Karachi, June 18, 2025: In a significant step toward building a sustainable and future-ready energy ecosystem in Pakistan, K-Electric (KE) and K-Solar – a wholly-owned subsidiary of KE – signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Huawei Technologies at the latter’s global headquarters in Shenzhen, China. The MoU will be aimed at jointly exploring, developing, and deploying innovative energy technologies across Pakistan.
This strategic collaboration will focus on three key areas: utility-scale and industrial-level battery energy storage systems (BESS), electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, and the development of microgrids.
The MoU sets a framework for cooperative feasibility assessments, technology sharing, and pilot implementations that support Pakistan’s transition toward a cleaner and smarter energy landscape.
“This partnership aligns with our broader investment strategy and sustainability roadmap while building resilience into the energy value chain through diversified, tech-enabled assets. We believe innovation is essential to securing Pakistan’s energy future” said Muhammad Aamir Ghaziani, CFO KE and Chairman K-Solar.
“Huawei is proud to partner with K-Electric and K-Solar to enable intelligent energy systems in Pakistan,” said Kevin Jin Yu, Managing Director Digital Power Huawei Pakistan. “By combining our global leadership in smart infrastructure and K-Electric’s on-ground energy expertise, we aim to co-create scalable, secure, and sustainable energy solutions that drive the country’s green transformation.”
Fahd Khawaja, CEO K-Solar, while sharing his views on the occasion, said, “Together with Huawei, we will leverage cutting-edge global technology to bring efficient, reliable, and sustainable battery energy storage solutions to industrial users across the country.”
Under the agreement, the parties will jointly assess technical feasibility, design market strategies, and pilot new energy solutions tailored for Pakistan’s unique needs. The initiative will also explore regulatory and policy frameworks to accelerate the adoption of new energy solutions in Pakistan.
