First Phase of Solar System Distribution Start in Sindh for 2 Lakh BISP Families

The Government of Sindh has begun the first phase of its Solar System distribution project, aimed at providing sustainable energy solutions to underprivileged families. This phase, launched by PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, will see 200,000 solar systems distributed to families who meet the eligibility criteria and are registered under the 8171 Benazir Income Support Program (BISP).

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Launches the First Phase

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari officially launched the first phase of the solar system distribution at an event held at the Chief Minister’s House. During his speech, Bilawal emphasized the PPP’s commitment to long-term solutions for social issues. He highlighted that the party’s election manifesto included plans to implement similar programs nationwide to help the poor access solar energy, should the PPP gain federal governance. He stated, “We want to provide facilities to the poor.”

Who is Eligible for the First Phase of the Solar System Scheme?

The free solar panels are being distributed only to families who receive financial support through the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP). To qualify, these families must have completed their NSER Survey at their local tehsil office. Being a BISP beneficiary is the most important requirement to receive a solar panel under this scheme. The Sindh government is focused on ensuring that these solar systems reach the most deserving families.

PPP’s Solar Park Initiative Through Public-Private Partnership

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari also announced that the PPP is developing a solar park through a public-private partnership. While he praised the recent reduction in electricity costs per unit, he criticized the methods used to deliver this relief to the public. He pointed out the inadequate planning by the Punjab government, contrasting it with the PPP’s efforts to bring solar energy to less developed areas of Sindh. He expressed hope that if given a chance at the federal level, the PPP would use public-private partnerships to effectively address the current challenges.

Steps to Receive a Free Solar System:

• Ensure you are a registered BISP beneficiary.
• Complete the NSER Survey at the tehsil office.
• Register for the solar panel distribution.

Long-Term Benefits of the Solar System Scheme

The distribution of solar systems is not just about providing immediate relief; it also offers long-term benefits. By giving solar energy to underprivileged families, the PPP aims to reduce their dependency on traditional energy sources, lower their electricity bills, and improve their overall living standards. This initiative is also aligned with global efforts to promote renewable energy and contribute to environmental sustainability.

Conclusion

The launch of the first phase of solar system distribution by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari marks a significant effort to support underprivileged families in Sindh. By distributing 200,000 solar home systems to BISP beneficiaries, the PPP is addressing both energy needs and social welfare. This initiative reflects the party’s commitment to long-term solutions for social issues and its dedication to improving the lives of the poor through sustainable energy.
