Islamabad: Denmark’s Ambassador to Pakistan Jakob Linulf has said that his country would help Pakistan’s transition to renewable energy resources under its Danish Energy Transition Initiative (DETI) project, news sources reported on October 19.
He made these remarks at a meeting held to discuss energy-related projects with the Federal Minister of Power Engr. Khurram Dastgir. According to the ambassador, Denmark has effectively shifted from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources and is currently the world leader in clean energy technologies. He stated that under the DETI initiative, the country would assist Pakistan in increasing its renewable energy potential through capacity building and technology transfer. He also mentioned that Denmark would hold a workshop to train personnel in this area. Speaking on the occasion, Dastgir stated that the government intends to implement high-end solar and renewable energy projects in the future and that Denmark’s assistance would be critical to their success.
It is vital to remember that Pakistan generates the bulk of its power from fossil fuels, which causes environmental degradation and the current account deficit (CAD) because of overreliance on imported fuel. The government recently decided to initiate a 10,000-megawatt solar energy project to promote resilience and sustainability.
