Exhibition positioning: South Asia's large-scale photovoltaic energy storage industry chain exhibition covering all aspects of technology display, policy docking, and project implementation

As the core platform for South Asia's energy transformation, this exhibition focuses on the explosive growth of new energy markets in Pakistan and neighboring countries.

Currently, Pakistan is facing the dual challenges of power shortage (peak power shortage rate reaches 30%) and energy structure transformation. The government plans to increase the proportion of renewable energy to 60% by 2030, and photovoltaic and energy storage have become the core targets for achieving the goal.

The exhibition is not only a window for companies to showcase their technology, but also a key node for releasing policy dividends and matching market demand.

1. Four core favorable policies for Pakistan's new energy market

2. "2025-2030 Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation Plan"-The household market is fully activated

• Policy highlights: At the opening ceremony in May 2025, the Minister of Energy of Pakistan will officially announce the plan, planning to invest US$250 million in subsidy funds to focus on supporting rural and low-income households to install household photovoltaic energy storage systems. Subsidies cover 30%-50% of equipment costs, and products with a localization rate of more than 20% are preferred.

• Market impact: It is expected to drive the annual installation of household energy storage systems to exceed 500,000 units, and the demand for 5-10kWh energy storage models will account for more than 70%.

2. "Renewable Energy Compulsory Allocation and Storage Policy"-Rigid Demand for Public Projects

• Policy points: Starting from 2025, all newly built large-scale photovoltaic power plants must be equipped with energy storage systems (capacity not less than 15% of the installed capacity of the power station), and energy storage equipment must pass AEDB certification. The government encourages companies to adopt lithium battery energy storage technology through bidding electricity price premiums (up to US$0.03/kWh).

• Market impact: The new demand for utility energy storage is expected to reach 200MWh in 2025 and increase to 500MWh in 2026. Leading companies such as CATL and Huawei have laid out local supply chains in advance.

3. "Import Tariff Reduction and Localized Production Incentives"-Double Track Parallel to Reduce Costs and Increase Efficiency

• Policy points: Import tariffs on key equipment such as photovoltaic modules, inverters, and energy storage batteries will be reduced to 5%(the original tax rate is 10-15%), and three-year income tax exemption and land rent will be provided to enterprises setting up local assembly plants. Subsidy.

• Typical case: LONGi Green Energy has set up a component packaging plant in Karachi, and localized production costs are reduced by 18% compared with imports; Wheat Field Energy plans to start production of household storage integrated machine production lines in Lahore in 2026.

4. "Updated Edition of Net Measurement Policy"-Economic Improvement of Voluntary Self-use by Industry and Commerce

• Policy points: Allow industrial and commercial users to sell excess photovoltaic power back to the grid at 1.2 times the electricity price, and include the discharge of the energy storage system in the measurement scope. The policy coverage was expanded from projects below 1MW to 5MW, and the grid connection approval process was simplified to 30 working days.

• Market reaction: In 2024, the installed capacity of industrial and commercial optical storage projects will increase by 140% year-on-year, and energy-consuming industries such as textiles and cold chain logistics will become the main demanders.

2. Market demand map: breakout points and data support in segmented areas

3. Integration of household light and storage-rigid demand drives a 100 billion-level market

• Demand scale: In 2024, 1.2GW of new installed capacity of household photovoltaics will be added in Pakistan, and the matching rate of energy storage systems will increase from 35% in 2023 to 58%.

• Technical preferences: 5-10kWh lithium iron phosphate energy storage systems (accounting for 65%), hybrid inverters compatible with diesel engine switching, and anti-dust components (power generation efficiency loss ≤3%) have become popular products.

• Typical case: Islamabad hotels reduced electricity costs by 30% through a 16kW optical storage system, and shortened the payback period to 3.2 years.

2. Industrial energy storage-peak cutting and valley filling and production continuity guarantee

• Demand hotspots: The purchase volume of 30-100kWh energy storage systems in industrial parks has increased by 80% annually, mainly used in continuous production scenarios such as textile machinery and food processing. Huawei's intelligent EMS system has a market share of 40% because it supports multiple parallel machines and remote operation and maintenance.

• Cost advantage: The comprehensive electricity cost of optical storage systems has been reduced to US$0.12/kWh, 45% lower than that of diesel power generation, promoting the comprehensive replacement of traditional power generation equipment in special economic zones such as Gwadar Port.

3. Utility energy storage--grid frequency modulation and renewable energy consumption

• Project News: Sindh Province plans to build South Asia's largest optical storage integrated project (350MW photovoltaic +105 MWh energy storage), led by Mingyang Intelligent, using liquid-cooled energy storage technology and virtual power plant scheduling system.

• Technical threshold: Require energy storage system cycle life ≥6000 times and charge and discharge efficiency ≥92%. Leading domestic companies to seize the lead through localized testing and certification.

4. Intelligent operation and maintenance and digitalization--just need to reduce costs throughout the life cycle

• Market growth: The procurement volume of AI operation and maintenance platforms will increase by 120% annually, and the penetration rate of drone inspection services will increase from 15% in 2023 to 40% in 2025.

• Innovation cases: Ubet launched an automatic photovoltaic panel cleaning robot, which can reduce operation and maintenance costs by 30%; Huawei's FusionSolar system achieves a power station failure prediction accuracy rate of 95%.

3. Strategic layout of exhibitors and highlights of exhibition effectiveness

4. Leading enterprises 'technological benchmarking-efficient components compete with energy storage systems

• The LONGi Hi-MO7 module (efficiency 22.8%) and the ATIS N-type TOPCon module (efficiency 23.2%) will conduct actual power generation measurements at the exhibition site, and the data will be directly provided for government bidding reference.

• Wheat Field Energy released a tropical version of the household storage integrated machine, which supports 55 ° C high temperature and full power operation and adapts to the high temperature and high humidity environment in southern Pakistan.

2. Policy interpretation and bidding through train-shortening the market access cycle

-AEDB has established a "Policy Consultation Zone" to interpret the subsidy application process of the "Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation Plan" and provide pre-announcements on government bidding projects in the fourth quarter of 2025.

• Exhibitors can have priority access to the "China-Pakistan New Energy Cooperation Database" and obtain docking resources from local EPC contractors and financial institutions.

3. Localized production cooperation--the core path of cost reduction in supply chain

• The exhibition has a special "Supply Chain Matching Forum". LONGi, Jinko and other companies have released local procurement plans for 2026, covering non-core components such as brackets, cables, and structural parts. Suppliers are required to pass ISO certification and their quotations are lower than the import cost. 15%.

4. Data foresight and exhibition decision-making suggestions

• Market size: Pakistan's photovoltaic installed capacity is expected to increase from 4.5GW in 2024 to 9.77GW in 2028 (CAGR 49.68%), and the compound annual growth rate of energy storage demand exceeds 35%.

• Competitive landscape: CATL, Huawei, and LONGi account for more than 60% of the market share, but small and medium-sized enterprises are rapidly emerging in the distributed field through customized solutions.

• Exhibition suggestions:

• Technology-based enterprises: Focus on demonstrating high temperature and high humidity environment adaptability and low electricity cost (LCOE) solutions;

• Supply chain enterprises: highlight localized production capabilities and rapid response advantages;

• Service providers: Provide an integrated model of "optical storage + finance" to lower the initial investment threshold for users.
