According to the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority’s (NEPRA) 2021 yearly report, Pakistan’s total installed power production capacity is 39772 MW, with thermal (fossil fuels) accounting for 63% of energy, hydro accounting for 25%, renewable (wind, solar, and biomass accounting for 5.4%), and nuclear accounting for 6.5%. Renewable energy (RE) resources have the potential to help close the shortfall in the current scenario. With the current government’s emphasis on renewable energy, the Ministry of Energy has amended the existing Renewable Energy (RE) Policy 2019. According to the updated RE strategy, the government of Pakistan plans to obtain 60% of its energy from renewable sources, including hydro, by 2030, reducing Pakistan’s reliance on imported petroleum products.
