OUTLOOK OF ENERGY DEMAND AND SUPPLY (2030,2040 & 2050)

CURRENT ENERGY POLICY AND MEASURES
Energy Policy
Diversification of Energy Sources:
Pakistan is focusing on diversifying its energy mix to reduce
dependency on imported fuels. This includes increasing the share ofrenewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power.
The government has set ambitious targets to achieve a significant
percentage of energy generation from renewables by 2030.
Energy Infrastructure Development:
The policy emphasizes the development and modernization of energy
infrastructure, including upgrading the transmission and distribution
networks to reduce losses and improve efficiency. Investments are being
made to enhance the grid's capacity to integrate renewable energy
sources and to ensure reliable and uninterrupted power supply.
Energy Conservation and Efficiency:
Pakistan is implementing measures to promote energy conservation andefficiency across various sectors. This includes introducing energyefficient technologies, encouraging industrial and commercial sectors toadopt best practices, and raising public awareness about energy-saving
practices. The aim is to reduce overall energy demand and improvesustainability.

Appendix - 2
Energy related Investment for domestic and overseas
Domestic Investment Opportunities
Renewable Energy:
Pakistan has substantial potential for renewable energy, especially in solar and wind power. Initiatives
are in place to attract investment in these areas, with multiple companies showing interest in setting up
wind turbine and solar panel manufacturing facilities within the country​.
Infrastructure Development:
There is a strong emphasis on improving the energy infrastructure. This includes reducing line losses,upgrading distribution networks, and enhancing the capacity of existing power plants. Private sector
participation is encouraged through frequent bidding rounds for new projects​.
Energy Efficiency Programs:Programs aimed at improving energy efficiency across various sectors offer lucrative investment
avenues. This includes initiatives to modernize outdated systems and integrate smart gridtechnologies​.
Overseas Investment Opportunities
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs):
The government is promoting PPPs to attract foreign investment in large-scale energy projects. Theseinclude the development of new power plants, transmission lines, and renewable energy projects​.
Policy Reforms and Incentives:
Recent reforms, supported by international bodies like the Asian Development Bank, aim to create amore favorable investment climate. These reforms include the introduction of cost-reflective tariffs,
better governance practices, and streamlined regulatory frameworks to enhance investor confidence​.
Export-Oriented Projects:
Investment opportunities also exist in projects geared towards exporting energy, particularly throughleveraging regional trade agreements and initiatives under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
