ISLAMABAD (PEN) : The Balochistan government, supported by China, has successfully solarized 12 educational institutions, computer labs, and hospitals with modern facilities. Pakistan’s solar capacity reached 1.24 GW by 2022, with plans to increase solar energy’s share. Balochistan holds significant renewable energy potential, particularly in solar, with estimates suggesting it could generate over 14 GW within 5-10 years. Microgrids paired with solar offer a cost-effective solution for rural electrification. The province is poised to become a major solar power hub. Solar energy investment is surpassing traditional oil, presenting Pakistan with opportunities for clean energy development. China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) facilitates solar energy cooperation, positioning Pakistan as a leader in renewable energy.
