With energy transition accelerating across Pakistan and the wider region, A2Z Energy Systems is positioning itself as a forward-looking EPC company focused on cleaner, smarter and more sustainable power solutions. In an exclusive conversation with Engineering Post, Mr. Anwar ul Hassan, Chairman of A2Z Energy Systems, and Mr. Muhammad Zeeshan Aftab Alam, a seasoned power generation professional, shared their vision for the future of energy, the role of innovation, and the responsibility engineers carry in shaping a sustainable tomorrow.
Bringing over four decades of engineering expertise, Mr. Anwar ul Hassan believes the energy sector is at a defining crossroads. “The future of energy is no longer a distant concept; it is unfolding right now,” he said. “At A2Z Energy Systems, our vision is to enable a transition toward energy that is cleaner, smarter and more reliable. With the right engineering and planning, renewable energy can become the backbone of sustainable development.”
He emphasized that renewable resources such as solar, wind and hydroelectric power are not only environmentally responsible but also economically viable. “These resources are abundant and cost-effective. Our role as an EPC company is to design and deliver systems that maximize efficiency, reliability and long-term value for our clients,” Mr. Anwar ul Hassan explained.
Complementing this strategic vision, Mr. Muhammad Zeeshan Aftab Alam, who has over 22 years of experience in power generation, highlighted the importance of decentralization and smart energy systems. “The energy systems of the future will not rely solely on centralized power plants,” he noted. “Microgrids, energy storage and smart grids will give consumers greater control, resilience and efficiency. Digital intelligence will be as important as physical infrastructure.”
According to Mr. Muhammad Zeeshan, energy efficiency and carbon neutrality must remain at the core of every new project. “Reducing energy waste is one of the fastest ways to cut costs and emissions,” he said. “At A2Z Energy Systems, we integrate energy-efficient solutions from industrial-scale renewable installations to high-performance building systems, ensuring clients meet sustainability goals while improving return on investment.”
The discussion also touched upon green hydrogen and emerging technologies, which both leaders see as game changers. “Hydrogen is opening new possibilities for industries like transportation, manufacturing and power generation,” said Mr. Anwar ul Hassan. “We are preparing ourselves to help clients adopt these technologies and stay competitive in an evolving global energy market.”
For Mr. Zeeshan, collaboration is essential to achieving meaningful progress. “No single organization can drive the energy transition alone,” he stated. “Partnerships with governments, businesses and communities are critical if we are to accelerate the shift toward sustainable energy solutions.”
Both leaders underscored the core values guiding A2Z Energy Systems: innovation, quality, customer focus and sustainability. “We constantly explore new technologies and methodologies to stay ahead,” Mr. Anwar ul Hassan said. “Quality is non-negotiable for us, and our clients’ needs always come first.”
