The Sindh government wants to bring solar energy closer to people, especially those targeting lower-income earners. Delivery of free solar has now been planned to begin in August.
The new creative efforts are thought to be a sigh of relief to meet energy shortages and generate cheap electricity. The government formulated multiple programs and collaborations to scale solar panels for underserved regions, including grants and loan facilities to promote the use of solar energy.
Free Solar Scheme Sindh
Sindh’s provincial energy minister, Nasir Shah, also affirmed that two lac solar panels will be distributed in August. He revealed that the government is endeavoring to create a policy for affordable electricity tariffs in Sindh through the World Bank and other MDBs.
The minister also discussed the new generating plan for free electricity, which will require the federal government’s assistance. Speaking in the Sindh assembly, Shah claimed that the Sindh government kept the place in its budget for half a million solar panels.
Information released by the minister stated sufficient solar panels would enable one to have the free power of a fan and three bulbs. He added that the government has also planned banks to offer more solar panels.
Apart from partnering to promote solar energy, the Sindh government, through the World Bank, will pay the interest on bank loans used to acquire solar panels.
