Electricity transmission

Dushi is home to an overhead power line carrying imported electricity from Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Uzbekistan.[4] The 300 MegaWatt supply was the subject of a grant for expansion in 2013 from the Asian Development Bank.[5] The line supplies several provinces and the capital, Kabul. On April 13, 2018, Taliban insurgents used explosives to destroy a pylon, disrupting power supplies to the region.[4]
