Imperative of renewable energy 

Dear Sir, 

The world is increasingly heading toward an energy crisis driven not only by supply shortages but also by geopolitics, economics, technology, and environmental pressures. Heavy dependence on fossil fuels continues to create uncertainty in the global economy. A significant portion of global oil supply passes through key chokepoints, making markets highly sensitive to disruptions. Recent geopolitical conflicts have caused repeated energy shocks, raising concerns over supply shortfalls and soaring prices. South Asian countries, heavily reliant on imported fuel, are especially vulnerable to these fluctuations.

In this context, renewable energy has emerged as the most practical solution. By 2025, it contributed around one-third of global electricity, surpassing coal for the first time. Most of the growth in electricity demand has been met by renewables, with solar energy leading the expansion. Improvements in battery storage and rapid development in wind and hydropower have strengthened this transition.

Renewable energy reduces carbon emissions, lowers climate risks, and enhances energy security by decreasing import dependence. With projections indicating further growth by 2030, it is clear that renewables are not just an option but the most sustainable path forward.
