Punjab government is set to launch Chief Minister’s Roshan Gharana Programme to distribute free solar panels on Independence Day, August 14 as households consuming up to 200 units of electricity per month will receive free solar panels.
Solar panels will be available at only 10percent of the cost for those using between 200-500 units per month, with the remaining amount subsidized by the government of Punjab. These payments will be interest-free and spread out over five years.
Punjab CM Maryam emphasized that this initiative aims to reduce electricity bills by 40%, reiterating her dedication to public relief. The provincial authorities allocated special funds for promoting and implementing solar systems in the upcoming fiscal year’s budget.
This initiative aims to provide relief to the public burdened by expensive electricity and bills at the provincial level.
