Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif recently announced a plan to distribute 50,000 solar panels across the province as part of the “Chief Minister Roshan Gharana” program. This initiative aims to promote renewable energy in the region.
The program, with a budget of Rs 12.6 billion, will provide solar systems to 50,000 protected consumers in Phase-I. These consumers, using 100 units of electricity monthly, will be selected through a balloting process.
