Alternative and Renewable Energy Policy 2019

Pakistan's ARE 2019 sets several overall objectives and some specific targets for the energy sector in the country. The first objective of increasing the share of renewable energy is accompanied by a target of increasing renewable energy generation to 20% by 2025, and then 30% by 2030. Some other objectives of the policy include the indigenization of energy resources and enabling local manufacturing capacity and dispalcement of expensive energy with cheaper renewable sources. The scope of the policy covers almost all sources of renewable energy like biogas, biomass, energy from waste, geothermal, hydrogen, synthetic gas, solar, wind, ocean/tidal wave, storage technologies, and hybrids of any of these.
