 Pakistan’s energy industry offers tremendous investment opportunities: Omar Ayub

TOKYO: Minister for Energy Omar Ayub on Thursday said Pakistan’s energy industry offers tremendous investment opportunities for local and foreign investors.

President calls for exploiting environment friendly sources of energy

President Dr Arif Alvi has stressed the need for exploiting environment friendly sources of energy to meet the domestic demand.   

Addressing Renewable Energy Summit in Islamabad on Thursday, he said the country needed energy that did not add to the global warming as well as reduce its reliance on imported fuel.    

The president expressed satisfaction that the government planned to increase the share of renewable energy to 20 percent by 2025 and 30 percent by 2030.   

He pointed out that the cost of renewable energy was going down. He, however, said that Pakistan must also manufacture solar panels domestically as the country could not afford the import cost.

Arif Alvi said investment in renewable energy could be encouraged by offering incentives to the industries and entrepreneurs.

He said building of dams also provided cheap source of energy. He said Pakistan needed energy for ensuring development in the future therefore, there was need to refrain from wasting the energy.
