The Government of Punjab has officially launched the CM Punjab Solar Panel Scheme 2025, an initiative aimed at reducing electricity costs and promoting renewable energy. Under this program, eligible households will receive six solar panels (plates) along with supporting equipment either free of cost or on easy installment plans.
This scheme comes at a time when rising electricity bills, load shedding, and high fuel prices are making life difficult for poor and middle-class families. By introducing solar energy at the household level, the government hopes to create a sustainable, affordable, and eco-friendly solution for Punjab’s citizens.
Why This Solar Scheme Matters
Punjab faces long hours of load shedding and ever-increasing electricity tariffs. Many families spend a large portion of their income paying WAPDA bills. The Punjab Solar Panel Scheme 2025 aims to:
-
Provide six solar panels per eligible household.
-
Reduce monthly electricity bills by thousands of rupees.
-
Offer households clean and renewable energy.
-
Minimize dependence on expensive grid electricity.
-
Contribute to Pakistan’s green energy transition.
For a family consuming more than 300 electricity units monthly, this scheme could mean saving Rs. 8,000–12,000 every month, while also enjoying a reliable electricity supply.
