Electricity plays an important role in the socioeconomic growth and social prosperity of any country. It is to be considered as basic need for human development. Nowadays, low production electricity a serious problem Pakistan, which directly restricts development state. One-third Pakistan’s population does not have rural areas about 10–12 hours load shedding urban quite common. Although, state Pakistan always shows deficit conventional resources, but no progress was also being made renewable...
The non-renewable energy resources are limited and depleting gradually. As such, security has attained the greatest amount of attention globally than ever before. In meantime, crises already affecting developing countries such as Pakistan, even though one-third population country is not connected to national electricity grid. with access on-grid enduring load shedding more 12 h a day. This situation alarming require immediate required so add alternative country, which long been relying on...
