In partnership with the World Bank, the Sindh government has announced an affordable solar power initiative for its residents, with prices starting at PKR 7,000.
Sindh Govt’s ambitious project aims to distribute solar systems to 200,000 households throughout Sindh, including 50,000 in Karachi, enhancing access to sustainable energy.
Each beneficiary household will receive a solar system to power a fan and three LED bulbs. The setup includes a solar panel, a battery, and a charge controller.

The Director of Sindh Solar Energy revealed that 6,656 solar systems are slated for distribution across every district in Sindh. The project is scheduled to commence in October, and the distribution process will begin promptly after the government completes the procurement phase.
The World Bank funded this initiative with $32 million. It is expected to reduce household energy costs while promoting environmental sustainability significantly. Given the potential impact of this program, plans to expand its reach further are already in place based on its initial success.
