Gilgit-Baltistan: In a significant move towards renewable energy, the government of Pakistan has announced the establishment of a 100MW solar power project in Gilgit-Baltistan. The project, expected to be completed in phases, will harness the region’s abundant sunlight to provide a sustainable and reliable energy source.
The initiative is a part of Pakistan’s commitment to expanding its renewable energy infrastructure, aiming to meet the growing demand for electricity while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The solar power project will not only contribute to the national grid but also address the recurring electricity shortages in Gilgit-Baltistan, where access to power has long been a challenge.
The project will be implemented in collaboration with international and local energy companies, with a focus on environmental sustainability and job creation for the local population. Authorities have emphasized that this initiative aligns with Pakistan’s broader goals of reducing carbon emissions and promoting green energy solutions.
