Report: Solar is expected to set new records this year.

Published

In 2023, there was an expected 87% increase in growth. This year’s increase is 29% over the previous one, according to the research.

The cheapest source of electricity globally is solar power, and as such, it is expanding quicker than many anticipated, according to Euan Graham, an Ember electricity data analyst.

Ember estimates demonstrate the rapid growth of solar energy: in 2024 alone, new solar capacity will surpass the 540 GW of additional coal power added globally since 2010.

Expected to add 334 GW, or 56 percent of the global total in 2024, China continues to lead the globe in this industry.

According to the survey, it is followed by the US, India, Germany, and Brazil. These five nations will account for 75% of the new solar capacity in 2024.

According to the research, maintaining the sector’s growth required grid capacity and battery storage.

“Providing enough grid capacity and developing battery storage is critical for handling electricity distribution and supporting solar outside of peak sunlight hours as solar becomes more inexpensive and accessible,” the statement stated.

“Solar power might continue to surpass forecasts for the remainder of the decade if these issues are resolved and development is sustained.”

We will hold conversations with government over their suggestions, the President of SCBA stated. The attorneys are to submit their recommendations to the Supreme Court Bar for discussion.

He said that any constitutional choice made without legal counsel would be considered “mere consultation.”

“We are having discussions with the government about the constitutional court, which is something that the bar councils all over Pakistan used to demand,” Shahzad Shaukat stated.

He claimed that the lawyers were pleased with the law minister’s pledge that he had patiently listened to our position.

As stated by the president of the SCBA, “We will jointly give better constitutional proposals over the issue.” The lawyers have organized a committee.

Bar councils are stakeholders and would be given due consideration, according to previous remarks made by Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar.

Representatives from bar councils would also be present at the news conference, according to Azam Nazeer Tarar.

After the legal community’s objection to the proposed constitutional amendment, the decision was made to engage with the bar associations.

A constitutional law intended to establish judicial changes, including the creation of a constitutional court, is about to be presented by the coalition government in power.
