Item Summary

"This study evaluates pathways for rapid, credible decarbonization of Pakistan’s textile hubs through large-scale deployment of off-grid and captive solar PV under a Competitive Trading Bilateral Contracts Market (CTBCM) regime. It addresses a multi-dimensional problem: energy security and serious reliability shortfalls in textile production; the economics of distributed and centralized solar options; interaction of new market constructs (Use of System Charge (including wheeling rates), trading rates) with investor returns; and emergent trade-policy constraints (notably the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, CBAM). The research synthesizes field mapping, GIS-based asset inventories, stakeholder viewpoints across Faisalabad and Multan, and scenario-based techno-economic modelling to produce policy-actionable guidance for regulators, industry and financiers. The need for the study is immediate and sector-specific."
