Do you know Pakistan loses about 20% of #electricity during its transmission and distribution? This #cost the country Rs250bn in FY 2021-2022. These losses directly reflect in our #ElectricityBills. Learn all about it from PRIED’s energy expert Shaheera Tahir in this video:

[PRIED @Pried_org]

Nearly half of Pakistan’s energy coverage in mid-2025 focused on IPPs & power-sector finance — dominated by renegotiations, tariff fixes, and “savings” claims.

What was missing? Independent scrutiny, long-term costs, and people-level impacts.

Pakistan is shifting from Net Metering → Net Billing. ⚡️

DISCOs save on energy costs, but rooftop solar users face lower returns & longer payback.

☀️ How will this affect your solar plans?

☀️ Pakistan’s rooftop solar landscape is changing! NEPRA is moving from Net Metering to Net Billing.

This shift redistributes costs, risks & benefits, affecting payback & financial certainty for household solar users.

At #COP30, PRIED shared insights from the study, "Shouting from the Rooftops." Pakistan has 33GW distributed #Solar, near peak demand 28–30GW. Residential & commercial lead, agriculture drives #InclusiveTransition, reliance on #GridElectricity falling.

"Provinces & Parliament — both vital under the 18th Amendment — are missing from IGCEP planning. Generation, distribution, tariffs are now concurrent subjects. IGCEP must go to Council of Common Interest (CCI) & Parliament for real consensus." @ShahNafisa

[Parliamentary Forum on Energy and Economy @EnergynEconomy]

The Forum hosted a consultation on #IGCEP 2025–35, bringing together parliamentarians, ISMO, NEPRA, PPIB, CPPA-G, experts, and academia. Discussions focused on the politics of power planning, regulatory oversight, and pathways to affordable, sustainable energy.

[Parliamentary Forum on Energy and Economy @EnergynEconomy]

At the Forum’s consultation on #IGCEP 2025-35, @sherryrehman said the plan is overly centralized, shaped from Islamabad, and neglects provincial voices. "KPK, Sindh, Balochistan & others must be meaningfully included in power planning."

The demands from the Indus river bank protests echo loud and clear: reject extractive practices and ecologically harmful hydraulic projects, and protect the river and its people!

PRIED launched its Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM) for Tharparkar’s coalfields in Hyderabad. Built on field research and consultations,the GRM addresses community concerns on pollution, land, health, and livelihoods, ensuring fairness and accountability.

@ACJCE_Pakistan rejects petition to expand Thar Block-II coal mining & hike tariffs, citing legal, environmental & financial flaws. It threatens rights, worsens water scarcity & locks Pakistan into coal dependence, undermining climate goals.

📷 Newly added coal power capacity hit its lowest level in two decades.

But even with the drop in new capacity, global coal power is still growing — and far off pace with climate goals according to @GlobalEnergyMon's 📷 Boom & Bust Coal 2025 report.

Our White Paper explores the financial landscape of utility-scale Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) in Pakistan.

Despite the Renewable Energy Policy of 2006, progress remains slow with over 2,500 MW installed but significant delays in project completions.
