| Publisher Description: The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is providing $48 million to support the Power Transmission Expansion and Connectivity (PTEC) program. This activity is intended to increase the capacity of Afghanistan's electrical grid and connect it to the country's South East Power System. PTEC will expand access to cleaner, more affordable, and more local power, which will reduce Afghanistan's heavy dependence on expensive, diesel-generated power. These efforts will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase energy efficiency. |
