Pakistan has gone through years and years of an energy crisis without an effective energy policy. Due to an easy and thoughtless reliance on imported oil, Pakistan created an inapt power mix. It has no adequate policy for the conservation of gasoline and other petroleum products. Pakistan Power Sector lacks focus on relying on indigenous sources of power generation. Pakistan needs to emphasize on the development and use of other more efficient and economical forms of energy.
We, at Arif Habib Group, believe that renewable energy is the future of energy in this country and around the world. We strive to create a more sustainable, cleaner and safer world by making wiser energy choices.
