In a world where sustainable energy solutions are the key to a brighter future, Pakistan stands at a pivotal juncture. Faced with escalating energy demands amidst rapid urbanisation and economic growth, the need for change has never been more compelling. With development cooperation history of over 60 years, one of the priority areas of the Pakistan-German cooperation is to realise a ''Just Energy Transition'' in Pakistan.
With the support of the German Federal Foreign Office (AA), GIZ Pakistan through the Pakistan-German Renewable Energy Forum (PGREF) has partnered with the Benchmark School in Islamabad to launch a pilot ''Solar Schools'' project in Pakistan. This project aims to serve as a role model for other schools and communities to build upon as we move towards a clean, green, and sustainable energy future.
The Solar Schools project, launched in collaboration with the Goethe Institute, has integrated the Benchmark School into the wider Solar Schools network. Under this project, a solar system has been installed at the school, which is tailored for educational purposes, and is geared towards raising awareness on renewable energy and climate change among the Pakistani youth.
The project''s inauguration was attended by dignitaries from Pakistan and Germany, school management, students, teachers, and representatives from both the public and private sectors deeply committed to the cause of renewable energy.
Ayesha Abubakar, a student at Benchmark School is eager to benefit from this initiative.
The Solar Schools network, initiated by the German Federal Foreign Office (AA) in 2021, focuses on engaging young minds in renewable energy through hands-on learning experiences. Specially designed solar systems for educational purposes are installed by local technicians and integrated into the school''s curriculum. Solar suitcases serve as catalysts for interactive physics experiments, sparking curiosity and discovery. Benchmark School now stands as the fifth institution to join this Network, alongside schools in Tashkent and Karshi in Uzbekistan, as well as Almaty and Astana in Kazakhstan.
In Pakistan, the Solar Schools project aspires to kindle a passion for renewable energy, particularly in regions where awareness remains limited. By demonstrating the tangible benefits of sustainability through a working example of renewable technology within their school, students are offered a direct gateway to engage with the wonders of science.
Ms. Kulsoom Tanvir, Principal of Benchmark School, takes immense pride in being at the forefront of this endeavor:
The Solar Schools project in Pakistan is a joint initiative of AA, GIZ Pakistan, Goethe Institute, and the Private Power and Infrastructure Board. It transcends the mere generation of electricity for the school; it embodies a commitment to integrate renewable energy into the curriculum in a tangible, interactive, and inspiring manner.
At the launch event, Mr. Shah Jahan Mirza, Managing Director of the Private Power and Infrastructure Board, lauded the Benchmark School for becoming an inspiring part of the Solar Schools network, and urged other schools to embrace this remarkable initiative.
The Pakistan-German Renewable Energy Forum (PGREF) supports Pakistani and German businesses to develop mutually beneficial cooperation for successful renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in Pakistan. It is a joint effort by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Ministry of Energy (MoE) of Pakistan, who are also acting as chairs of the Steering Committee. The Forum is jointly operated by the Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB) and GIZ Pakistan.

Fifth-grader Mehak dreams of becoming a doctor. But the first step towards that dream — getting a formal education — has been fraught with challenges. As one of six children, her parents could barely afford to send her to school. When they did manage to enroll her to a public school in southern Punjab in Pakistan four years ago, studying was difficult because the school had no electricity.
"We had a hard time getting drinking water and we had to attend class in extremely hot weather," Mehak said. "The fans won''t work, and we were not able to sit in class and read in the summertime." Summer temperatures in southern Punjab can regularly exceed 40 degrees Celsius.
Around 10% of schools in Punjab are not connected to the electricity grid due to their remote locations, leaving them completely without power. Those that are connected to the grid aren''t faring much better. Power outages in Pakistan can last up to 10 hours a day in rural areas and four hours in urban areas due to inefficient transmission and distribution networks.
