Sounds like a death spiral
Pakistan imported 12.5 GW of solar panels in the first 7 months of 2024.
Total capacity of the grid is 40 GW, but only half that is even needed.
At this rate, Pakistan is going to be powered almost entirely by solar within a few years.
That is assuming that the locals are kept from putting in local microgrids – California style
