The Punjab government has launched a groundbreaking initiative to provide free solar panels to low-income households, enabling them to access clean, reliable, and cost-free electricity. This green energy program aims to reduce dependence on the national grid, cut household energy costs, and promote sustainability at the grassroots level.
Initially, the program targets thousands of homes in underdeveloped areas, helping families suffering from load shedding and rising electricity bills. These solar systems will include solar panels, batteries, and inverters, ensuring 24/7 power access. This move not only empowers vulnerable citizens but also aligns with Pakistan’s renewable energy goals under Vision 2030.
By distributing free solar systems, the Punjab government is tackling two major challenges: poverty and energy scarcity. This shift toward solar energy in Pakistan is expected to reduce the overall carbon footprint and encourage more widespread adoption of renewable sources.
Moreover, the initiative promotes economic resilience by giving families greater control over their utilities and reducing monthly expenses—supporting a healthier, cleaner, and more sustainable future for all.
