Solar power in Pakistan
Solar power became part of the energy mix in 2013, following government policies aimed at supporting renewable energy development. The country now has seven large-scale solar
Solar power, increasingly coupled with batteries, is a key element of the energy transition for countries including Pakistan. Pakistan is experiencing an energy revolution as households and businesses rapidly adopt solar-plus-battery systems to meet their own energy needs.
The factors driving Pakistan's solar and battery boom are not unique to the country. Many other developing economies face the same pressures of high power prices, unreliable electricity and gaps in energy access. They can also benefit from the rapid drop in the cost of solar panels and, more recently, batteries.
Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) are considered environmentally friendly short-term energy storage solutions due to their capacity for rapid and efficient energy storage and release, high power density, and long-term lifespan. These attributes make FESS suitable for integration into power systems in a wide range of applications.
The country now has seven large-scale solar projects that contribute 530 MW to the national grid, along with a growing number of harder to measure off-grid projects. The country has solar plants in Pakistani Kashmir, Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan.
