14.00-15.15 on May 17, 2023 at the Future Energy Asia Technical Conference | Theatre One

Pakistan is transitioning to a competitive wholesale power market in 2023, opening new investment opportunities in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. The country is committed to achieving 8,000MW from solar to the national grid in 10 years. Pakistan is committed to converting to an overall clean energy supply by 2030. With a population of 234 million and over 8% annual growth in power demand, as well as a well-established policy and regulatory regime for implementing independent thermal, hydroelectric, wind, and solar power plants, Pakistan is poised to attract billions of dollars of private investments in its expanding energy infrastructure.
