In December 2019, the council spearheaded the formulation and distribution of its Annual Report for the year 2019. Resultantly, the SSC analysed the Labour Market Information (LMI) survey and incorporated them in the report to showcase the market realities in the sector. The analysis shows a dearth as well as opportunity for competent TVET graduates in the Renewable Energy sector. Overall, the Annual report 2019 provided information about SSC’s major activities and other concomitant details.

The SSC also completed the draft documents for obtaining the license under Section-42 of the Companies Act 2017 from the SECP. Subsequently, the Convener presented the compiled documents to the concerned SECP office for preliminary review. The concerned officers informed of some minor changes which the council is currently pursuing.

The Convener of SSC-RE, also held a meeting with representatives from Rupani Foundation. Representatives from Rupani Foundation included the Chief Executive Officer (Wasim Samad) and Business & Outreach Specialist (Faiz Alam). The two sides discussed potential for training technician for Hydro Power, Solar Power and other Renewable Energy technologies. In addition, the meeting also broached potential measures to reduce gender capacity gaps in technical training.

Overall, the council remains engaged in several concomitant activities ranging from membership drive, sector mapping, PR campaigns and interactions with potential stakeholders and interested parties. With governmental oversight from NAVTTC, Technical support from GIZ, and international endorsement from Norwegian, EU and German Embassy; SSC-RE is constantly endeavouring to represent private sector’s interest as per ground realities and dynamic challenges that present themselves.
