The Chairman of the National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) called on the Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Industries and Production, Mr. Haroon Akhtar Khan, and briefed him on modern energy-efficient models developed for both industrial and domestic use.
During the meeting, the NTDC Chairman highlighted that the use of insulation in buildings can play a vital role in energy conservation by maintaining optimal internal temperatures. He informed that the Energy Use Building Codes have been introduced for this purpose. Their implementation is already underway under the directives of the Federal Government.
Mr. Haroon Akhtar Khan emphasized that modern technology and sustainable energy solutions are crucial for Pakistan’s economic growth. He noted that energy demand rises sharply during the summer months across industrial operations and daily life. He added that building insulation is an effective way to reduce transmission costs and meet the country’s growing energy needs.
Mr. Haroon Akhtar Khan said:
“Pakistan’s GDP growth is closely linked with energy costs. To enhance regional competitiveness, adopting sustainable energy practices in industries is the need of the hour.”
The Special Assistant directed the Engineering Development Board (EDB) to collaborate with NTDC. A progress report must be submitted on the implementation of these energy-efficient models.
Additionally, Mr. Haroon was invited by the Lahore University of Management Sciences to participate in the Asia Transit Summit 2025.
