PESHAWAR:

In an initiative aimed at alleviating energy challenges in low-income and remote areas, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sardar Ali Amin Khan Gandapur has inaugurated the Model Design and Online Application System for the Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Solarisation Scheme.

In addition to the initial plans, the CM announced an expansion of the scheme to 130,000 households, with 30,000 exclusively from the merged districts.

This ambitious project will provide complete 2kV solar systems to underprivileged households across the province, significantly enhancing energy access for those most in need.

The solarization scheme is part of the provincial government's broader efforts to address energy needs in communities where access to electricity remains a challenge, particularly in backward and remote areas. By prioritising the most vulnerable populations, the scheme aims to reduce the energy burden on families, enhance living standards, and promote the use of clean energy solutions.

Earlier, Gandapur chaired a high-level meeting to review the technical and financial modalities of the scheme.
