The project development objective is to increase the amount of reliable indigenous electricity generated, and to mobilize private capital, in Afghanistan. B. Project Beneficiaries 28. The primary project beneficiaries are electricity consumers supplied by the NEPS, which includes Kabul, Mazar-e-Sharif, and Jalalabad.

The proposed project also (a) mobilizes commercial finance for private infrastructure development; and (b) provides an efficient, low-cost, and well-managed electricity generation facility. C. PDO-Level Results Indicators 29. Progress towards achieving the Project objectives will be measured by the following indicators: • Generation capacity of the plant constructed under the Project (MW); and • Private sector capital mobilized (US$).
