Indian media talking points: Monday: Pakistan is China’s puppet. Tuesday: Pakistan is America’s puppet. Wednesday: Pakistan is double-gaming the U.S. Thursday: Pakistan will attack Iran at America’s behest. Friday: Pakistan is secretly helping Iran. Saturday: Noor Khan Airbase was destroyed. Sunday: Pakistan is hiding Iranian aircraft at Noor Khan Airbase.

کراچی والوں سے کے الیکڑک کا انتقامی سلوک؛ 16- A بفرزون کے رہائشی بلنگ 85 فیصد ہونے کے باوجود کے الیکٹرک انتظامیہ گلشن وسیم کےرہائشییوں سے انتقامی سلوک روا رکھے ہوئے ہے۔ اس شدید گرمی میں پچھلے ایک ماہ سے 20/20 گھنٹے لوڈ شیڈنگ اے لوگ تنگ آگئے۔ @KElectricPk بتائے یہ انتقام کیوں؟

Pakistan’s grid is doing something rare. Fossil has fallen from 66% to 44%. Nuclear is scaling. Solar is breaking out, wind is joining in & decentralised rooftop solar is scaling at an unprecedented pace. Meanwhile, hydro holds the system together as the generational shift begins. For two decades, Pakistan’s power mix barely moved. Fossil sat around 60–70%, hydro carried ~30%, and everything else was marginal. Then the energy transition began, and it didn’t follow the usual script. Nuclear moved first. From ~2% in 2000 to ~17% by 2025, it’s one of the few systems globally where nuclear share is clearly rising. That growth is deliberate, built, and running at high capacity, quietly strengthening the backbone of the grid. Wind edged in gradually. But the real disruption came from solar. From effectively zero to ~8% in a short window, driven less by policy and more by economics. High tariffs, unreliable supply, and cheap panels triggered a massive surge in behind-the-meter installs. That’s the key nuance. A large share of Pakistan’s solar boom sits off-grid and isn’t fully captured in official generation data. It makes the system look slower to change than it actually is, and makes building a clean dataset far more challenging than in most countries. Two very different forces are now moving together. Nuclear is scaling from the top down, engineered and centralised. Solar is spreading from the bottom up, reactive and decentralised. They’re not competing. They’re stacking. Hydro sits in the middle, doing what it has always done, balancing and stabilising the system. Fossil is still large and still necessary, but it’s no longer growing. From ~66% down to ~44%, it’s clearly losing ground. Pakistan hasn’t followed a clean transition pathway. It’s been pushed into change by cost, constraints, and demand. The result isn’t one technology replacing another. It’s a system being reshaped from multiple directions at once. Hydro anchors. Nuclear scales. Solar breaks out. Wind warms up. Fossil fills what’s left. Not merely a transition. A system under pressure, starting to bend.

@__chelseaaddict @EVCurveFuturist Don't worry bro, it's only for research purposes 😉

@b86_um @EVCurveFuturist Why is your comparison always with India why not celebrate your achievements rather comparison

Pakistan may be accidentally building one of the world’s first decentralised #solar economies. The craziest part? Real scale barely shows in official stats. Imported 51.5 GW solar panels by late 2025—nearly = entire grid. Yet registered net-metered rooftop solar just 5.3–6.8 GW. What makes this story so extraordinary is the speed. In only a few years, Pakistan appears to have gone from a relatively minor solar market to potentially sourcing around a quarter of its electricity from solar once distributed generation is included. 👉 ~16.6–17 GW solar imports in 2024 👉 ~18 GW solar imports in 2025 👉 ~51.5 GW cumulative imports by late 2025 👉 Rooftop solar: ~1.3 GW → 4.1 GW in 2024 👉 ~5.3–6.8 GW registered rooftop solar in 2025 👉 24+ GW estimated behind-the-meter/off-grid 👉 Solar potentially ~25% of actual electricity use The massive gap between imported panels and officially registered systems strongly suggests tens of gigawatts are now operating quietly on homes, farms, factories and businesses across the country. This increasingly looks less like a normal energy transition and more like large-scale consumer-led grid defection. And economics is driving nearly all of it. Electricity tariffs surged. Diesel prices climbed. Blackouts remained common. Meanwhile ultra-cheap Chinese solar panels and falling battery prices made self-generation economically irresistible. So millions effectively made the same calculation: Generate your own power, or remain trapped inside an expensive and unstable system. Once solar becomes cheaper than the grid itself, adoption can move faster than governments, utilities and even official statistics can keep up with. This isn’t gradual transition by any stretch. It may ultimately become a blueprint for how energy-poor nations break free from legacy old-world energy systems dominated by fossil fuels and increasingly expensive centralised power. It’s decentralisation at escape velocity. This is #Bettrification.

@murtazawahab1 Nice background music by the way 😀

@SouthAsiaIndex Indian economy was 5 times even at that time, no same footing.

India and Pakistan started the journey at the same footing in August, 1947. Now, after almost 80 years, India is a $4 trillion economy, while Pakistan is barely escaping the default. What is one good thing that India did for its economy that Pakistan could not do ? Share your thoughts.

@DPerwani Everyone criticizing this post has one common photo in their profiles cover

Can you make money by cutting trees ? While temperature soars in #paris . . So upsetting . By now karachi should have old trees fully grown . But they just keep on cutting them ! Why ? #karachi #pakistan confused .

@jaffri_ibrahim @murtazawahab1 @murtazawahab1 you came here with big slogans like JI ka kaam tha hum kar rahay hen... Ye kiya hai ap ne? This was dug up to this condition in Oct/Nov last year!

After mayor Karachi @murtazawahab1's visit, this road was dug up and left in this condition. It's now a death trap for the residents. This road is in north nazimabad, dividing block F & G. If the mayor would kindly take out some time from his photo ops and please take a look at this. This is the hell karachiites have to go through each day.

Congratulations to you. Children are innocent and lovable. Those 168 children that your boss killed in the school in Minab, and you justified, were also children. When you kiss your baby, think of the mothers of those children.

Israeli strikes hit a residential apartment building in Iran and killed an entire family. But when Red crescent aid members arrived, they heard a faint sound from beneath the rubble - 1 yr old little Helma. The sole surviving member of her family, a miracle to be alive. She has no idea that she will never see her mother again. Her aunt tells me that every day she calls out for her mum and her sister.

We completed the investigation at Minab school, so Donald Trump doesn't have to. Triple tap U.S Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired on a busy school day. Many children were still alive after the first strike. As some tried to flee, they were targeted again - this time with teachers and parents too. This can only be described as evil crimes against children and humanity.

@murtazawahab1 He is no different than Qayim Ali Shah

CM Sindh visited University Road early morning along with FWO team to oversee work on the mixed traffic lane as well as the storm water drain. CM has directed that work be expedited so that inconvenience being caused to the public is minimised. Target of completing the work within 90 days to be ensured #KarachiWorks #HamaraShehar

Disney heritage beautification plan in #Karachi right in front of @KmcPakistan - one hand we are heading and preserving heritage like Empress Market / Hoti Market / Frere Hall and then on extreme level this is what we are doing. A top down cheap decisions. Who has the right ?
