The government has formally launched the Prime Minister’s Fan Replacement Program, aimed at promoting energy efficiency and reducing electricity bills across the country.
Addressing the launching ceremony, Federal Minister for Power Awais Leghari said that only high-quality, certified fans manufactured in Pakistan will be provided under the initiative.
He added that priority will be given to consumers in underdeveloped areas and those with lower electricity consumption.
What is the objective of this program?
The primary objective of the program is to reduce electricity consumption by replacing old, inefficient fans with modern energy-efficient models that consume up to 70 percent less electricity.
The government aims to replace millions of inefficient fans nationwide to reduce overall energy demand and improve system stability.
How does it work?
The program offers on-bill financing, allowing consumers to pay for new, energy-saving fans in easy monthly installments added directly to their WAPDA electricity bills.
Financing of up to PKR 300,000 is available, with repayment periods ranging from 6 to 18 months.
