The Taliban-run Ministry of Energy and Water signed a contract Saturday with Azizi Group for a $10 billion power generation project aimed at producing 10,000 megawatts of electricity by 2032.
The agreement was signed in Kabul between Azizi Group Chairman Mirwais Azizi and the Taliban’s minister of energy and water Latif Mansour.
Addressing the event in Kabul, Azizi said the project is intended to “reduce unemployment and boost economic growth” in Afghanistan.
