The Pakistani energy landscape of the 2020s has been transformed by the two major energy crises of the past five years, both of which drove up the price of the LNG that fuels power plants and prompted a consumer-driven solar push.
Pakistani households and businesses are now pairing solar with battery storage to reduce reliance on an expensive and unreliable grid.
Solar paired with battery storage is driving a new wave of Pakistan’s energy transition in a transformation catalyzed by geopolitical energy shocks. This time, the Mideast crisis, which began on Feb. 28 and has disrupted most energy supplies via the Strait of Hormuz, appears to have accelerated interest in lithium-ion battery storage across Pakistan.
