In a bid to address the pressing issue of energy scarcity and affordability in Pakistan, Schneider Electric (SE) has launched a mission aimed at providing cheap energy solutions for the nation’s underserved communities, with the backing of the government.
During the Access to Energy Seminar held at a local hotel, experts from both local and foreign domains, along with media representatives, gathered to discuss energy efficiency and the challenges faced by the country. Schneider Electric Pakistan’s Country President, Humayun Akhlaq, highlighted the critical importance of addressing Pakistan’s energy crisis.
