The Private Power Infrastructure Board is facilitating 24 power generation projects, including 22 renewable projects, with an installed capacity of 7,460 MW to be completed by 2032. The government also aims to add 6,000 MW of solar PV capacity through competitive bidding and implement solar PV generation on 11 kV feeders. Additionally, solarization of public buildings and the training of solar technicians are being pursued. Pakistan has also made progress in nuclear energy, with six operational nuclear power plants contributing to the grid and avoiding the emission of greenhouse gases. The government is focused on strengthening the regulatory framework and incentivizing private sector investment in renewable energy to ensure energy security and mitigate climate change.
