– Solar energy is the most competitively priced technology worldwide and leads the renewable electricity capacity growth.
– Pakistan experiences significant industrial development along with a crippling energy crisis relying heavily on fossil resources. 
– SOLAR PAKISTAN is the only dedicated solar energy exhibition and conference in Pakistan with more than 10,000 visitors and 150 national and international exhibitors from across the value chain.  

Pakistan is a developing country that has experienced massive growth and industrial development in recent years. With an increasing energy demand of more than 9% annually and a heavy dependency on fossil resources, Pakistan is dedicated to diversifying its energy mix with 28-30% renewables by 2030[1].

Solar energy has emerged as the most competitively priced technology and leads the renewable electricity capacity growth worldwide. With the sunny geographical location as well as political commitment, national, international, public and private investments, solar energy have the biggest potential to support Pakistan’s energy demand.

In the past five years, six solar energy projects with a total capacity of 418 MW went into operation, equaling an increase of more than 90%. Net metering solutions came into effect in 2015 with a targeted growth of 3000 MW in the coming years.  The vast possibilities and political dedication attract investors as well as international grants. Among others, World Bank has committed 100 million USD to develop 400 MW of new solar power projects and enable the commercial provision of residential solar systems for 200,000 households[2].
