From a global perspective, the United Nations (UN) adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also termed as Global Goals as a universal call to action, in order to put an end to poverty and promote sustainability. Among these goals, the goal number 07 (Affordable and Clean Energy) addresses the access to affordable, modern, reliable and sustainable energy. From national perspective; fortunately and unfortunately, Pakistan has been blessed with almost all kinds of renewable energy resources, still more than 01 billion people are deprived of electricity and the country is struggling to achieve the targets set by UN till 2030.
