The federal government will install 18 megawatts of rooftop solar with battery storage on 499 government buildings across Gilgit-Baltistan by December 2026, as part of a 100MW solar project announced by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The broader 82MW utility-scale component, pending ECNEC approval, is projected to benefit approximately 1.3 million people and eliminate load shedding in the region.
Pakistan has officially replaced its decade-old net metering framework with a net billing system under NEPRA's Prosumer Regulations 2026, affecting all 283,000 registered rooftop solar consumers. Under the new rules, exported electricity earns a buyback rate lower than the retail tariff, ending the one-for-one credit model that drove Pakistan's installed solar capacity from 50 MW to over 6 GW.
WAPDA has formally approved TrafoLink (Pvt) Ltd as a qualified supplier of power transformers and medium-voltage panels following an extensive technical evaluation. The listing allows TrafoLink to participate in WAPDA procurement programmes and reinforces Pakistan's push to source critical grid equipment from domestic manufacturers.
Pakistan's Senate Standing Committee on Economic Affairs Division has unanimously voted to brief the Prime Minister and formally request FIA and NAB investigations into alleged irregularities in foreign-funded power sector projects. The move came after the Economic Affairs Division said it cannot order inquiries into another ministry's affairs, prompting senators to accuse officials of obstructing parliamentary oversight.
K-Solar (Private) Limited, the renewable energy subsidiary of K-Electric's investment arm KE Ventures Company, has signed an MOU with Chinese manufacturer Mingyang to develop wind energy and battery storage projects in Pakistan. The partnership could reduce fuel cost adjustments on Karachi electricity bills if projects progress from agreement to construction.
Researchers have developed a 3D-printed zinc-ion hybrid battery with roughly seven times the energy density of a conventional zinc-ion cell. If the technology matures commercially, zinc chemistries could sit in the storage market sweet spot — safer and cheaper than lithium-ion, higher-performing than lead-acid.
Pakistan Oilfields Limited (POL), one of the country's major listed E&P companies and part of the Attock Group, has reappointed Shuaib A. Malik as Chief Executive Officer and elected him Chairman — signalling sponsor confidence in continuity of strategic direction.
Pakistani oilfield services firm GCIL has secured a five-year gas processing contract from OGDCL covering a Sindh production field. The deal represents multi-year revenue visibility for GCIL and locks in stable processing capacity for one of OGDCL's producing assets.
Mujtaba Shaikh has been appointed CEO of AI Engineers Pakistan (Pvt) Ltd, taking on operational leadership of one of the mid-tier Pakistani engineering-services firms active across industrial, automation, and control-systems projects.
The recurring conversation about discounted Iranian crude for Pakistan frames the opportunity too narrowly. Pakistan's structural import problem is dominated by refined products, not crude — so the strategic prize is investing in domestic refining capacity that captures the crack spread, not just sourcing cheaper barrels.
