The project is expected to promote clean energy utilization and will help achieve emission reduction by installing the new system, which will be connected to the national grid.
This project would set precedent as a role model of defining procedures and strategy at the level for on-grid solar power generation and is expected to prove a measure to overcome the energy shortage, emphasizing on solar power.
Chihiro Atsumi, ambassador of Japan in Pakistan, said that Japan is concerned about the challenges caused by the climate change in Pakistan, such as receding glaciers and lack of rain fall. During the Copenhagen conference, Japan has committed to reduce the carbon emission, and Pakistan and Japan will try to utilize the solar energy to achieve this goal.
Rukhsana Zubari, chairperson of Pakistan Engineering Council, said that the launch of this project and the awareness created through media can lead to the solutions of energy problems. This system is economically viable and will also help in income generation.
