What believers are saying

  • February 4, 2026: DABS signed $11 million substations and Kabul grid projects.
  • November 18, 2025: Uzbekistan renewed the 2026 supply contract, preserving imported power.

What critics are saying

  • August 31, 2026: Turkmen imports failed, cutting seven provinces until September 3.
  • July 19, 2026: Kabul had only 750 MW against 4,000 MW demand.
