Renewable Energy Resource Mapping in Pakistan
| Summary |
To accelerate the expansion of renewable energy the Government of Pakistan has requested the support of the World Bank and ESMAP’s Renewable Energy Resource Mapping Initiative to help improve the country’s knowledge and awareness of biomass, solar, wind energy resources. All three components have generated initial outputs, and the activity is now proceeding to Phase 2 (ground-based data collection). |
