00:0050 gigawatts
00:01Just think, this is not an ordinary Hindu.
00:05This is the undocumented and shocking information about solar panels recovered in Pakistan.
00:10Who, in complete silence and without any noise, changed the entire landscape of the country's unrest.
00:17keeps
00:18So in today's detailed visit, congratulations
00:21Today we will discuss a very interesting and important topic.
00:25The solar energy revolution is rapidly emerging in Pakistan under private ownership.
00:30We will see how quickly the public adopts this vote bank.
00:34And why our old, direct princely system
00:38There seems to be complete helplessness in bearing the burden of this rapid change.
00:43Now you must be wondering where all these facts and legends came from.
00:49So sir, we have the latest report of Competition Commission of Pakistan i.e. CCP of March 2024
00:56It is titled Unlocking Green Potential and takes a close look at the most recent regulatory changes at NEPRA.
01:03These reports tell us what is happening on the ground, i.e. in the real market, at this time.
01:09In today's review, we will quickly review six important initiatives.
01:14From the silent solar revolution to the challenges of solar power, net metering issues, and the high hurdles in the path of green energy.
01:21And finally, some very important suggestions for restoration. So, let's move on.
01:33Look, this revolution that has come, was not planned by any government.
01:37Rather, the public itself has been forced by circumstances to do so.
01:41People have built this huge power plant on the roofs of their homes and factories.
01:46Why? Because on the one hand, National Grit's exorbitant electricity bills and long-term power shedding have caused public distress.
01:52had broken his back
01:53And on the other hand, the government has exempted the duty on the imports and above all on the panels coming from China.
02:00The slight drop in prices provided a great opportunity to everyone.
02:04People have ditched expensive grit and turned to private solar.
02:07Escaping the chaos of the Second World War and moving away from fossil fuels
02:12We cannot understand Pakistan's solar boom unless we understand the crisis of our old self-imposed existence.
02:20don't understand
02:20Our world has been a prisoner of expensive and costly fossil fuels like oil and coal for decades.
02:27As the CCP report clearly states, the system of national tension is largely rigid.
02:34Shudha relies on fossil fuels, which drive up the cost of generating electricity.
02:40Fluctuate oil prices in the international market and suppress readers on foreign germanization stocks
02:48He had set up such a tight trap that it had become difficult for the people to break out of it.
02:54Was
02:55Hissa sum machas gigawatt ka tazaad i.e. example of a snowstorm
03:00Now Zarah will understand this work, it is very interesting.
03:03There is such a discrepancy between government statistics and ground realities.
03:07That even the princely institutions have sat down with their heads in their hands.
03:10Government records show that only 6 gigawatts of solar capacity is available from Grit.
03:14But this is just a small peak of snow.
03:18The real power hidden underwater is 50 gigawatts.
03:21These are the panels that the public has installed themselves by force.
03:25And the surprising thing is that the state does not even have any proper record of this.
03:28You can judge the magnitude of this matter from just this one Hindi sentence.
03:33In 2024, 17 gigawatts of solar panels were imported from China in just one year.
03:41have gone
03:41This represents a massive and unprecedented investment of $5.2 billion from the private sector.
03:47And that too with absolutely zero government funding.
03:50Part Four: Loading pressure and regulatory changes on net metering
03:55Obviously, such a big change has brought with it some challenges.
04:00As people are moving towards cheap Shamsi Tawanai
04:04Government distribution companies i.e. Discos are the problem
04:08She is losing her biggest bill-paying subscribers.
04:12Due to this intense tension, the government had to change its policy.
04:17Nepra has taken a new route in the decision which will come into effect from February 9, 2026
04:23The old 7-year unit-for-unit profit-making model of Sarifeen will remain intact.
04:29But those who come to New Sarifen will be included in the new system of net billing.
04:34This means that now the New Sharifians will not be able to sell their surplus electricity at the old good rates.
04:40Rather, they will be paid at the lower national average tariff.
04:51The matter does not end with just the billing system.
04:54CCP reports tell us that there are many more serious missiles on the ground.
04:58Our grassroots infrastructure is in such a bad shape.
05:01that he doesn't have the ability to handle such a fierce temper.
05:05On the other hand, this is a huge social issue.
05:08That the poor families are completely free from this Shamsi revolution
05:12Because the initial cost of installing the panels is very high
05:15The market is flooded with illegal and second-rate medicines.
05:18And the biggest environmental threat
05:20There is no complete mechanism across the country to recycle old or damaged panels.
05:32So how do we handle this unstoppable wave?
05:35CCIP has made three major and fundamental recommendations for this.
05:39First, our distribution networks must be immediately upgraded and automated.
05:45So that they can tolerate these fluctuations in power
05:48Second, battery storage should be encouraged.
05:51So that the burden of grit can be reduced by storing the electricity generated during the day.
05:56And third, a National Solar Registration System should be created.
06:00To maintain a proper and clear record of the documents collected
06:05All these facts ultimately bring us to a very worrying question.
06:11Is our decades-old, worn-out grid system capable of bearing the burden of this unstoppable, fast-moving wave of modern technology?
06:18I will be able to succeed
06:19Or will this clash between the old system and the new technology create further complications for us?
06:25This incident is a crucial turning point whose decisions will determine our existence and future.
06:31Thank you so much for joining us for today's detailed jazz session.
