Solar panels become wedding dowries in Pakistan's energy boom
Original: Solar panels are so popular in Pakistan they’re being used as wedding dowries. That boom is now challenging a power sect
Rooftop solar has become so widespread in Pakistan that panels are now being given as wedding dowries. The rapid adoption is disrupting the country's indebted power sector, which owes billions of dollars to China, and is exposing complications in Beijing's push to lead the global energy transition.
Why now: The striking detail of solar panels serving as dowries highlights how quickly Pakistanis are abandoning the troubled grid, with financial consequences for Chinese-backed power investments.
