question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the cost of the work done on the Kajaki Dam project in Afghanistan; and if he will make a statement.
tabling member constituency	Newport West
tabling member printed	Paul Flynn
uin	198096
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2014 answer text <p>The Kandahar Helmand Power Project to enhance the electrical power output of the Kajaki Dam is not funded by the Ministry of Defence (MOD), but by the US Agency for International Development and the US Army Corps of Engineers. The MOD is therefore unable to provide a thorough estimate of costs. In 2008, the UK's 16 Air Assault Brigade provided protection for the movement of a turbine to Kajaki. By the end of 2014, the project aims to deliver reliable, sustainable electricity to around two million people in Kandahar and Helmand, and to support the continued development of the regional South-East Power System (SEPS) power grid.</p> answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois question first answered 14/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois previous answer version 9752 answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois
