ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has launched its first low-carbon energy storage initiative that would help enhance the country’s energy infrastructure, Pakistani state media reported on Saturday.
The initiative was launched at a ceremony in the federal capital of Islamabad, which was attended by the prime minister’s coordinator on climate change, Romina Khurshid Alam, as the chief guest.
It was actualized by the Brillanz Group and other key stakeholders involved in developing a transformative ecosystem for sustainability and decarbonization in Pakistan.
Alam said Energy Storage as a Service (ESaaS) at an industrial scale is an emerging model, where energy storage systems are offered to customers as a service rather than a traditional capital expenditure, the state-run Radio Pakistan broadcaster reported.
“With the launching of the country’s first ever project, we have embarked on a journey that not only would help advance our nation’s technological capabilities but also reaffirms our unwavering commitment to combat climate change,” Alam was quoted as saying.
The PM’s coordinator said the initiative represented the Pakistani government’s commitment to integrate innovative energy solutions and enhance the country’s energy infrastructure.
Pakistan is recognized as one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change effects and has witnessed erratic weather changes in recent years. The South Asian country has been striving to bring innovation in its energy sector and shift it toward renewable energy.
