After Punjab and Sindh, the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa announced the distribution of free 2kV solar panels to impoverished families in the province.
Provincial Adviser for Finance Muzammil Aslam announced that the province aims to supply 100,000 solar systems to these families free of cost.
He said the provincial government will also include electric wires and inverter fans in the package along with the panels, and highlighted that CM Gandapur and his team have already established over 90 power plants, producing electricity for six to seven rupees per unit.
In contrast, Wapda is charging Rs 27 per unit for electricity supply to consumers, Muzammil said, adding that they are also planning to construct their electricity transmission line.
It should be noted that CM Punjab Maryam Nawaz and Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah have already announced the provision of solar panels to poor families in their respective provinces free of cost or subsidized prices.
