The Pakistan case study illustrates how energy transitions must be carefully managed, incorporating renewables through grid modernization. Pakistan's rapid adoption of solar energy, driven primarily by market forces and with minimal political support, provides valuable lessons for other emerging markets.
Solar panels can be seen on the rooftops of houses in Islamabad. Pakistan is in the midst of a solar boom that has rapidly turned the country into one of the world's largest new adopters of this renewable energy source, according to data from the global energy think tank Ember.
Declining solar panel prices, coupled with skyrocketing grid electricity tariffs that have increased by 155% over three years, are fuelling a rush in renewable energy adoption in Pakistan, with solar power leading the way. The country is now the world's sixth-largest solar market.
