Renewable Energy (Solar) and its Impact on Rural Households’ Welfare (Case Study of Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan)

Ajmal Haidari · 2020 · Journal of Economics and Business

Summary. Solar energy adoption in rural Afghanistan improves household welfare by reducing health issues, increasing savings, and decreasing environmental damage from wood collection. Study of 200 households in Badakhshan province found that solar systems cut hospital visits and lowered energy costs compared to generators, though studying hours remained unchanged. The research calls for greater government investment in solar household systems to meet basic rural energy needs.
