Delegation head Imran Muhammad lauded the project and emphasised green energy’s significance in reducing carbon emissions and addressing energy scarcity issues. With an annual electricity generation capacity of 14 million kilowatt-hours, the project is equivalent to saving 40 million tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 90 million tons.
Pakistan, with its abundant solar resources, has immense potential for the development of the photovoltaic industry.
