Thrilled to have our CEO Mr. Kashif Mateen Ansari contribute thoughts on “Renewable Energy Trends, Analysis, and Way Forward” at the Green Zameen Fellowship Program 2024-25 | 5th Cohort Session, hosted by the Centre for Peace and Development Initiatives (CPDI).
In the talk, our CEO touched upon:
• Pakistan’s Major Energy Challenges (security, affordability, and reliability)
• Global Shifts (falling costs of renewables, electrification, China’s clean-energy push, U.S. shale resilience)
• Modern Trends in Renewables (solar/wind potential, energy storage, and distributed systems)
• Renewables in Pakistan (harnessing vast wind and solar resources, policy barriers, and the urgent need for transmission upgrades)
• The Way Forward (decentralizing the grid, private-sector involvement in transmission, conservation measures, and stronger integrated planning)
We had a vibrant audience—including senators, MNAs, MPAs, academia, media, and civil society leaders—who contributed valuable perspectives on how to implement these solutions to foster a more sustainable and energy-secure Pakistan.
Impact & Key Takeaways:
- Clear Strategies to accelerate wind & solar adoption
- Grid Upgrades to ensure stable integration of renewables
- Conservation & Efficiency as immediate steps to reduce shortages
- Local Manufacturing of solar panels and batteries to reduce import dependency
- Collaborative Policy Approach that unites federal, provincial, and private stakeholders
