Kamran Siddiqui, Programme Officer, Energy & Infrastructure, International Renewable Energy Association (IRENA)

Kamran Siddiqui works at IRENA, the International Renewable Energy Agency, in its Energy and Infrastructure programme, bringing an international perspective and multilateral expertise to Pakistan’s domestic energy conversations. IRENA is the principal intergovernmental body driving the global renewable energy transition, and its Programme Officers work with member governments to develop the policies, targets, planning frameworks, and investment environments needed to accelerate deployment of clean energy. His engagement with Pakistan’s context links the country’s national energy ambitions to the global architecture of knowledge, standards, and financing that IRENA facilitates. In a country that has committed to sixty percent renewable energy by 2030 and is navigating the transformation of a power sector burdened by legacy capacity, the technical and policy expertise that IRENA brings is directly relevant to the decisions ahead.
