Afghanistan's electricity

Afghanistan's capital is facing a winter of blackouts, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The outlet said the city's supply is at risk because the Taliban government stopped paying the foreign companies that supply most of its electricity

"The consequences would be countrywide, but especially in Kabul," Daud Noorzai, the former chief executive of Afghanistan's power company told the paper.

"There will be blackout and it would bring Afghanistan back to the Dark Ages when it comes to power and to telecommunications," he said.

About 70% of Afghanistan's power supply comes from outside the country, according to the DC-based think tank the Caspian Policy Center.
