Government Funding for Solar Power Projects

Pakistan uses natural gas (44%) as the major source of electricity production. Natural gas comes under the category of fossil fuels. All over the world, governments are looking for renewable and more dependable sources for power and energy production. By the end of 2017, Pakistan had an installed solar capacity of 730 MW. Pakistan heavily depends on oil, LPG, and natural gas for fulfilling the fuel and energy needs. It is struggling to cover up the huge gap between the supply and demand of electricity. According to NEPRA (National Electric Power Regulatory Authority), this demand-supply gap by the end of 2016 was 5298 megawatts (MG).

“Renewable energy is on top of NEPRA’s agenda.” Tauseef H. Farooqi, Chairman NEPRA.

The current Pakistan government is promoting solar power projects to cater the growing power and energy demands of the country. It has permitted 41 solar projects worth of more than 1730 MG. AEDB (Alternative Energy Development Board) have introduced the online net metering module. According to the AEDB website, domestic users are producing 60MG of electricity through net metering. For the very first time in Pakistan, AEDB has located the most suitable places for solar power projects as per international and scientific standards.
