In a major policy shift, the Cabinet Committee on Energy (CCoE) has approved an Integrated Energy Planning (IEP) framework aimed at aligning federal and provincial energy needs, production and consumption, marking a decisive step toward long-term and coordinated energy management in Pakistan.
Under the new framework, national energy planning will be centralized within a single institution to ensure consistency and coherence. Historically, energy planning remained fragmented across multiple entities, resulting in weak coordination and policy inefficiencies. To address this, the CCoE has decided to establish a dedicated secretariat within the Power Planning and Monitoring Company (PPMC) under the Power Division to provide data-driven and integrated support to policymakers.
The committee has formally assigned full responsibility for energy planning to the Power Division, which will now oversee the promotion and development of all energy sources.
