Pakistan to implement first village solar smart grid

Pakistan to have first on-grid solar electricity generation system

ISLAMABAD:

The Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) is all set to establish first on-grid solar electricity generation system in the country during the current year to overcome energy crisis.

“This solar system and smart grid is becoming a reality in less than a year,” said PEC Chairperson Senator Rukhsana Zuberi, addressing a press conference Saturday.

She said the smart-grid system could make Pakistan self-sufficient in energy, as the country was rich in renewable energy resources, especially solar energy.

Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO)

had agreed to buy excess electricity on mutual decided tariff.

,”People can get their solar energy system connected with smart grid and produce electricity which can be used for domestic purpose and extra power may be transferred to the main grid which will generate income”.

We should encourage the people to put solar panels at rooftops of houses, connect them to the grid, make profit by selling electricity as well as reduce energy bills upto zero level.

Two solar electricity generation systems of 180 KW each would be installed at the PEC and the Planning Commission
