Abstract

The energy sector is a complex institutional framework that includes many ministries, government agencies, aid agencies, and international organizations. Electricity levels have increased fivefold between then and now. Thousands of renewable projects have been implemented in rural areas. Many large energy projects have been built, renovated, the institutional, policy and regulatory landscape has improved to some extent, and transmission lines and distribution networks have been expanded. Despite the lack of reliable data, Afghanistan has significant reserves of fossil fuels and a promising future for renewable energy. For the next several decades, the country's wind power capacity alone will probably exceed the projected demand for electricity. Serious problems including the need for energy, the depletion of fossil fuels and their impact on the environment have drawn attention to renewable energy sources in the last ten years. Because of this, there is a growing consensus to prioritize sustainable energy systems based on energy, especially renewable energy sources that produce no pollution or emissions. The research study concludes with the involvement of renewable energy technologies with minimum operating and external cost as the best option in the future. From a policy point of view, steps must be taken in the field of renewable energy and technological innovation that require biomass resources that are associated with unsustainable long-term investments.
