Inquiry Letter: Status of the North East Power System (NEPS) Project - Phase 2

Abstract

I am writing to request information regarding Phase II of the North East Power System (NEPS) project. The NEPS project is intended to provide a cost effective, reliable system to distribute electric power to areas in northeast Afghanistan. In September 2013, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) awarded a $116 firm-fixed-price contract for the construction of NEPS Phases II and III, which was funded through the Afghanistan Infrastructure Fund. We recently completed an inspection of NEPS Phase III, and our inspection report raises concerns about the viability of that part of the project.
