areas of focus: - Build a substation that serves three purposes: (1) transmission substation for transport of energy to the downstream load centers, (2) distribution substation to provide power for local loads, and (3) ensure overall facility layout is designed to meet future generation and load growth needs. - Procure transformers and circuit breakers for SEPS to reduce overall project implementation timeframes and to utilize consistent equipment in the system. The immediate construction plan for Durai Junction Substation includes three 110 kV transmission line positions: one for a line from Kajakai HPP, a line to Lashkar Gah, and a line to Kandahar. In addition, one 110 kV line position is included for a 12/16/20 MVA 110/20 kV transformer to provide service for local loads. The substation will have a control house for new protection, control, metering, and communication equipment (PCMC). The protection and control equipment will allow sectionalizing of the 110 kV transmission system and of the substation in a manner to localize the impacted facilities and maintain service to the upstream loads during a fault condition. The overall design is IEC compliant and specifically, the PCMC design is IEC 61850 compliant and conforms to the Afghanistan National Load Control Center requirements. The bus configuration is a breaker and a half scheme designed to have a high level of reliability and to enable the performance of circuit breaker and switch maintenance. The wire bus system and the equipment are sized to meet the capacity of both Kajakai HPP Powerhouse 1 and Powerhouse 2. The layout of the substation has been organized to accommodate future expansion including two future 110 kV lines (one from Kajakai and one to Kandahar), future reactive power compensation, and a future transformer to serve Grishk loads. The detail engineering, procurement, and construction work will be subcontracted using USAID procurement processes and procedures. The subcontract tenders are evaluated on technical, commercial, and local content basis. This work is anticipated to take 19 months to complete, depending on land availability. LBG/B&V JV will provide construction management, safety management, and quality control services to ensure that the subcontract work is completed to the requirements. For the transformer procurement portion of this project, a total of eight units were requested. For rural areas, one transformer is utilized. For urban areas, multiple transformers are utilized. These units are sized to meet the near and medium term growth needs of the community. The following table illustrates the planned location and quantity of transformers included in this project. The ratings on these transformers include: 110/20 kV 12/16/20 MVA (ONAN/ONAF/ONAF rating), 550 kV/125 kV BIL, with a Dyn1 two winding configuration. The transformers will be equipped with on-load tap changers and surge arresters. The procurement contract will be developed to allow additional equipment to be provided, as the overall system plans are defined in the future. Operation and maintenance training will be provided by the manufacturer. Commissioning parts and maintenance spare parts are also provided.

e. SEPS / Kandahar City: The Kandahar City Project has five areas of focus: - Build a Breshna Kot substation that serves three purposes: (1) transmission substation for transport of energy to the downstream load centers and provides the basis for creating a future Kandahar City 110 kV loop transmission system; (2) distribution substation to provide transformation for local loads and to provide interconnection for local generation sources; and (3) facility layout designed to meet future generation and load growth needs. - Rebuild the medium and low voltage distribution system by replacing the existing deteriorated facilities. - Build an East substation that serves three purposes: (1) transmission substation for transport of energy to the downstream load centers and connecting with the110 kV looped transmission system; (2) distribution substation to provide transformation for local loads and to provide interconnection for local generation sources; and (3) facility layout designed to meet future generation and load growth needs. - Build a transmission line between Breshna Kot and East substations, with length estimates ranging from 20 km to 40 km. - Procure and install 14 diesel generators to replace the existing 14 KTA-50 diesel generators, all located at the existing Breshna Kot substation. Kandahar Breshna Kot Substation (KBK): The immediate construction plan for Breshna Kot Substation includes two 110 kV transmission line positions: one for a line from Durai Junction substation and one for a line to Kandahar East substation. In addition, four 110 kV line positions are included for four 12/16/20 MVA 110/20 kV

46

transformers to provide service for local loads and to interconnect local generation. The substation will have two modular control enclosures for new protection, control, metering, and communication equipment (PCMC). The protection and control equipment will allow sectionalizing of the 110 kV transmission system and of the substation in a manner to localize the impacted facilities and maintain service to the upstream loads during a fault condition. The overall design is IEC compliant and specifically, the PCMC design is IEC 61850 compliant and conforms to the Afghanistan National Load Control Center requirements. The bus configuration is a breaker and a half scheme designed to have a high level of reliability and to enable the performance of circuit breaker and switch maintenance. The wire bus system and the equipment are sized to meet the capacity for both Kajakai HPP Powerhouse 1 and Powerhouse 2, as well as for the local generation. In addition to the transformers, four banks of 20 kV switchgear will be installed, with bus ties between each pair. Local generation will be connected via dedicated feeders, with one 20 kV generation feeder per switchgear lineup. This configuration will allow for future interconnection of the 20 kV generation to the 110 kV grid. The layout of the substation has been organized to accommodate future expansion including three future 110 kV line positions: one for a second transmission line from Kajakai, one for a Kandahar south loop110 kV line, and one for future reactive compensation. The technical requirements for this substation will be comparable to the Durai Junction substation. The detail engineering, minor procurement, and construction work will be subcontracted using USAID procurement processes and procedures. The subcontract tenders are evaluated on technical, commercial, and local content basis. This work is anticipated to take 30 months to complete, depending on land availability and security. LBG/B&V JV will provide construction management, safety management, and quality control services to ensure that the subcontract work is completed to the requirements. Using both the Substation subcontract and the major equipment subcontracts, technical training will be provided to local personnel. In addition, local personnel will be utilized as shadows to key technical and project management roles to support Afghan capacity building objectives. As with the B&V personnel, the local personnel are anticipated to transition by technical discipline from Breshna Kot substation to East substation as the work progresses. Using the safety personnel and quality control personnel, startup and commissioning support will be on-site to ensure a timely transfer of connections from the old substation to the new substation. MV and LV Distribution System: For the medium voltage system, approximately 840 structures, 110 MLF of conductor, and 10 x 630 kVA transformers will be replaced. For the low voltage system, approximately 840 structures and approximately 550 MLF of conductor will be replaced. In order to perform this work effectively, planning work must be completed to: - review how the local diesel generation connections should be optimized to align with new feeders and switchgear configuration at Breshna Kot and East substations; - review the current load flow and future load flow projections to optimize the feeder configuration between substations and the feeders specifically. Load flow models will be developed to perform this review. Based on the findings above, conceptual design will be completed for the respective feeders. Work packages will then be tendered on a feeder basis for detailed engineering, procurement, and construction. The subcontractors will provide all materials, based on standards provided with the tender. With four months of planning, then a four month tendering process, and 12-24 months design and construction, this overall work is anticipated to be complete in 36 months. The feeder

47

work will be prioritized to rebuild the 513 and 514 feeders first in anticipation of new generation sources coming on line. Local personnel will be utilized as shadows to key technical and project management roles to support Afghan capacity building objectives. As part of the subcontract management, specifically through submittal review and construction management, technical training will be provided to local personnel. As with the B&V personnel, the local personnel are anticipated to transition by technical discipline from one subcontract to the next as work progresses. Using safety personnel and quality control personnel, from the start of construction through startup and commissioning, these personnel will also be on to ensure a timely and safe transfer of connections to the new feeders. Kandahar East Substation (KE): The immediate construction plan for East Substation includes one 110 kV transmission line position from Kandahar Breshna Kot. In addition, three 110 kV line positions are included for three 12/16/20 MVA 110/20 kV transformers to provide service for local loads and to interconnect local generation. The substation will have two modular control enclosures for new protection, control, metering, and communication equipment (PCMC). The protection and control equipment will allow sectionalizing of the 110 kV transmission system and of the substation in a manner to localize the impacted facilities and maintain service to the upstream loads during a fault condition. The overall design is IEC compliant and specifically, the PCMC design is IEC 61850 compliant and conforms to the Afghanistan National Load Control Center requirements. The bus configuration is a breaker and a half scheme designed to have a high level of reliability and to enable the performance of circuit breaker and switch maintenance. The wire bus system and the equipment are sized to match the capacity at KBK. In addition to the transformers, three banks of 20 kV switchgear will be installed, with bus ties between each pair. Local generation will be connected via dedicated feeders. This configuration will allow for future interconnection of the 20 kV generation to the 110 kV grid. The layout of the substation has been organized to accommodate future expansion including four future 110 kV line positions: one for a Kandahar south loop 110 kV line, one for a future NEPS-SEPS transmission line, one for a future 110/20 kV transformer, and one for future reactive power compensation. Additional facilities are provided to support construction. The location is anticipated to be at the old Russian Power Plant. The technical requirements for this substation will be comparable to the Durai Junction and Kandahar Breshna Kot substations. The detail engineering, minor procurement, and construction work will be subcontracted using USAID procurement processes and procedures. The subcontract tenders are evaluated on technical, commercial, and local content basis. This work is anticipated to take 30 months to complete, depending on land availability and security. The land decision will be dependent upon finalizing the 110 kV transmission line right of way between KBK and KE. LBG/B&V will provide construction management, safety management, and quality control services to ensure that the subcontract work is completed to the requirements. As construction progresses from below grade work to above grade work, the B&V staff will transition by technical discipline from Breshna Kot substation to East substation. Using both the Substation subcontract and the major equipment subcontracts, technical training will be provided to local personnel. In addition, local personnel will be utilized as shadows to key technical and project management roles to support Afghan capacity building objectives. As with the B&V personnel, the local personnel

48

are anticipated to transition by technical discipline from Breshna Kot substation to East substation as the work progresses Using the safety personnel and quality control personnel, startup and commissioning support will be on-site to ensure a timely transfer of connections from the old substation to the new substation. 110 kV Transmission Line from Kandahar Breshna Kot Substation to Kandahar East Substation: A new 110 kV transmission line is planned to be constructed to interconnect the new East Substation with the Breshna Kot Substation. The line route, and thus length has not been determined; however, for work planning purposes, the route is nominally assumed to be approximately 40 km through both urban and commercial areas of Kandahar. A site visit will be conducted to review the area. A preliminary route will be identified that could be used solely to estimate the types and quantities of structures required. With a margin for changes, structure counts will be developed. Currently, B&V is tendering replacement structures for the 110 kV Kajakai Kandahar transmission line. If acceptable, the estimated structures for the KBK KE route will be procured through this tender process, reducing the overall project duration. Once a route has been identified, land secured, and the applicable land rights documentation recorded, subcontracts will be issued for the detailed engineering work (surveying, soil sampling, structure design, etc), procurement of the balance of materials, and construction. Three subcontracts are anticipated to be issued, each for approximately 1/3 of the route. This approach should result in an expedited schedule, such that the transmission line completion aligns with the KE substation completion. As with the Substation subcontracts, transmission line construction technical training will be provided to local personnel. In addition, local personnel will be utilized as shadows to key technical and project management roles to support Afghan capacity building objectives. The overall schedule is highly dependent upon securing the final transmission line route and corresponding right of way agreements. This work is anticipated to take 24 months if land rights are received with the notice to proceed and the route aligns with the preliminary route design. Diesel Generation at Kandahar Breshna Kot Substation: The project includes replacement of the 14 KTA 50 generators at KBK. Currently, a detailed assessment of replacement options is being conducted. Upon completion of this assessment a tender will be developed to replace the generating capacity originally provided by the KTA 50 plant. f. Diesel Thermal Power Plants Operations and Maintenance: The objective of this project is to provide operation and maintenance services and capacity building for five diesel power plants of Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) in southern Afghanistan (Kandahar, Lashkar Gah, Musa Qala, Qalat and Tirin Kot) and for the Aybak power plant in Samangan province. The aim is to provide a reliable electric energy supply to the surrounding communities until longer-term solutions are implemented. The Musa Qala Genset is operational but not running due to lack of fuel caused by insurgent activities. - The USAID funded AIRP project can be divided into two primary task areas: to continue during the emergency period to provide O&M technical and material support, and to develop the capacity of DABS to accept all duties and responsibilities, including organizational management and individual development.

49

In 2003, USAID recognized the need to provide emergency diesel generated power to Kandahar, Lashkar Gah and Qalat. In the same period, the World Bank provided emergency diesel generators to eight provincial towns, including Aybak, Musa Qala, and Tirin Kot. The intent of these actions was to provide immediate sources of electrical energy to the respective areas while longer term and more sustainable lower cost solutions were being developed. - The power plants operated and maintained through this project have an immediate effect on the lives of the people who live in the communities served. The power generated feeds into the local distribution system and ultimately benefits numerous families, small businesses, and industrial enterprises. Through its support for these various power projects, USAID hopes to improve peoples lives and help restore normalcy, especially in southern Afghanistan. - Began joint operations with CCN staff performing all O&M, logistics with expat shadowing for Transfer of Power Plant to be completed no later than August 2011. - The Kandahar DPP staff expects to rebuild generator set alternators (11 total) by April 2011. g. SEPS Funding Issues: The following table indicates the funding gaps that need to be addressed to enhance the quality of electric energy service to nearly 800,000 residents of the Helmand River Valley, inclusive of Lashkar Gah, and Kandahar. The priorities indicated are founded on the view of progressive system development. The ROM costs is an estimate only and needs verification: Table 10: SEPS Funding Gaps Priorities

Estimated ROM Costs (rounded to nearest $1 Million) are from the AIRP. Notes: 1. Construction duration noted above assumes detail design and procurement completion in order to begin construction. Detail design and procurement time periods vary but may add up to 6 8 months to schedule unless pre-completed. 2. Hyderabad cost per customer connection reflects all equipment and construction costs to take electricity service into circuit breakers within the end users premises. All other approaches to distribution development tend to create social issues as well as ample opportunity for the collection of unwarranted payments by end users. 3. Kandahar Commercialization efforts are ongoing under the USAID funded AIRP program. The long term sustainability of donors contributions to development of electric infrastructure in Afghanistan depends upon the ability of DABS to operate as a commercially effective organization. The initial thrust of this effort is to address revenue collection issues. Seven Kandahar billing and collection staff has been trained in the billing and collection system used by Kabul Electric Department which is to be implemented in Kandahar. In addition five Kandahar DABS staff was trained in technical loss elimination.

Completion of the project is expected by March 2011 (from October 2009). - The MV/LV underground cable work is in good progress and 18 transformers are installed in place and 4 transformers charged with MV Switch fuses. The LV switchboards and 55 feeder pillars have been installed. One transformer building in Shairpur Naqlia is constructed and the transformer and switchboards have been installed on a temporary basis. - Construction of nine more transformer buildings is completed so far in the Shar-e-Naw, Wazir Akbar Khan and Taimani areas with three of them completed with installation of transformers in them. - Overhead MV/LV distribution network construction work is yet to start. The contractor recently started their work to establish a pole manufacturing factory in Pul-e-Khumri. The project is financed by ARTF Grant No. TF091120-AF managed by World Bank.

e. GIRoA Funded Project - MEW 300/4, Lots 1 4 are contracts funded by the GIRoA with KEC International (India) and Siemens Corporation (Pakistan) for rehabilitation and expansion of a portion of the Kabul City MV and LV Distribution System, including rehabilitation of Junction Stations 1, 5 and 10 (partial), and construction of a new substation at Botkhak with 2 x 40 MVA Transformer Bays. MEW 300/4 (Lots 1 to 4) Kabul Distribution Enhancement Project is expected to provide about 40 MVA of transformer rehabilitation and about 60 MVA of transformer expansion. All the above work will be completed by February 2011. KEC International: MEW 300/4, Lots 2 and 3 for Supply and Installation of Kabul Distribution Enhancement Project: The areas of Kabul City for enhancement (expansion) are Kotal Khairkhana to Chimtala Hussainkot, Paanch Saad Famili, Akab Hangara, Resh Khor, Rahman Mina and Ahmad Shah Mina. The areas covered for rehabilitation are the distribution systems served by JS-1 and JS-5. Lots 2 and 3 are within the scope of work of KEC International and include expansion of the Kabul City MV and LV Distribution System. The scheduled completion date was extended from July 2009 to February 2011. Junction Station 5 works has been completed and the Station has been commissioned and energized in the last week of June 2010. Junction Station 1 works is in final stage of completion. Upon energization, it will provide reliable electricity supply in the areas served. Junction Station 10 will also go for partial (DC system) rehabilitation. Project delays were caused by various reasons such as Right of Way, customs clearance, and security problems especially after the recent attack in guest houses. Considerable Indian experts and engineers of the contractor left the country, and the works have badly slowed down. DABS and MEW have determined that Kabul City MV and LV Distribution System renovation and extension priorities be North Substation to Junction Station 2; North West Substation to Junction Station 4; and Chimtala to Junction Station 9. MEW will work with KEC International to complete these priority lines, and then new priorities can be developed. Siemens Consortium, Pakistan: MEW 300/4, Lots 1 and 4 for Supply and Installation of Kabul Distribution Enhancement Project:

Lot 1: Design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of 110/20kV substation at Botkhak including 2 x 40 MVA 110kV/20kV power transformers; complete rehabilitation of 20 kV Junction Stations 1 and 5, and partial rehabilitation of Junction Station 10 (DC System). Lot 4: Manufacturing and supply of equipment for Lots 2 and 3 work including 3 phase load break switches and accessories, LV distribution boards and LV feeder pillars, meter boxes, surge arrestors, and 3 phase indoor and outdoor type distribution transformers. Contract completion is currently February 2011 (from July 2009). Currently, 162 distribution transformers have been installed (and in process of being commissioned). . The Butkhak Substation works are substantially completed except for emergency indoor and outdoor Lighting, air conditioning etc, for which temporary arrangements were made to facilitate commissioning and charging of the Substation. Subsequently the Butkhak Station was commissioned and charged during 1st week of September 2010. The Butkhak Substation will be directly feeding power supply to adjoining areas of Butkhak (Ahmadshah Mina, New Industrial Park, Butkhak Industrial Area, Deh Sabse Area, Eastern and southern part of Butkhak) and will be sharing of load of Breshna Kot and Kabul East Substations that are currently overloaded. The project is delayed due to custom clearance formalities, LC extension delay, power shut down delay and Right of Way problems. Delays further added due to deteriorated security situation especially after militant attack in guest houses in Kabul causing the Testing and Commissioning engineers of the contractor to demobilize.

World Bank Funded Project - MEW 301: Rehabilitation of 110 kV D/CKT Transmission Line from Naghlu HPP to East S/S to Tower E31 (towards North S/S) The project is complete and in service.

g. World Bank Funded Project - MEW 302: Naghlu HPP Rehabilitation (Contractor: Technopromexport (TPE), Russia. Project Management: SMEC International) The project is to rehabilitate the four Naghlu HPP units to sustain nameplate rating at 25 MW each (100 MW total). The project completion date is July 2012. Unit 4 completed pre-commissioning testing in July 2010. No load tests were completed, but commissioning postponed due to delay in customs duty exemption for the UPS, and delays in Afghanistan visa for specialists. UPS installation and commissioning completed in August 2010, and trial operation (test service period) including 15 days continuous operation was successfully completed on September 24, 2010. Unit 3 rehabilitation (dismantling and preliminary inspection) began on September 20, 2010. The Fire Extinguishing System, and Oil Handling and Purification System work has been completed. Also, the Ventilation System and Powerhouse Crane rehabilitation work has been completed. Over the next two months, work will include disassembly and inspection, anticorrosive treatment, machining of turbine parts, generator rotor rehabilitation and assembly, new generator stator installation, and main valve rehabilitation. The first group of power transformers replacement is planned for November 2010, subject to DABS disconnecting the old transformers and timely visa support for the specialists. Reportedly, delays in obtaining tax release certificates are causing major delays in receiving equipment and materials. The transport companies are experiencing

57

considerable losses and substantial difficulties in equipment shipments from the Russian Federation to the Naghlu HPP. Major issues are delays in project implementation and management, delays in customs clearance, delays in Afghanistan work permits and visas, and delays due to deteriorating security situation including recent prohibition of private security companies.

h. World Bank Funded Project - MEW 500, Lot 1 is construction of 2 x 110 kV D/CKT Overhead Transmission Lines from Chimtala to North West Substation (6.9 km) and 1 x 110 kV D/CKT Transmission Lines from North West to North Substation (5.0 km) and to Tower E31 (4.5 km, and 1.1 km underground) by KEC International. Completion is expected by March 2011 (from December 2008). The purpose of this project is to interconnect the NEPS with Kabul City via the Chimtala 220/110kV substation on to the Kabul North West and North 110kV substations through new transmission lines. The Chimtala S/S to North West S/S Transmission Lines are completed; the North West S/S to North S/S has been completed, but was delayed due to Right-of-Way problems; the North S/S to E31 is delayed due to Right-of-Way encroachment. MOI/ISAF compound is being built over the approved cable route. Main issues affecting the timing and cost of the project are Right-of-Way encroachment causing re-routing of the Chimtala S/S to North West S/S, 2 x 110 kV D/CKT Overhead Transmission Lines; the Municipality withdrew approval of previously approved Right-of-Way from North West S/S to North S/S to E31 in October 2008. The Right-of-Way was re-approved after extensive negotiations in March 2009; the agreement was taken by the Kabul Municipality, Ministry of Transport, and Ministry of Interior for the 110 kV cable route, followed by commencement of construction on the route by MOI. Other delays are due to procurement delays by contractor (steel monopoles); delays due to deteriorating security on equipment delivery routes; and delays due to re-work and re-justification on route approval. The Transmission Lines from North substation to E31 (and on to East substation) is an essential link between Uzbek and Tajik supplies from the North, the Hydro plants, and the 105 MW Diesel Power Plant to the East of Kabul City. The work must be completed but could be compromised. This is a critical part of the NEPS 110 kV transmission network. Even though the route was approved by relevant authorities including the Municipality, the development over the cable route was in the Municipality Master Plan. Right-of-Way clearance for the section from the North S/S to the termination tower of existing eastern line approved by MOTCA for the line and underground cable to cross the fly corridor around 500 m from the runway threshold. Survey work, profile design and demining of cable route corridor across airport completed. Consequently additional materials must be supplied. Due long period of idle work caused by Right-of-Way issue, the contractor is not able to continue work under the contract conditions, and the contractor submitted commercial proposal and implementation schedule for supply of additional equipment and installation work. The cost proposal for balance work is subject to be negotiated and approved by MEW and World Bank no objection. i. World Bank Funded Project - MEW 500, Lot 2 is rehabilitation and extension of the 110/20(15) kV Kabul City North West and North Substations by Safa Nicu (Iran). Completion is expected by December 2010 (from November 2008).

58

The purpose of this project is to upgrade the Kabul City North and North West substations to enable delivery of the added capacity from the NEPS 220kV system into Kabul City. The North West Substation work (including six 110 kV Line Bays; 2 x 40 MVA, 110/20(15) kV Transformer Bays; and 19 x 20 kV Switchgear Panels) was completed in July 2009. The North Substation work (including four 110 kV Line Bays; 2 x 40 MVA, 110/20(15) kV Transformer Bays; and 19 x 20 kV Switchgear Panels) is 98% complete. The main reasons for the delay of the project is financial sanctions requiring cash financing of equipment purchases; deteriorating security on transport routes caused re-routing through Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan with resultant delays; equipment damage (110 kV CBs) caused by truck accident en-route; delays in issue of customs duty exemption letters caused extensive delays at border entry points; major procurement delays by contractor; contractor cash flow issues during construction; and delays in mobilizing commissioning staff. North Substation communication system for tele-protection, telephone and data transfer between substations not completed yet; completion certificate for North S/S and Operational Certificate for both Substations will be issued after clarification of outstanding items from the punch list. Six months of Operations and Maintenance training commenced on 01 June 2010.

Note: Counterpart funds to cover all taxes and duties. Physical Outputs of Tranche 2: Transmission Line: This component is the construction of a D/CKT 220kV transmission line, approximately 30 kilometers in length, linking Chimtala substation in the north to the proposed new Kabul Southwest substation in the south.

59

Kabul Southwest Substation: A new substation in the south west of Kabul to (a) service the electrical distribution needs to South West Kabul; (b) strengthen the 220 kV / 110 kV ring main around Kabul (with future plans for a 110 kV line to service Breshna Kot) and (c) allow expansion of the transmission network to the South East Power System so that Uzbek and Tajik imported power can be provided to Pul-e-Alam, Gardez, and Ghazni in the future. Kabul Distribution Network (Dasht-e-Barchi): The project comprises development and reconstruction of the 20 kV network and rehabilitation of low voltage network, serving 55,000 households. The construction of grid substations for the city is financed by Tranche 2. Distribution Components: Approximately 100 distribution transformers from 400 - 600MVA are needed to convert the entire Kabul distribution system from the current 15 kV to the planned 20 kV medium voltage system. Non-Physical Outputs of Tranche 2: DABS Management: DABS is a newly corporatized entity that requires substantial and continued support to build its management and organizational capacity to implement the project and to undertake its expected functions in a sustainable manner. Consultants will be recruited to build sufficient managerial and organizational capacity at DABS through the provision of necessary training, analysis, and advisory to the management, as well as to the technical staff of DABS. Establishment of Revolving Fund: A revolving pool of funds will be created for capturing MFF on lending repayment for use in the energy sector. Technical assistance will be provided for developing specific mechanism of the revolving fund that will be generated by the recovery of the sub-loans provided under the MFF to be used to subsidize tariffs for the poor and vulnerable. The tariffs are expected to increase from $0.04 to $0.08/kWh to at least ensure cost recovery, and the affordability by the poor and the vulnerable is an issue. Distribution Planning System: This component is to build DABS's capacity in distribution planning system in order for DABS to be able to effectively engage in planning the distribution system. In addition to the software provision and a demonstrative pilot system planning of one of the districts, training of appropriate staff at DABS will be undertaken to ensure that the system will be effectively adopted and used in a sustainable manner.

E. RENEWABLE ENERGY AND RURAL ELECTRIFICATION CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES: 1. Afghan-French-German Energy Initiative (AFGEI): It is noted from the AFGEI Newsletter No. 8 (September 2010) that Afghanistan has signed the IRENA Convention (International Renewable Energy Agency, http://www.irena.org) that is currently signed by 148 states and the European Union. The IRENA Convention is making a huge effort to promote clean energy in the world and support governments in the implementation of policies and projects. a. At MEW, Directorate of Renewable Energy under the Deputy Minister of Energy is responsible for the development of renewable energy technologies such as hydropower, solar energy and wind energy. The German Technical Cooperation supports the Directorate in the measurement of wind energy potential in Badakhshan, Baghlan, Balkh, Kunduz, and Takhar Provinces. The USAID Afghan Clean Energy Program (ACEP) supports the Directorate in the measurement of wind energy potential in Balkh and Herat Provinces. b. GTZ ESRA is conducting workshops with the MEW Renewable Energy Directorate to assess and implement institutional and human resource capacity development, and establish action items to improve the quality of the MEW Renewable Energy Directorate work. c. GERES with the French Global Environment Facility (FFEM) is undertaking Energy Efficiency activities in Bamyan and Kabul Provinces in cooperation with USAID South Asia Regional Initiative for Energy (SARI/Energy). d. GERES has published two documents that highlight value and application of energy efficiency measures in private and public buildings. The Energy Efficiency Guide Book is intended for technical people implementing or designing construction projects. The Guide Book can be downloaded from the GERES website at http://www.geres.eu/en/technical-guides. The Energy Efficiency Guideline is a brief introduction to energy efficiency (insulation materials, techniques, references and responsible companies) intended for principals. GERES (Groupe Energies Renouvelables, Environnement et Solidarits) is a French non-profit NGO created in 1976 after the first Oil Shock. Today, 108 staff work on innovative and sustainable development projects in France and in eight African and Asian countries. GERES teams are particularly involved in the implementation of engineering solutions, for development and providing specific technical expertise for environmental conservation, climate change mitigation and adaptation, reducing energy poverty, and improving the livelihood of the poor. 2. GTZ (German) Technical Cooperation: The GTZ Energy Program Renewable Energy Supply for Rural Areas (ESRA) supports the Afghanistan government to increase the supply of electricity in rural areas in concert with the Afghanistan National Development Strategy. In general, GTZ is responsible for training of the HPP operations and management staff for the GTZ and KfW funded projects. GTZ has conducted surveys and prepared Reports on Micro Hydro Power (MHP) Surveys in Badakhshan (June August 2008) and Takhar (April 2010) Provinces. a. For Badakhshan, 173 MHPs were surveyed with a total installed capacity of about 5.2 MW. Of this amount, about 2.9 MWs (57%) were operational during the survey, serving 11,974 homes (about 8.5% of the population). 38 of the 173 MHPs surveyed do not produce electricity due to incomplete construction, defective equipment, lack of tools, or lack of skilled technicians. Of MHPs surveyed, 37% operated by Community Development Companies, 33% operated by DABS, and 7% operated by private operators were not working at the time of the survey. GTZ expressed concern regarding the capabilities of the Community Development Companies.

61

b. For Takhar Province, the survey was conducted from 15 October 19 November 2009. The total installed capacity for 160 sites visited is about 4.4 MW. About 82% of the surveyed units were operational, with 31 units not operational due to incomplete construction, defective equipment, lack of tools, and lack of skilled technicians. Almost all (about 95%) units generate under-voltage power (e.g. less than 200 V for a 220 V Distribution System). c. GTZ ESRA is including the potential development of hydropower in Badakhshan Province in its Provincial Development Plan. The Governor of Badakhshan Province had identified electrification projects (decentralized hydropower stations and associated distribution grids) up to 9.5 MW to serve 235,000 people. 3. ICE Renewable Energy and Rural Electrification Subcommittee: GTZ reported on outcomes of efforts over the past two years to install 1 MW of decentralized capacity in the north to reach 54,000 people. Under construction is a micro-hydro plant in Badakhshan that will provide electricity to 25,000 people. Ensuing years will bring hybrid solar and wind velocity systems targeted at Badakhshan, Takhar, Kunduz, Baghlan, and Bamyan provinces. KFW noted that it is preparing energy plans for Badakhshan and will do the same for other provinces. It has identified hydro power opportunities and is pursuing a pilot project that combines packaged solar and wind diesel hybrids. The Afghanistan Clean Energy Program (ACEP) noted that renewable energy is the most ambitious of its USAID funded programs with plans to develop and deploy hydro power, solar power, and wind power. Solar projects will involve street lighting (ACEP plans on installing 453 solar power street lights in Kandahar that will provide light throughout the night) and solar powered schools as well as the installation of solar systems in clinics, homes and water pumping systems. Wind farms are foreseen in Panjshir and Kabul that are capable of powering manufacturing plants and water pumps. Programs to stress Energy Efficiency entail surveys and instructional settings that indicate the value of saving electricity. The ACEP also combines capacity building with energy policy to develop engineers and specialists in the renewable energy field. At present, 56 students at Kabul University are taking a class in renewable energy. A renewable Energy Lab and internships are on tap. The ACEP four year projection totals 310,000 beneficiaries of 5.2 MWs of power at a cost of $23.5 million. USACE is also committed to renewable energy generation and is currently conducting six feasibility studies for hydro-electric dams that could supply 1,500 MWs per year. USACE is also interested in solar lighting (which is being installed in Kabul in the next few months) and bio-gas systems. 4. KfW (German) Development Bank: The Renewable Energy Program for Electricity Supply to Rural Centres and Areas aims at the economical development of the selected district centers and surrounding rural areas of Faizabad, Keshim, Khanabad and Chak-e-Wardak, and at improved living standards and conditions for the population living in these areas by providing reliable and affordable electricity supply from mainly renewable energy sources. Overall, the program will thus support the political stabilization process within the concerned regions. The Executing Agency for the Programme is the Ministry of Energy and Water. The Programme proceeds under the framework established by the various agreements between Afghanistan and Germany, such as the Financing and Project Agreement with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Energy and Water. a. Component 1: Construction of the Chak-e-Wardak Hydro Power Plant and Associated Distribution System: The objective of the rehabilitation of the Chak-e-Wardak HPP and the associated distribution system is the provision of reliable and affordable electricity supply in the Wardak Valley in order to support

62

the economical development within the valley. Project implementation is still on hold. A MoU has been drafted regarding roles and responsibilities of the organizations involved in the project, but the MoU is still under review. The project could be cancelled due to cost and security concerns restricting access to the project area. b. Component 2: Construction of Hydropower Stations in Faizabad and Keshim: The objective of the Faizabad and Keshim Hydropower Stations is the provision of reliable and affordable electricity supply to the selected districts and major towns of the northern provinces, which are not connected to the countrys electrical network, in order to support their economical development and to increase the populations living standard. The Governor of Badakhshan provided support in negotiations with land owners and concerned offices. The Provincial security situation has been relatively calm, but recent attacks and infiltration of AGF in Keshim and neighboring Tagab district could have negative impacts on project implementation if it continues. Final design and tendering is ongoing, and the environmental approval process has been completed by NEA. However, submission of approval documents is delayed due to pending decision as to who is paying the 100,000 AF per project location approval fee. There are also delays in getting customs clearance and registration for armoured vehicles. The final design report on civil construction for both Faizabad and Keshim were submitted in September 2010. Discussions regarding upgrading of the Faizabad power supply transmission and distribution system were initiated by the Governor of Badakhshan Province. Proposals by the consultant and GTZ ESRA Programme are under consideration by KfW Development Bank. c. Component 3: Rehabilitation of Khanabad Hydropower Station I (1.7 MW): As with Component 2, the objective of the Faizabad and Keshim Hydropower Stations is the provision of reliable and affordable electricity supply to the selected districts and major towns of the northern provinces, which are not connected to the countrys electrical network, in order to support their economical development and to increase the populations living standard. Work on the Kunduz to Taleqan 220 kV transmission line (ADB MFF Tranche 2) which is important for the Khanabad power station has not started yet. The Khanabad HPP rehabilitation contract is still under negotiation. Also, the security situation in Khanabad remains volatile, and the security situation in Kunduz is worsening. Submission of approval documents is delayed due to pending decision as to who is paying the 100,000 AF per project location approval fee. There are also delays in getting customs clearance and registration for armoured vehicles. d. Rehabilitation of Khanabad Hydropower Station Units 1 and 2: The Kunduz District of Khanabad is starved for electricity for social development and economic growth. The expected power electricity imports from Tajikistan are seasonal only and would be insufficient for power needs in the area. The people of the Federal Republic of Germany, through its implementing agency KfW Development Bank, are rehabilitating Khanabad Unit 1 that is in the final design stage, and Khanabad Unit 2. Khanabad Unit 1 will provide 1.7 MW of vitally needed electricity. However, this amount of electricity is insufficient to serve the population of 145,000 people (based on statistics from the CSO, 2008 2009). The Khanabad Unit 2 Project is a new 10.4 MW project located on the Khanabad River in the Khanabad District of Kunduz. The intake, headrace canal and part of the forebay have already been completed as construction began earlier based on a feasibility study conducted by Water and Power Consulting Services (WAPCOS) of India. However, much repair work is

63

needed. Construction duration is estimated at 3.5 years, and the proposed Khanabad Unit 2 Project is expected to have minimal impact on land acquisition and resettlement. The Khanabad Units 1 and 2 HPP would be connected to the NEPS via a 28 km transmission Line running to the main 220 kV substation at the City of Kunduz, and are expected to have minimal impact on land acquisition and resettlement in the area. e. Rehabilitation of Pul-e-Khumri Hydro Power Plants Units 1 and 2: This project involves the management, planning, design, material, labor, and equipment to complete rehabilitation of the Pul-e-Khumri HPP Units 1 and 2 resulting in a combined generation capacity of 13.5 MW. f. Lower Kokcha River HPP: Design for a 50 MW Lower Kokcha River Water Irrigation and HPP Project. The Lower Kokcha River Water Irrigation and HPP Project will require involvement with other donors to complete. g. Provincial Electrification Northern Afghanistan (PENA): KfW Development Bank is planning an appraisal mission in Q1, CY2011 for the Pul-e-Khumri 1 and 2, Khanabad 2, and the mini-hydro projects. h. Important Issue: Pending issues affecting the projects are responsibility for payment of fee for the Environmental approval (through NEA) which is 100,000 AF per site. Additionally, the volatile security situation could affect the projects as the project areas are not always accessible. i. Upcoming activities: Development of an operation and management system, and qualification of operational staff for the Hydropower Plants is the task of GTZ ESRA Programme planned to begin in January 2011. DABS and MEW needs to address the Khanabad distribution system and associated substations that need to be ready when the Khanabad power stations commence operation. 5. USAID Funded Project: The Afghanistan Clean Energy Program (ACEP) aims to foster energy independence and development through increased use of renewable energy resources. The project will also promote of energy efficiency while spurring the development of Afghanistans renewable energy equipment manufacturing capacities. The Afghanistan Clean Energy Program (ACEP) continued to make strides in working towards program goals during the quarter. Follow up listed below took place after field assessments for rehabilitation or new installation of hydro power stations in Baghlan, Badakhshan, Bamyan, Khost, Nangarhar, Panjshir, Parwan, and Kandahar. Rehabilitation of hydropower station in Panjshir province was underway and civil works were expected to be initiated following some delays in community buy in. Among recent developments, activities and accomplishments for this period: a. Ghazni Solar Clinics: In each clinic, two 5 kWp photovoltaic (PV) systems will be installed powering lights, refrigerators, incubators, centrifuges, etc. One Ghazni 5 kW PV installation was completed for the district health clinic Tormai in Khawja Omari; however, the array and battery bank for a second system destined for Ramak in Deh Yak was stolen by Taliban in Wardak during transport and the SESA technician kidnapped and later released unharmed. b. Nuristan, Bamyan Schools: USAID approved solar installations for four Nuristan schools, 15 kWp total, and 2 Bamyan schools, 4 kWp total. c. Wind Monitors Arrive: Wind resource monitoring equipment arrived at the Port of Karachi from SESA. d. Solar Pumps Shipped: Twenty five solar water pumps are4 being shipped to Afghanistan by SESA.

64

e. Kandahar Streetlights: Kandahar solar streetlights (453) are being shipped to Afghanistan by Zularistan. ACEP traveled to Kandahar to meet with the city mayor and governor in order to discuss details of a much anticipated project to install solar street lights in the city of Kandahar and in nearby Panjawayi district. ACEP has already procured 452 stand alone solar PV street lighting systems (120 Wp), each of which comprises an encased lamp, a PV panel, deep-cycle battery, charge controller and pole. ACEP will continue coordinating with local decision makers to ensure the sustainability of these systems. f. Solar Home Systems: A contract was issued to Bahktar Solar to provide 750 SHS (80 Wp systems). g. Solar Refrigerators: Solar refrigerator proposals were received from SESA, ETC, IMO, and Zularistan. h. Herat Wind-Electric: Technical specification was written for wind-electric water pumping systems for Herat. i. Mini-Hydro: Additional Topchi/Bamiyan MHP design drawings made for RFP development. j. Lanterns Selected: Six PV lanterns selected and POs issued for 10,000 from ETC, QMC, and Tata. ACEP evaluated lanterns from 20 vendors as part of a procurement of 10,000 PV lanterns. These 1-2 Wp systems are to be used to assist Kuchi nomads in Afghanistan with basic LED light. An earlier pilot with a dozen solar lamps was implemented with Kuchi residing in Nangarhar province. During the reporting period, ACEP selected the best offers for five different lanterns based on price and performance evaluations (hours on, lumens, durability, etc.) Lantern distribution will begin in September. k. Badakhshan Power: Badakhshan MHP PNFs completed for 5 communities. l. Kabul University Energy Class: Renewable energy class is underway at Kabul University FE for 54 students. Construction began for the Renewable Energy Laboratory. Approval was obtained from USAID to purchase a I-V Curve Tracer for the RE Lab from DayStar. Wind energy textbooks arrived from Winrock. m. Turbine Workshop: On August 9, ACEP held a turbine manufactures needs assessment workshop at the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development for over 30 Afghan turbine manufactures from across the country. During the workshop, participants listed key challenges, priorities and expectations, and expressed the desire for on-the-job training in the construction of advanced turbine models and to form a turbine manufacturers association. n. Paktiya MHP: On August 29, ACEP engineers traveled to the town of Ahmad Abad located in Afghanistans eastern province of Paktiya to explore ways to complete transmission works of a 300 kW micro hydropower system, which was constructed by Aryu Universal Construction Company in 2007 but never finished due to security reasons. o. Solar Home Systems (SHS): ACEP is currently procuring 750 SHS (80 Wp each) for use in Kapisa, Kandahar, Khost and other provinces. These systems will provide basic electric lighting and for individual homes, as well as clinics, mosques and schools. RFP proposals have been reviewed and the best offer was selected. Installation of SHS is expected to begin in October 2010. p. Wind Monitoring: ACEP traveled to Herat province and identified suitable sites for wind-electric water pumping and wind resource monitoring. Wind resource monitoring equipment is currently being shipped to Afghanistan from the United States. ACEP will install two meteorological towers in Balkh province and four towers in Herat province. q. Kabul University RE Instruction: On August 22, 2010 ACEP delivered its first renewable energy lecture to fourth-year students (seniors) at Kabul University.

65

The lectures are being delivered three times per week and are attended by electrical and mechanical engineers, male and female architects and two assistant professors. Topics for discussion include solar, thermal, wind, biogas, hydro power, and geothermal technologies, as well as energy efficiency. In tandem with the lectures, ACEP will establish a renewable energy laboratory to provide students with hands-on training of cutting-edge technologies applicable within the Afghan context. Based on the success of the first semester of instruction, specialized classes covering solar energy and micro and mini hydro power will be offered to students during the second semester. The main of objectives of the courses are to enable students to visualize opportunities for the implementation of renewable energy projects based on local energy resources and community needs, and to provide the necessary training for students to become professional and active stakeholders in this nascent sector in Afghanistan. 6. World Bank: The World Bank is developing an Afghanistan Rural Solar Project for lighting and cell phone charging. The World Bank is also providing solar powered lanterns in Bamyan, and helping to develop a market for solar products. a. The Afghanistan Rural Solar Electrification Project aims to achieve rapid expansion of access to basic electricity services - namely, small battery charging for lighting and mobile phones in remote communities, primarily via small, simple pico-solar products, using private commercial distribution channels as feasible. b. For individual private users, the pico-solar products under review are an increasing variety of lanterns or equivalent designs (desk lamps, ceiling lights, torch-lights) that use newer types of lighting technologies (power LEDs or highefficiency Light Emitting Diodes) and batteries; some provide battery-to-battery charging of mobile phones and similar small ICT devices. c. Compared to the conventional component-based solar home systems, these are lower-cost (wholesale Kabul cost ranging from US$ 10-50 depending on type, size, brand), and require no expert installation or maintenance except for battery replacement (and hence also characterized as cash-and-carry or plug-andplay). Some products have a 1-3 Watt PV panel charger, some have even smaller PV charger integrated in the product. While the light output is typically less than that of a 7 Watt compact fluorescent lamp used with solar home systems, it is believed that users can purchase multiple pico-solar products, some with controllable light output and rapidly transition away from kerosene use. d. In addition to the individual private users, the project will also target public institutional users for whom newer configurations of solar systems including portable lighting, campus and street lighting, and ICT use. e. The project will begin in Bamyan and Daikundi provinces, and then expanded to other provinces, adjusting to consumer responses as the implementation capacity is strengthened. The project will be housed in the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD).

66

F. IMPORTED POWER STATUS: Imported power from Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, in conjunction with loss reduction activities, is vitally important for DABS commercial viability. The increased availability of electricity for the population directly contributes to an increase in a countrys Gross Domestic Product. The imported power costs less than diesel-generated power, resulting in considerable savings to the government in fuel costs. 1. Tajikistan: A 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) was signed between Afghanistan and Tajikistan on 29 August 2008 for the import of up to 300 MW of seasonal power from Tajikistan. Construction of the interconnection in both countries is in progress by KEC International (MEW-699 / ADB Loan 2304: Regional Power Transmission Interconnection Project, Project Management by SMEC International). The MEW-699 Project is expected to be completed by August 2011. 2. Uzbekistan: An agreement has been signed with Uzbekenergo for power import of up to 120 MW for 2010 over the 220 kV D/CKT Transmission Lines. Reportedly, Uzbekistan can provide up to 200 MW if requested to do so. A new agreement is needed with Uzbekenergo since acceptance of the second circuit of the 220 kV D/CKT Transmission Line for power up to 300 MW. Imported power to Kabul City can increase to 240 MW after completion of the USAID funded Reactive Power Compensation Project, and completion of World bank, ARTF and GIRoA projects to rehabilitate and extend the Kabul City MV and LV Distribution System (MEW 300/2, MEW 300/3, and MEW 300/4, Lots 1 4. 3. Turkmenistan: The Ministry of Energy and Industry of Turkmenistan (MoEI) and the Ministry of Energy and Water of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (MEW) met in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan on February 24 25, 2010 to initiate a framework for continued delivery of electricity to Afghanistan and allow expanding power trade between the two countries. The amount and tariff of delivering electrical energy will be decided annually. MEW noted that a long term PPA is needed with Turkmenistan that has not yet been achieved. ADB offered to help with the communications between the GIRoA and Turkmenistan regarding the PPA, and also noted that it was planning to hire Afghanistan and CAR Regional Consultants to help with the interface.

G. CAPACITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: The Inter-Ministerial Commission for Energy established an ICE Subcommittee for Capacity Building to better integrate and coordinate Energy Sector capacity building activities. The ICE Subcommittee for Capacity Building is chaired by the MEW Deputy Minister of Energy. The MEW Deputy Minister of Energy noted that integrated and coordinated capacity building activities across the ministries and donors would substantially improve the skills of Afghan engineers and technicians that are currently weak. The USAID funded Afghanistan Clean Energy Program (ACEP) noted that it is developing a plan to develop skills at Kabul University integral to Solar, Wind and MicroHydro Power Plants and related applications. The ACEP is also preparing a demonstration on Solar Water Heaters at Kabul University. It has also noted that capacity building activities needs to go beyond training in computers and English language. The Ministry of Economy / ICE Chairman will monitor and evaluate Energy Sector capacity building activities. SMEC International is conducting a training needs assessment for the MEW Policy Unit. The AIRP is training local staff on conduct of surveys and Diesel Power Plant (DPP) Operations and Maintenance (O&M). GTZ is designing a training program for renewable energy. 1. KfW Development Bank and GTZ Technical Cooperation Projects: a. KfW recognizes that DABS can improve technical knowledge of staff to operate and maintain Hydro Power Plants, Substations and Junction Stations by conducting training programs. The GTZ Energy Project (ESRA) is responsible for the training of operations and management staff for the Renewable Energy Programme for the Electricity Supply to Rural Centres and Areas and for the introduction of a management and operations system. GTZ and KfW are coordinating their activities in this regard. 2. USAID Funded Projects: a. AEAI Afghan Energy Capacity Building Program (AECB): DABS Highlights: Ten DABS technicians were trained at Powergrid Substations (very similar to NEPS Substations) in India and focused on substation circuit breakers/transformer maintenance for three months, returning to Afghanistan on September 9, 2010. Ten DABS engineers are also training at Powergrid Substations in India, focusing on transmission communication and protection systems. They will complete their training on October 19, 2010. The second group of 30 Post Graduate engineers completed their pre-training in Kabul and left on August 1, 2010 for 40 weeks of training at NPTI in India in the two technical areas DABS recommended. They are split in two groups with 15 in Hydro Power Plant training and 15 in Power Systems O&M training. They have their study break on November 13, 2010 and are expected to finish in May, 2011. The AECB DABS Advisors are supporting the repair of the NEPS transmission line between towers 114 and 121 which was erected with undersized conductor by mentoring DABS linemen. Re-conductoring with trained DABS linemen will prevent the potential of winter line problems when Kabuls NEPS demand increases significantly. The AECB DABS Advisors provided much support to the construction oversight and commissioning of the new 110 kV Botkhak Substation in the form of DABS operator training/testing/certifying. In addition, support was provided to DABS personnel in creating a punch-list of unfinished contractual items as the time for turn-over of the Botkhak Substation to DABS occurred.

68

The AECB DABS Advisors continue to support NEPS Substation and Switching Station personnel at all NEPS major locations with mentoring in the proper daily O&M of the NEPS facilities. The AECB DABS Sr. Transmission Advisors assisted DABS in the inspection/acceptance of the new, second 220 kV NEPS line from Uzbekistan to Pul-e-Khumri in Afghanistan. The AECB DABS Advisors are supporting DABS personnel in solving the load-shedding at the 110 kV Breshna Kot Substation. Multiple corrections are being pursued to overcome the substation transformer overloading during peak power usage times. USAID has asked AECB to work with DABS to study the potential of synchronizing the Afghan generated power feeding Kabul with the NEPS supplied Uzbek power. AECB has done some preliminary work in the U.S. to establish what is needed regarding the Uzbek power system to accurately model the total system, if they were connected and synchronized. AECB and DABS will continue discussions to formulate a plan of action. The AECB DABS Sr. Transmission Advisors continue to support and mentor DABS personnel in reviewing options regarding how more power from Turkmenistan can be transmitted to Afghanistan, specifically the Herat area. AECB training in computers and English has been accelerated at the hydro power plants of Naghlu, Surobi and Mahipar to increase the ability of the operators to understand the upgraded computer control systems at the hydro power plants. The two-plus months training program in Kabul will complete in July for the second group of 30 Post Graduate engineers before they go to India for 40 weeks of training at NPTI, 15 in Hydro Power Plant training and 15 in Power Systems O&M training.

MEW Highlights: An MEW Womens Leadership training course was completed and evaluation of the program was very positive. A graduation Certificate Presentation Ceremony was held at MEW and the Minister of Energy and Water was in attendance. MEW Sr. Technical Advisor mentored 13 different MEW engineers (three in more than one technical area) in generating technical documents, technical presentations, technical request for proposals and technical evaluation of proposals. MEW Sr. Policy Advisor continued to provide input to MEW on the Draft Electricity Law and support MEW in producing a revised Draft Electricity Law in English/Dari for Donors to comment on in October. He continued to support the MEW Planning Department by providing legal opinions on MEW legal situations (e.g. legal advice on a 200 MW MEW hydro project and other hydro power/irrigation projects). He participated in USAID meetings that discussed how the revised Draft Electricity Law could accommodate an independent power producer (IPP) power plant. AECB personnel continued to work with the MEW HR Department regarding the training currently being performed at MEW, this includes: MEW Database development, English and computer classes, a Project Management Training Program, HV Transmission Systems training, a Professional English class and Total Station training; with training courses accomplished in all but the HV Transmission Systems, which will start in October. ACEB held a major certificate distribution/graduation ceremony at MEW for the completion of five different energy sector training courses.

69

The AECB journalism advisor continued to mentor MEW personnel and a major accomplishment was the publication of five issues of the new MEW Newspaper. The Minister has directed the MEW Newspaper be uploaded on the new MEW Website. Two ICE Subcommittee for Capacity Building Donor Coordination meetings were held at MEW (the September meeting was cancelled because of internal activities). The committee began collecting the existing donor capacity building needs assessments for MEW/DABS. The committee will compile all the needs assessments and evaluate what needs areas are being addressed and which ones are not being addressed. The Civil Service Commission, Ministry of Higher Education and the two major Kabul Universities have been incorporated into the committee. A working group has been created to develop a capacity building strategy for the energy sector, involving all stakeholders and will be modeled after the Afghan National Development Strategy (ANDS). In addition a capacity building database is being created for ongoing donor capacity building as well as future efforts that are in the planning stages.

VTC Highlights: Refresher courses in Computer and English continued for over 250 VTC students. 270 students (in nine groups) are attending a practical electricity laboratory (taught by AECB personnel), which is scheduled to end in December, 2010. The COP and the VTC Director will work to increase DABS involvement with VTC and establish some needs-based curricula, possibly starting with a course on transformer repair. Approximately 90,000 instructional hours were provided to over 740 Afghan energy sector personnel at the various groups noted above. b. AIRP 105 MW Diesel Power Plant (Tarakhil): USAID / AIRP is providing ongoing Operations and Maintenance Services and Capacity Building to ensure that there is capability of DABS to operate and maintain the 105 MW DPP. Plant Operations Procedures: Procedures are being developed in English and Dari. DABS employees are currently studying and walking down the System Information Packages (SIP). DABS employees are taking written exams over each SIP that is given to them. Written test averages are increasing. Staff is pursuing wireless installation and training for the Computerized Materials Management System. c. AIRP National Load Control Center (NLCC): The DABS Chief Operating Officer observed the Factory Acceptance Testing of the SCADA System in Istanbul, Turkey. 12 DABS Engineers are in Istanbul for six months of training. The DABS Engineers will undergo six more months of training after the NLCC is installed at the 105 MW (Tarakhil) DPP site. OPGW field training for 4 DABS trainees has begun by NETRACON, planned at the Communication Institute of Lahore/ Pakistan in October 2010. d. AIRP Diesel Power Plant Operations and Maintenance: The objective is to support the O&M of diesel power plants located in Aybak, Kandahar, Lashkar Gah, Musa Qala, Qalat and Tirin Kot. Continued capacity building impacts include the following: - Training: Ongoing training has included: Assembling water and oil piping; cleaning of electrical panels; installing main alternators to KTA 50 Gensets; connecting main and control wiring from alternators to panels; 70

f.

South Asian Regional Initiative / Energy (SARI/E): The following training programs were carried on during the months of July, August and September, 2010: Distribution Loss Reduction Program: A two weeks Distribution Loss Reduction Program was conducted at the Central Institute for Rural Electrification (CIRE) in Hyderabad, India. CIRE is a training institute under the aegis of Rural Electrification Corporation Ltd. (REC), a Government of India autonomous organization. CIRE has been organizing the training programs on the aspects of time-to-time policy changes such as power sector reforms, change management, open access-issues and challenges, regulatory aspects, energy conservation etc. The prime objective of this two week program is to familiarize participants with the framework of power sector in India, to provide insights into sources of technical and commercial losses and controlling methods, and bring awareness on legal and regulatory aspects towards loss reduction. This program was designed for graduate engineers and managers in utilities and working in the power sector with electrical/power engineering background. Nine DABS technical staff have participated this program at this juncture. Program on Metering Systems and Management: A four weeks Program on Metering Systems and Management was held at YMPL, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India from September 15 October 12, 2010. The objective of the Program Metering Systems and Management is to develop the participants for planning the metering system; specifying metering; metering evaluation, selection, deployment and installation; metering audits and maintenance; and the establishment and maintaining of the meter testing laboratory.

H. OTHER ISSUES: This section identifies other issues relevant to the Energy Sector generation, transmission, substations, MV and LV distribution systems and Electricity Trade and Transit matters that are worthy of note. 1. USAID Kabul Electric Department Advisory Project (and now the Kandahar Electric Department (KED) Advisory Project: a. Corporate Planning: The AIRP is ceasing support to DABS planning, and will direct resources to Kandahar Breshna. Responsibility for DABS planning support activities will be transferred to KESIP. Accordingly, as-is DABS Corporate Planning deliverables were transferred to the KESIP Corporate Planning Specialist including the Cash Budgeting Model, Long-Term Dispatch and Demand Models, and the Day-Ahead Dispatch Model. b. Kandahar Commercialization: Developed the principles of a simple, selffunded, strong incentive scheme as a key tool to motivate DABS Kandahar staff to reduce losses and improve collections. These principles were presented to DABS Kandahar Senior Management but require further socialization with both DABS Corporate and Kandahar. The DABS COO and CCO are openly supportive of this approach. Developed an organizational redesign to strengthen commercial accountability in DABS Kandahar. This included identifying the need to hire two new positions a Deputy Director, Commercial and a Manager, Customer Service. These proposals also require further socialization with DABS Kandahar and sanctioning by DABS Corporate of the two new positions. DABS Kandahar staff continued to enter customer data profiles into the newly implemented Pooyesh metering, billing and collections system. DABS Corporate Billing staff visited Kandahar and confirmed the quality of the data entry as acceptable. However the speed of data entry needs to be improved. DABS Kandahar has identified low skill levels and capacity, lack of reliable electricity supply, resource and equipment shortages, and delay in finalizing per diem arrangements for data entry staff as the barriers to faster data entry. Work is in process to resolve these barriers. The project staff Utility Expert is now drafting the first iteration of the DABS Kandahar Business Plan, and will focus initially on Government collections as possible quick cash win. The project staff is also drafting a detailed Work Plan and KPI Reporting Framework. 2. GTZ Afghanistan Energy Programme: Standardization in the Afghan Power Sector: a. The Afghanistan National Standards Agency (ANSA) is the focal point for implementation of international (IEC) standards for Afghanistan. The German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is assisting ANSA, DABS, and MEW to prepare and implement a standardization program through 2013 via the GTZ Afghanistan Energy Programme: Renewable Energy Supply for Rural Areas (ESRA). b. The ESRA Programme has three principal components: (a) Energy for Rural Development, (b) Energy Planning on the provincial level, and (c) Advisory Service to Energy Policy on the national level. The Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW) has requested the German government for support in its effort to design a suitable standardization system (Design Manuals, Standard Specifications) for the power sector. c. Specific objectives of the electrical standards development are to improve power supply to consumers, protect consumers from unsafe electro technical products, and assist local manufacturers for electrification. Goals are to identify standards 72

for HV transmission lines and MV and LV distribution network, and especially metering, poles, fuses, plugs, and an installation manual. MEW has prepared a list of 200 standards that are needed. ANSA has requested 50 of the standards on the list from the IEC. d. GTZ indicated that a 6 kV 30 kV cable standard has been accepted by the ANSA Electro Technical Committee. ANSA conducted a meeting on electro technical standards, renewable energy, and energy efficiency and consumer products on 05 August 2010 at the ANSA Offices. Lectures on standardization were given by GTZ at Kabul Polytechnic University, and also included the Kabul University Engineering Department. e. MEW indicated that it has formed a Committee on Standardization with DABS and WAPECA to work with ANSA on standards development. GTZ ESRA will assist as appropriate. f. GTZ ESRA is assisted in the standards development by expert from the Netherlands Standards Institute (NEN).

3. Energy Charter Treaty Ratification: a. ICE Secretariat continues working with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Energy Committee of the Lower House of Parliament to complete ratification of the Energy Charter Treaty. Afghanistan was voted as the 54th Member Nation of the Energy Charter Treaty at a meeting in Istanbul, Turkey in December 2007. The Afghanistan ratification of this membership remains pending, following installation of the new Afghanistan Parliament. 4. Afghan Energy Information Center (AEIC): a. The AEIC responded to 139 information requests during the reporting period. The single-largest user of the AEIC was MEW, the AEICs closest collaborating partner, which made 58 (42%) of the requests. The second-largest group of users was other USAID implementing partners, which made 48 (35%) of the requests. Of USAIDs implementing partners, the Afghanistan Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project (AIRP) was the largest user with 24 requests. Other major users of the AEIC included DABS, the Sheberghan Gas Field Development Project (AEAI), USAID, and ISAF. Information requests ranged from simply printing out a report to gathering information from the field and producing detailed customized energy infrastructure maps. The utilization of the AEIC during the reporting period is summarized in the following chart:
AEIC Information Requests July - September 2010
ISAF/Military 5 4% USAID 9 6% Other Donors/Implementers 3 2% Other Ministries/Afghan Organizations 1 1% USAID Implementing Partners 48 35% Other 3 2% Afghanistan Energy Capacity Building 3 2% Sheberghan Gas Field Development Project 13 9% AIRP 24 17% MEW 58 42%

DABS 15 11%

b. The AEICs redesigned website (www.AfghanEIC.org) had an average of over 1,400 unique visitors per month during the quarter and a total of nearly 6,700 visits. The major improvement in the website during the reporting period was the implementation of the searchable energy production database that allows for user-customized reports of all energy production data, from hourly detail by plant to annual summaries of production by generation type. The new database is seen here featured on the front page of the AEIC website:

c. One of the AEICs major projects during the quarter was a field survey of electricity distribution losses in the Microyan and Junction Station 3 service areas. This survey was done by the AEIC engineering team at the request of DABS and was implemented in close collaboration with AEICs counterparts in the MEW Planning Department and Kabul Electric Department (KED).

AEIC Deputy Engineering Director Eng. Shoaib supervises a meter reading.

74

The field survey involved comparing the transformer master meters with the associated customer meters over two billing cycles to evaluate the losses. The result was that the losses amounted to 45.5% of the supplied electricity, with 52.5% losses in Junction Station 3 and 24.0% in Microyan. The sharp difference is probably due to the long service drops in Junction 3 compared with the compact distribution system in the Microyan apartment blocks. The preliminary results are summarized in the following table:
Summary of Preliminary Findings from Electricity Losses Field Survey (Meter Readings from 1388 Cycle 6 and 1389 Cycle 1) Meters Read Master* Consumer 21 6,922 31 10,562 52 17,484 Metered Consumption (MWh) Master Consumer 4,275,998 3,249,830 13,088,194 6,219,450 17,364,192 9,469,280 Losses MWh Percentage 1,026,168 24.0% 6,868,744 52.5% 7,894,912 45.5%

Location Microyan Junction 3 Total =

*Note: There are a total of 62 master meters in the surveyed areas, but ten were found to be faulty so the data from those meters and their associated customer meters were excluded from the analysis.

It is important to note that these losses include both technical and commercial losses, so the AEIC is doing a follow up analysis of the distribution system to estimate what the technical losses should be based on the length, type, and condition of the conductor and connections.

Training has also been provided to the DABS staff in relay setting and substation commissioning. Government of India funded grant for Chimtala Substation (Contractor BHEL, India; Project Management: Powergrid Corporation of India). The scope of the project included: 220 kV, 110 kV and 20 kV switchyards including 2 x 160 MVA Autotransformers (220 kV / 110 kV); 2 x 40 MVA Distribution Power Transformers (110 kV / 20 kV); 25 MVAR bus reactor bay; and 22 20 kV panels in the switchgear building. Training for five engineers and twenty technicians from DABM/S in substation operations and maintenance. Government of India funded grant for extension of the Kabul East Substation (Contractor BHEL, India; Project Management: Powergrid Corporation of India) that included installation, testing and commissioning a new 1 x 40 MVA Distribution Power Transformer (110 kV / 20 kV). World Bank funded grant for MEW 500, Lot 2 is for rehabilitation and extension of the Kabul City North West and North Substations by Safa Nicu (Iran). The scope of work includes 6 x 110 kV Line Bays, 2 x 40 MVA 110 kV/20 kV Transformer Bays, and 19 x 20 kV switchgear panels. The purpose of this project is to upgrade the Kabul North West and Kabul North substations to enable delivery of the added capacity from the NEPS 220kV system into Kabul City. The North West Substation work is complete. The North Substation is expected to be completed by December 2010. The Butkhak Substation works are substantially completed except for emergency indoor and outdoor Lighting, air conditioning etc, for which temporary arrangements were made to facilitate commissioning and charging of the Substation. Subsequently the Butkhak Station was commissioned and charged during 1st week of September 2010. The Butkhak Substation will be directly feeding power supply to adjoining areas of Butkhak (Ahmadshah Mina, New Industrial Park, Butkhak Industrial Area, Deh Sabse Area, Eastern and southern part of Butkhak) and will be sharing of load of Breshna Kot and Kabul East Substations that are currently overloaded.

MV / LV Distribution: 1. Kabul Distribution System detailed conditions assessment and prioritization of existing Medium and Low Voltage customer services rehabilitation needs with rough order of magnitude of cost (combined efforts of USAID funded work under AEAI, SMEC funded by World Bank, and MEW/DABM). Two distinct and complimentary Kabul Medium Voltage Load flow studies have been completed by SMEC under World Bank funding and Siemens under USAID funding driven by ICE discussions and supported by donors for implementation and completion.

2. The basic model of the energy balances and revenue/cost for the Kabul Distribution System reported during the last period was utilized to assist OIEE in its assessment of the commercialization of DABM. The model is managed by the AEIC. Also, the model was used by the IRoA to help with the CASAREM 1000 tariff calculations, and by ABD consultants to validate the benefit of power imports on the DABM enterprise and MEW budget. A briefing on the Kabul Distribution System Model was made to the InterMinisterial Commission for Energy (ICE) participants at the December 13, 2007 ICE meeting. Other: 1. NEPS load flow and reactive power compensation needs: Two distinct and complimentary studies have been completed. Powergrid (World Bank funded) and Siemens-PTI (USAID funded through AEAI). Identification and acquisition of needs in process by USAID-IRP. USAID funded effort driven by ICE discussions and supported for implementation and completion. 2. Telecommunications Systems: Short term VSAT, Digital, and CDMA communications has been installed at the Mahipar, Naghlu, and Surobi HPPs; the NW Kabul and 100 MW (Tarakhil) TPPs; the Chimtala, Kabul North and North West, Mazar-e-Sharif, Naibabad and Pul-e-Khumri Substations; the DABM Central Dispatch Center in Kabul (Ministry of Communications Building); and the Gazak Gate Switchboard.
