On the interactive map
New 500 kv transmission line (1000 MW, 260 km) is far in development, but finalization is stalled due to political unrest in Afghanistan hence for now we did not add any new planned capacities. Furthermore, the UNECE report indicates two existing 220 kV lines between AFG and UZB with 449 MVA each yet other reports indicate a max trade of 450 MW hence we assume the latter.
