Quaid-e-Azam Solar Power

The international benchmark for solar power plants, at that point in time, ranged between USD 1.5 (CERC, India) to 1.8 (NREL, USA) million per MW - GoPb accomplished USD 1.3 million per MW, which was most favourable; indeed a record low price much less than global yardstick.

The Project generates electricity which is sufficient, on average consumption, for about 54,000 households. It replaces fuel import of about USD 50 million per annum conserving valuable foreign exchange and preserving the environment.

Pakistan have already wasted too much time in going solar.... we need to catchup.
