Pakistan Solar Industry 2025: Explosive Growth, Policy Shifts,
Looking ahead, Pakistan''s solar sector is poised for continued growth, potentially reaching 13-15 GW officially by 2030 if policies integrate storage and utility-scale projects.
Solar energy is the heat and radiant light from the sun that can be harnessed with technologies such as solar power (used to generate electricity) and solar thermal energy (used for applications such as water heating). The Pakistani solar energy market is segmented by end users (residential, commercial, and utility).
The rapid rise of solar energy in Pakistan is a direct response to the country's ongoing energy crisis and the broader global shift toward renewable energy. According to InfoLink's data, Pakistan's solar module demand reached approximately 3.5 GW in 2023 and is expected to rise to between 6.5 and 8 GW by 2024.
According to the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority's (NEPRA) 2022 report, Pakistan's total installed power generation capacity stands at 43,775 MW, with only 7% of energy coming from renewable sources like solar. Despite the promising outlook for solar energy in Pakistan, several challenges must be addressed.
Solar energy in Pakistan has proven to be the most viable solution for the country's ongoing energy crisis, offering a path to sustainable economic growth, job creation, and reduced reliance on fossil fuels.
