An international energy solutions company is gearing up to help the Pakistani business community by offering latest and low cost energy solutions. Saeed Zuberi, CEO of Tameer Energy, a group company of Tameer Foundation, said that his company intended to introduce state-of-the-art technology developed by NASA engineers.
Saeed, who was accompanied by Angus Jackson OBE, Director Planetary Power, visited the FPCCI office here on Sunday on the invitation of Tariq Sayeed, VP CACCI, where they addressed the business community. "The technology has not been employed anywhere in the world which I want to introduce in collaboration with Planetary Power Incorp, a US-based company working on cutting-edge technology in the energy sector," Saeed said.
VP FPCCI Mirza Abdul Rehman, President ICCI Zafar Bakhtawari, Presidents and office-bearers of other chambers including Raja Zaheer, Ch Pervez Waraich, Malik Zubair Ahmed, Shahid-ur-Rehman, Munawar Mughal, Tariq Mehmood, Malik Sohail, Chairman Media and Diplomatic Affairs FPCCI and others were also present on the occasion. Tameer Energy was also represented by AVP Imran Ahmed and CTO Syed Fahim.
Saeed Zuberi has worked intensively in the social and infrastructure sectors of Pakistan. Among other projects, Tameer Foundation is credited with its reconstruction efforts after the floods of 2010 and 2011.
Seed said that with the right technology solar energy was easy to capture and use. "Our ability to harness the sun's energy is crucial for our civilisation's survival as well as current and future prosperity. Our hybrid technology is highly dependable which can cut electricity and maintenance costs by 50 percent while it can be monitored and controlled through satellite, landline or a mobile phone," he added. He said that ultra-modern diesel and solar-powered electricity generation units could be installed in villages with no access to national power grid and small businesses which are easily upgradeable. He further said that he had detailed meetings with the energy officials of the federal and provincial governments whose response was encouraging.
Speaking on the occasion, Angus Jackson OBE said that "we would like to use Pakistan as a production hub for our company's units workable with any fuel and at any altitude, which will not only help masses overcome energy issues but would also initiate exports to regional markets."
