35. Solar is not just for the rich any more, nor is it all being built with subsidies or support. Many of Pakistan’s factories now have solar on their roofs, of which regulator NEPRA does not seem to have any record.

36. Pakistan power demand fell 9.1% in 2023, and one reason is the rise of solar panels. The country imported 13GW of solar panels in 1H 2024, and the current total on-grid power capacity is about 50GW, so this is a story to watch.
