Almost fifty percent of the population of Pakistan is not connected to the national grid

The crisis is continued in the energy sector and almost fifty percent of population of Pakistan is not connected to national grid and they produce their own electricity. The people, who are still connected with grid, they are still facing the constant and unannounced power shortages. Pakistan is becoming increasingly dependent on the imported electricity and they are importing about 100 MW from Iran and they have already developed their plans to enhance this power to 3000 MW.

There are many projects, which are set up and run properly and the situation might turn around. This alternative method of production of electricity is used with use of solar energy, which is great deal in the country to become widely accepted and used. On the country wide basis, the project developers did sign the huge number of deals last year to set up the solar power plants.

Quaid-e-Azam Solar Power Park is added about 100 MW to national grid and this is the largest solar power project in the country, which has the total capacity of 1000 MW.
