Project Brief:
The project will provide quick and cost-efficient alternate energy for already over stretched national grid electricity through solar energy. 1st Priority will be given to the Masajid & Worship places located in Off-grid areas and 2nd priority will be given to the Masajid & Worship places located in heavy load shedding areas & the 3rd priority will be given to those Masajid which have solar system but in need of strengthening, against the provided list. The list of Masajid & Worship places will be provided by the Competent Authority which will be further forwarded by the administrative department on requirement/need basis.
Salient Features:
PC-I Cost: PKR. 1,759.619 Million
Completion Period: 1.5 Year
Completion Date with DLP: 30th June, 2025
Total Masajid to be Solarized: 2000
Capacity: 4.32 MW
Annual Energy (MWh): 23.76 MWh/Year
Annual Saving: 75 Million/year
Current Status:
- Survey of all Sites Completed
- Partial Installations Initiated.
Challenges Faced During Implementation:
- Delays being faced due to restriction on imports under Pakistan Tariff Codes HS 84 & 85 and processing of LCs
