Afghanistan�s power utility company Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) said efforts are underway to normalize the transmission of electricity imported from Uzbekistan and to increase this supply to more than 450 megawatts.

DABS announced on Saturday that Uzbekistan�s electricity imports have been reduced to 150 megawatts and Tajikistan�s electricity imports to 60 megawatts.

Every winter Kabul�s power supply is severely compromised and angry residents pointed out that the government has failed to rectify the problem.

On Saturday Ghani raised the issue of the completion of regional economic projects with a visiting Turkmen delegation. He said this was a key priority and that Afghanistan is keen to import more electricity from Turkmenistan.
