Naghlu Dam, Hydroelectric power station in Surobi District, Afghanistan
The Naghlu Dam rises 110 meters high and stretches 280 meters across the Kabul River, generating electricity through its four massive turbines.
The Soviet Union funded and supervised the construction of the Naghlu Dam between 1960 and 1968, marking a substantial infrastructure development in Afghanistan.
The dam represents a key element in Afghanistan's energy infrastructure, providing electricity to 100,000 households in the Kabul region.
The reservoir connected to the dam maintains a storage capacity of 550 million cubic meters, supporting both power generation and water management.
Following extensive rehabilitation efforts in 2006, Russian company Technopromexport restored the dam's generators, returning it to full operational capacity.
