BELEM, Brazil: Pakistan’s rooftop solar generation will for the first time exceed power demand on the country’s electrical grid during daytime hours in some major industrial regions next year, a senior government official told Reuters.
The outlook reflects a record boom in the country’s solar panel installations in recent years that has delivered lower emissions and reduced power bills for some, but also disrupted the finances of debt-laden utilities due to a protracted decline in demand for grid-based electricity.
