1、A roadmap for industrial electrification in PakistanTransitioning from gas to grid and renewables26 February 2026|Key findings2By electrifying industrial heat,Pakistan could cut industrial emissions by up to 50 percent by 2050 compared to the current trajectory,while delivering energy savings of aro

4、strial GDP and play a major role in Pakistans energy use.Electrification can cut operating costs,improve energy reliability and reduce exposure to volatile gas supply and pricing.As the grid integrates more renewables,especially solar PV,flexible industrial demand can also absorb surplus generation,

5、easing grid congestion.Boosting electric heat in industry requires supportive electricity tariffs,financing incentives for appliances and regulatory reforms to modernise power grids.Industrial electrification must go hand in hand with solar integration,coordinated investment in both technologies and

6、 grid upgrades to ensure widespread uptake.Stable policy signals and clear regulations can de risk projects,mobilising joint investment in grids,renewables and industry electrification.A phased national strategy sequenced by technoeconomic readiness can position industrial electrification at the cor
