I am part of the solar revolution

 

[Fatman17]

Pakistan’s solar story was built not by design, but by market forces and consumers – with one critical exception. While western economies erected tariff walls against Chinese solar imports, Pakistan took the opposite path, maintaining a zero-rated tax regime on solar PV imports that held from 2013 until mid-2025. The government didn’t plan the revolution, but it left the door wide open. Going from under 1 GW of solar PV imports in 2018 to over 51 GW by early 2026 represents one of the fastest consumer-led energy transitions on record, and one that drove a 40% drop in oil and gas imports between 2022 and 2024.

INFRASTRUCTURE: WHEN THE SUN SHINES FOR A FEW

Pakistan is increasingly touted as a country that has leapfrogged into solar energy, changing how households use electricity.

Pakistan is increasingly touted as a country that has leapfrogged into solar energy, changing how households use electricity. But for millions living in Karachi’s highrise apartments, going solar is not so simple — splitting the city into those who can go off the grid and those stuck paying for what’s left of it

INFRASTRUCTURE: DERA ISMAIL KHAN’S SOLAR REVOLUTION

From specialised solar markets to farmers abandoning diesel-powered irrigation, an unreliable grid is driving a new economy

share.google

The city’s urban area covers approximately 40 square kilometres and has a population of roughly 210,000, according to the 2023 census. Beyond the spectacle of thousands of solar panels covering the city’s rooftops, Dera Ismail Khan’s solar transition is beginning to reshape the local economy. It is creating new opportunities while making some traditional trades less viable in this dusty, conflict-affected city in southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, roughly 300 kilometres from Peshawar.

From specialised solar markets to farmers abandoning diesel-powered irrigation, an unreliable grid is driving a new economy in Dera Ismail Khan — but not everyone can afford to join it
