PESHAWAR: Facing an acute shortage of electricity power, the provincial authorities have focused their time and energy to find out alternate ways of getting power.
“The province should work on setting up solar power plants, which take limited time and resources to be installed,” Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak said during a meeting.
During the meeting, state energy company of China, CCS, officials offered to install three solar power plants, each having capacity of 50 Mega Watt, at Sawabi, Nauhshehra and Charsaddah.
The plants would take about $ 120 million investment to complete the project. The company officials assured the CM that it would invest billions of dollars in case these solar plants were completed successfully.
The experts say that one mega watt of solar energy costs about Rs. 200 million and two acres of land; however, this is only a one time investment.
