The world bank has shown that Pakistan is improving in the energy sector by approving 450m to support the country. As we know in Pakistan ,many resources could be used to benefit her;such as gold,natural gas, desial etc… The indicative generation capacity expansion plan 2047 which was prepared by NTDC to focus on coal, ignore the power technology and that is set that should improve till 2030. As we know,In Pakistan many renewable resources are being used and the most cheapest is solar .If Pakistan’s renewable resources can be improved…

Global warming will make deadly heatwaves an annual threat in India and Pakistan
In 2015, India and Pakistan experienced heatwave conditions that ended up killing over 3,600 people in just three months. Now, research suggests this could become the new normal. If average world temperatures increase by between 1.5ºC and 2°C, potentially deadly heatwaves are likely to substantially increase (pdf) in frequency, and those similar to the one in 2015 could become an annual occurrence in India and Pakistan, according to a new report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations body set up in 1988. At warming of…

Read MoreWhy combining hydro power and floating solar PV may be a good idea
New research published this week by the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has highlighted the “untapped potential” of combining floating solar PV projects and hydropower plants. According to the NREL’s research, hybrid systems combining floating solar panels and hydropower plants may hold the “technical potential” to produce a “significant portion” of the necessary electricity generated across the globe. Published in the journal Renewable Energy, the authors determine that adding floating solar panels to bodies of water that are already in use as hydropower stations could yield…
Read MoreDon’t Repeat Solar Mistakes With Hydrogen, IEA Chief Warns Europe
Europe must not repeat the same mistakes it made with solar manufacturing in the emerging hydrogen sector, the executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned. A string of European research institutes and pioneering companies developed much of the technology still in use in PV panels today. But as solar began to scale in multiple international markets, coordinated national and regional support allowed Chinese manufacturers to get the upper hand over their rivals. Support in the forms of cheap land and warehouse facilities, as well as feed-in tariffs, helped companies like…
