The Sindh government has launched the second phase of its ambitious Free Solar System Programme, which will provide solar kits to 275,000 low-income households across the province.
The initiative was formally inaugurated in Qambar Shahdadkot by PPP Sindh President Nisar Ahmed Khuhro. He distributed solar kits among deserving families and described the project as a major step towards solving the electricity problems of poor households.
Speaking on the occasion, Nisar Khuhro said the programme is part of Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s vision to bring solar energy to every home in Sindh. He said the government wants to reduce the heavy burden of electricity bills on low-income families.
In the first phase, 100 families in the district received solar systems, while 247 households have already been verified for the second phase. The programme will be expanded gradually to cover all districts of Sindh.
Each solar kit includes solar panels, batteries, and other necessary equipment that can power lights, fans, and small appliances. Officials say this will significantly reduce electricity costs and provide relief amid rising inflation and frequent power outages.
The Sindh government aims to promote clean and affordable energy through this initiative. It is also expected to help reduce the pressure on the national grid and encourage the use of renewable energy in rural and urban areas.
