Summary. This paper evaluates hybrid renewable energy systems for electrifying off-grid rural areas in Pakistan's Baluchistan region. Using Homer software, researchers compared three scenarios: solar-only, wind-only, and hybrid solar-wind systems. The analysis shows that combining solar and wind energy provides the most cost-effective and economically viable solution for rural electrification in the region.
