Pakistan is at a stage where Alternative Energy has become an attractive option to not only produce electricity to bridge the power-deficit on the National Grid, but also to provide electricity to remote, off-grid rural areas.
Provision of electricity to such areas would generate economic activity, which in turn, would create Employment Opportunities, Poverty Alleviation and improvement in health and social uplift; meaning Alternative Renewable Energy can effectively play its part in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as well. In addition, 700 MW of Wind Energy would be made available to the National Grid by the year 2010 which would certainly help in meeting the current Energy Shortfall in Pakistan.
Today, Pakistan is facing an Energy Crisis. And every crisis is an opportunity to rise to glory and honour by accepting the challenges it entails. Rising to this challenge and depending on indigenous alternative energy resources is the need of the hour. Alternative Energy Development Board has accepted this challenge and would continue to strive to realise the vision of the honourable President General Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Mr Shaukat Aziz by fully utilising the Alternative Energy Resources available in the country.
