Pakistan launches 860MW photovoltaic and other energy construction work

    The Pakistani government recently announced that it will start the construction of Solar Grid System For Home renewable energy power projects in 2021, involving a total of 16 projects, with a total installed capacity of 860 MW, mainly for wind and photovoltaic power generation. It is expected that these projects will all be connected to the grid before the end of this year.

    According to the Pakistan Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB), according to the "Renewable Energy and Alternative Energy Policy" plan released in 2020, by 2025, the proportion of non-aqueous renewable energy power generation in Pakistan will rapidly increase to 25% from the current 6%. %; By 2030, this proportion will further rise to 30%. In order to achieve this goal smoothly, Pakistan will focus on the development of renewable energy power projects.

    The above-mentioned projects can be described as Pakistan's "vanguard" in the development of clean energy. According to information released by AEDB, in addition to this year's projects, the Pakistani government has also planned three batches of renewable energy power projects. Among them, the total number of the first batch of projects reached 19, with a total installed capacity of 531 MW. These projects have been approved by the government. The second batch of projects is expected to number 24, with a total installed capacity of 1.34 GW. Both the first two batches of projects will receive subsidies. The third batch of projects is the largest, involving 110 projects, with a total installed capacity of 6.71 GW.

    According to statistics, as of now, Pakistan's energy supply is still dominated by fossil fuels, accounting for 58%, and non-aqueous renewable energy and nuclear energy only account for about 10%.
