Development of Renewable Energy Technologies in rural areas of Pakistan

Muhammad Yousaf Raza, Muhammad Wasim, Muhammad Sohail Sarwar · 2019 · Energy Sources Part A Recovery Utilization and Environmental Effects

Summary. Pakistan has significant renewable energy potential in solar, wind, biomass, and hydroelectricity, yet few companies develop these technologies in rural areas. This study examines renewable energy technology development and policy implementation for rural Pakistan. Rural households consume less electricity than urban ones despite agriculture being the primary income source. The authors recommend governments expand renewable energy projects in rural areas to create employment, improve living standards, and boost the economy, while adopting policies similar to China and the US.
