Abstract Access to electricity is crucial for socioeconomic development, yet many rural communities in Pakistan still lack reliable and affordable energy services. This research paper explores the potential of... decentralized energy solutions for rural electrification in Pakistan. It assesses the effectiveness, challenges, and socio-economic impacts of various decentralized energy technologies, including mini-grids and off-grid systems. The study also examines the enabling policies, regulatory frameworks, and financial mechanisms necessary to promote the deployment and scalability of decentralized energy solutions. The findings highlight the opportunities for leveraging renewable energy sources, such as solar PV having cost of energy 0.20$kWh, and provide insights for policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders to foster sustainable rural electrification in Pakistan.show more
