IEEC-International Electrical Engineering Conference (2024)

The Department of Electrical Engineering, NED UET Karachi and IEP Karachi Centre are proud to announce the upcoming International Electrical Engineering Conference (IEEC), themed "Illuminating Pathways: Navigating Pakistan's Energy Challenges and Opportunities" – Rappel-Up 2024. This conference serves as a crucial platform for addressing the pressing issues facing Pakistan's energy sector and exploring innovative solutions to shape a sustainable future.
Generation vs. Transmission: Bridging the Gap
One of the critical challenges faced by Pakistan's energy sector is the disparity between generation capacity and transmission capabilities. Despite having ample generation capacity, the transmission bottleneck hinders the efficient distribution of electricity, leading to unscheduled load shedding and blackouts. Rappel-Up 2024 aims to delve into the root causes of this bottleneck and propose strategies for enhancing the transmission infrastructure to meet the growing demand.
Escalating Energy Costs: Unraveling the Complexities
The regular increase in energy costs in Pakistan raises concerns about the sustainability of the current energy framework. Factors such as circular debt, heavy loans, and agreements with Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in USDs contribute to the escalating costs. Rappel-Up 2024 will facilitate discussions on these challenges and explore viable solutions to stabilize and reduce energy costs.
Optimizing Renewable Energy Potential
Pakistan boasts abundant renewable energy potential, particularly in solar and wind energy. However, harnessing this potential requires a clear roadmap and effective policies. Rappel-Up 2024 will provide insights into global agreements and frameworks for renewable energy generation, offering a pathway for Pakistan to maximize its renewable energy potential and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.
Manufacturing and Import Status of Electrical Engineering Infrastructure
Pakistan currently relies heavily on imports for major components of its electrical engineering infrastructure. This dependency poses challenges in terms of cost, availability, and technological advancement. Rappel-Up 2024 will explore strategies to promote local manufacturing and reduce import dependency, thereby boosting the domestic economy and enhancing technological capabilities.
Harvesting Coal Reserves in a Sustainable Manner
Despite having substantial coal reserves, Pakistan faces the challenge of balancing its energy needs with international climate commitments. Rappel-Up 2024 will deliberate on sustainable approaches to harnessing Pakistan's coal reserves, taking into account environmental concerns and global climate agreements.
In conclusion, Rappel-Up 2024 offers a unique platform to address the complex challenges facing Pakistan's energy sector and explore sustainable solutions. By bringing together experts, policymakers, and stakeholders, the conference aims to illuminate pathways for a resilient and sustainable energy future for Pakistan. Join us at Rappel-Up 2024 as we navigate through Pakistan's energy challenges and unlock its vast opportunities.
