“Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7) aims to ensure “access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all”. Since Pakistan has affirmed its commitment to achieving SDG 7 targets by 2030, it needs to double its current rate of change to do that. A major obstacle in its way is the fact that its power sector is beset by significant transmission and distribution losses and cost collection problems. Together, these cost the national exchequer billions of rupees in annual losses.”
