Abstract

This policy brief provides an overview of the renewable energy investments under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), issues with renewable energy uptake in Pakistan, and prospects and opportunities under CPEC. It then suggests as to how the renewable energy investments can be scaled up under CPEC, and the best practices Pakistan can learn from China to increase access to renewable energy investments. Some of the key recommendations of this policy brief include the development of a research-based policy development, advisory, and action plan by the CPEC Authority to scale up renewable energy investments under CPEC, holding spectrum auctions for solar projects to achieve vertical integration, and to undertake transfer of technology and knowledge sharing from China under CPEC to achieve indigenisation of solar manufacturing.
