Pakistan is an energy-resourceful country with vast and untapped renewable energy sources (RESs). The wind, solar, and biomass of the country are practically capable of ending a power sector collapse caused by demand-supply variances. A significant percentage of Pakistan's population resides in rural areas. For rural population, the lack of connection to the mainstream of national development is a direct consequence of frequent power blackouts and, in certain cases, a lack of grid connection altogether. Lucrative features of smart grid are not fully incorporated into the power network yet, but policy-makers are paying attention to increase RES reliance. A comprehensive study describing the renewable energy potential of Pakistan is of importance. This research work attempts to present a collective summary of Pakistan's renewable energy potential. A statistical analysis of the proposed and installed projects in various districts are presented. This paper elaborates the pressing needs of renewable energy integration for resolving Pakistan's energy crisis. Renewable energy projects are acclaimed in this paper for affording higher living standards and better job opportunities than the fossil fuel based industry in Pakistan. Integrating RESs into the national portfolio is guaranteed to offer profound socio-economic benefits to Pakistan's rural population.

巴基斯坦可持续能源发展的基础设施：回顾

巴基斯坦是一个能源丰富的国家，拥有大量尚未开发的可再生能源（RES）。该国的风能，太阳能和生物质能实际上能够终结因供需差异而导致的电力部门崩溃。巴基斯坦很大一部分人口居住在农村地区。对于农村人口来说，缺乏与国家发展主流的联系是经常停电的直接结果，在某些情况下，甚至根本没有电网连接。智能电网的有利功能尚未完全整合到电网中，但是政策制定者正在注意增加RES的依赖性。全面描述巴基斯坦的可再生能源潜力至关重要。这项研究工作试图提出巴基斯坦的集体总结。的可再生能源潜力。提供了对各个地区的拟议和已安装项目的统计分析。本文阐述了可再生能源整合解决巴基斯坦能源危机的迫切需求。与巴基斯坦的化石燃料产业相比，可再生能源项目因其提供更高的生活水平和更好的就业机会而倍受赞誉。确保将RESs纳入国家投资组合，可以为巴基斯坦的农村人口提供深远的社会经济利益。与巴基斯坦的化石燃料产业相比，可再生能源项目因其提供更高的生活水平和更好的就业机会而倍受赞誉。确保将RESs纳入国家投资组合，可以为巴基斯坦的农村人口提供深远的社会经济利益。与巴基斯坦的化石燃料产业相比，可再生能源项目因其提供更高的生活水平和更好的就业机会而倍受赞誉。确保将RESs纳入国家投资组合，可以为巴基斯坦的农村人口提供深远的社会经济利益。
