An area of vast untapped potential lies in the heat energy locked inside the earth in the form of magma or dry, hot rocks. Geothermal energy for electricity generation has been used worldwide for nearly 100 years. The technology currently exists to provide low-cost electricity from Afghanistan''s geothermal resources, which are located in the main axis areas of the Hindu Kush. These run along the Herat fault system, all the way from Herat to the Wakhan District of Badakhshan Province in Afghanistan.
Abid said that the ministry has a five-year plan to achieve self-sufficiency in energy production, and with its implementation, Afghanistan will become self-reliant in clean energy production.
