Renewable Energy
Solar now over 25% of utility-supplied electricity nationally.
Solar share of utility power
2030 solar target
How big is the renewable energy opportunity in Pakistan?
Solar reached more than 25% of utility-supplied electricity by early 2025, with roughly 36GW of cumulative panel imports by mid-2025 — about 75% of total installed generation capacity, 88% of it distributed/rooftop.
Why is renewable energy attractive right now?
The government targets 10,000MW of solar capacity by 2030 and a 30% renewables share overall. Energy is one of SIFC's explicitly prioritized sectors, meaning fast-track facilitation is available for qualifying projects.
What incentives are available?
SIFC priority-sector fast-tracking; a market that has grown organically through private and rooftop adoption, not just utility-scale contracts — a genuinely accessible on-ramp for mid-sized investors.
What should investors watch for?
Grid integration and utility-scale project financing remain more complex than the rooftop/distributed segment, which has driven most of the recent growth.
Who's already investing in renewable energy?
China's Hanersun Technologies signed a roughly $700M, 500MW solar project in 2024, but the market is substantially driven by private and rooftop adoption rather than only large utility-scale FDI.
