Event at the 2026 London Climate Action Week “The Solarization of Pakistan’s Economy” examines Pakistan’s consumer-driven distributed solar transition, which official statistics have largely failed to capture. It maps approximately 38 GW of installed capacity across four sectors, residential, industrial, agricultural, and commercial, tracing the distinct role solar has played in each: unlocking suppressed demand, displacing fossil fuels, and absorbing demand growth outside the grid. This study also looks ahead at the next frontiers of solarization across these sectors and transportation, where electrification has yet to meaningfully take hold.
