INSIDE STORY: Renewable energy solutions for Punjab’s industrial sector - Evaluating the NAMA approach in Sialkot City, Pakistan

The document assesses the feasibility of a NAMA approach to address Pakistan's energy crisis in Sialkot's industrial hub. Findings indicate that photovoltaic panels could mitigate 377,000 tons of CO2 and save industries an average of US$27,400 annually in electricity costs. The study emphasizes the importance of early industry involvement, the use of preliminary data to spark stakeholder debate, and the utility of sharing financial scheme examples to stimulate investment.

• The implementation of photovoltaic panels within Sialkot's industrial sector has the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 377,000 tons and provide industries with average annual electricity cost savings of US$27,400.
• Effective NAMA processes require the early and continuous involvement of industry in decision-making to build trust and increase the legitimacy of results.
• Stakeholder engagement is improved by sharing preliminary data to spark debate and providing examples of financial schemes from other projects to encourage investment.
