PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation:
The nationally determined contributions (NDCs) for climate protection in Pakistan as of October 2021 claim to reduce the country's greenhouse gas emissions by 15 percent compared to 2015. The energy sector wants to make its contribution by using a higher proportion of energy from renewable sources. It is currently 30 percent (25 percent of which comes from hydropower, 5.4 percent is wind and solar energy or is generated from biomass). This share should be increased to 60 percent by 2030. This leads to numerous technical challenges for electricity network operators. Above all, expertise is required to develop methods that can predict how much electricity will be generated from renewable sources in different areas. In this way, grid access for energy from renewable sources can be ensured without affecting grid stability or major power outages.
Goal:
The most important players in the energy industry have implemented legal and digital solutions to facilitate the energy transition.
Approach:
The project supports the energy transition with the following measures:
1. Support the institutions in the Pakistani energy industry in implementing legal rules and regulations as well as strategies for expanding renewable energies.
2. To carry out a training and further education program for network operators and other institutions in the energy industry. The project aims to pass on the necessary specialist knowledge and digital skills so that an overall concept for integrating electricity from renewable sources into the grid can be developed.
3. Implement technical measures in selected areas of two distribution networks to avoi
