33

Preference to the Importing of Power in Medium Term

Access to cheaper energy in the range of (currently 2 to 6 US cent Per KWh )

Availability of surplus power in neighboring country to be accessed

Purchasing power from neighboring countries is cheaper than the domestic energy sources > Hydro Power 4.6 US cent per KWh > Thermal Power 32 US cent per KWh> Diesel Gen-sets 20 US cent per KWh

34

Long Term Planning

HPP Construction:• Baghdara (nominally 220 MW)• Surobi 2 (nominally 180 MW) • Kajakai 2 (nominally 100 MW)• Specification of Kukcha River potential• Specification of Kunar River potential
