Renewables First

The conversations on the future of Pakistan's energy system need the people shaping its future in the room.   We are pleased to welcome Awais Leghari, Federal Minister for Energy (Power Division) as the Guest of Honor at SOLAR. STORAGE. FLEXIBILITY. 2026.   Pakistan's energy system is changing rapidly. With the widespread adoption of distributed solar and the growing role of battery storage, the focus is now shifting from deployment to integration. The next phase of the energy transition will require new market structures, updated regulatory frameworks, and a power system designed for a more decentralized future.   As the conference brings together policymakers, industry leaders, and global energy experts, the Minister's presence will help advance conversations on the reforms and integration mechanisms needed to build a more secure, reliable, and future-ready energy system. #SSF26 #SolarStorageFlexibility #EnergyTransition #BatteryStorage #DistributedEnergy #Pakistan #RenewablesFirst

Delivering the next phase of Pakistan's energy transition will require collaboration across research, industry and technology. At SOLAR. STORAGE. FLEXIBILITY. 2026, we're pleased to welcome HeraldX, Women in Energy Pakistan, The Carbon Trust and Indus Consortium as session partners. We look forward to the insights they will bring as we explore the technologies and institutional pathways shaping Pakistan's energy future. 📍 4-5 August 2026 | Islamabad Register now: https://lnkd.in/diJeUvpQ #SSF26 #EnergyTransition #BatteryStorage #DistributedEnergy #Pakistan #RenewablesFirst

We are honored to welcome Senator Sherry Rehman to SOLAR. STORAGE. FLEXIBILITY. 2026 for an exclusive fireside dialogue.     A parliamentarian and policy leader, Senator Rehman has spent over two decades advancing climate action and sustainable development in Pakistan and beyond.     She chairs the Senate Standing Committee on Climate Change and Environmental Coordination and has served as Pakistan's Federal Minister for Climate Change, Ambassador to the United States and Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting. At COP27, she chaired the G77 and China negotiations that secured the landmark Loss and Damage Fund, a defining moment in global climate diplomacy.     At Solar. Storage. Flexibility. 2026, Senator Rehman will lend her expertise to a conversation on how distributed solar can strengthen energy security, climate ambition and economic development. As Pakistan advances its energy transition, the discussion draws on her insight into the policy leadership, institutional reforms and international cooperation needed to build a resilient, future-ready energy system.    #SSF26 #SolarStorageFlexibility #EnergyTransition #ClimateLeadership #RenewablesFirst   

Pakistan's rooftops now produce abundant solar power at midday, more than households can use in the moment. As the sun sets, evening demand rises just as solar generation winds down. Energy experts call this daily pattern the duck curve, and it appears wherever solar succeeds at scale. This is where batteries enter the story. By storing surplus daytime generation for evening use, storage lets every rooftop deliver its full value around the clock. Lithium-ion battery imports surging 220% in 2025, reaching 4.6 GWh in a single year, signal the same shift. These themes will take centre stage at SOLAR. STORAGE. FLEXIBILITY. 2026, as we explore what comes next for Pakistan’s energy transition.

Excited to share that Clean Energy Finance Innovation Lab (CEFIL), a joint initiative between Renewables First and Hyfin, has signed an MoU with the National Credit Guarantee Company Limited (NCGCL). Electric two- and three-wheelers are gaining momentum in Pakistan, but limited access to formal financing remains a key barrier to wider adoption. The partnership will focus on designing credit guarantee facilities and financing frameworks that reduce lending risk and unlock commercial capital for Pakistan's e-mobility market and the broader clean energy sector.
