Grand National Dialogue - Energy

The energy sector in Pakistan is facing multi-dimensional and complex challenges. A broad range of interventions are required to curtail this immense burden on the national exchequer in the form of circular debt and other inefficiencies. Many of these interventions not only require significant time but also requisite sizeable financial capital which is not available keeping in view the fragile economic conditions of the country. However, there are certain impactful measures that can be taken in zero-time1 and require zero-investment2 to partially alleviate the financial burden from the energy sector. These measures will impact in a range of ways including energy efficiency and conservation, organizational efficiency, productive use of energy, industrial productivity enhancement, better energy utilization through renewables, import reduction, and reduction in socio-economic costs due to emissions curtailment

This report presents a qualitative and quantitative analysis on a range of interventions in the energy sector that can be achieved in zero-time with zero-investment.
