The initiative, organised by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) funded Pakistan Private Sector Energy (PPSE) Project, aims to catalyse investment in commercially viable clean energy projects and help businesses access critical financing. During Wednesday’s event, 14 participating companies showcased their work at the roadshow, promoting private sector investment in sustainable and viable clean energy solutions. The participants also presented prototype models and pitched their innovative solutions to a diverse group of investors and financiers. Expressing his views on the occasion, Ambassador Blome said: “Expanding clean energy requires a supportive environment, which is why the United States continues to work with Pakistan on developing a stronger investment climate.” The envoy further underscored that investing in clean energy and low-carbon technologies is crucial for Pakistan to achieve its renewable energy goals.
