Pakistan to Showcase Energy Projects in Riyadh

Pakistan and Saudi Arabia will co-host a Riyadh business forum where Islamabad plans to present investment-ready power sector projects on January 14, 2026.

Officials say the event is designed to deepen economic cooperation and attract new Saudi capital, particularly in Pakistan’s expanding renewable energy market.

The initiative comes as the government seeks to revive foreign investment following recent economic reforms and progress on long-standing disputes.

Diplomats in Riyadh confirm that preparations are being monitored at senior levels, with follow-up consultations already in progress ahead of the forum.

According to official documents, the Special Investment Facilitation Council has instructed the Ministry of Energy to finalise and submit project details by 30 November.

The portfolio will feature joint-venture options in solar, wind, small hydropower, grid upgrades, energy storage, micro-grids and equipment manufacturing.

Officials say the delegation will present Pakistan’s energy profile, highlighting demand forecasts, transmission issues, privatisation plans and regulatory reforms.

The aim, they note, is to present clear and commercially viable options to Saudi ministries and major business groups.

To support targeted business-to-business engagement, the SIFC has also requested a directory of the top 20 companies operating in Pakistan’s energy sector.

All compiled material will form part of the Pakistan Energy and Petroleum Investment Portfolio 2026, which will be circulated among Saudi decision-makers ahead of the event.
