Kabul North-West Thermal Plant

The NW Kabul thermal power plant was completed by ABB (Alstom) at a cost of about $22.8 million in 1985. This 45 MW power plant is located in Kabul’s Khair Khana district and consists of two gas turbines having a capacity of 21.8 MW (unit 3) and 23.2 MW (unit 4). This plant was originally designed and manufactured by Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) of Switzerland. Presently, Alstom from Switzerland handles all service and parts for ABB equipment. Due to the ongoing wars and civil strife in the country this power plant was neglected and not maintained properly. USAID is funding and is still assisting in refurbishment and maintenance of this plant. In addition USAID has been paying for the diesel fuel consumed at this plant.
