Efforts afoot to promote eco-friendly energy production

Under the Clean and Green Energy mission of Special Investment Facilitation Council, efforts are underway to promote eco-friendly energy production through hydro and solar power. In this connection, the Saudi Fund for Development has offered 101 million dollars for a hydropower project in Azad Jammu and Kashmir which will add 70 megawatts of electricity in the national grid. A GW3 solar panel plant has been installed in Karachi by a US company, which will not only help in manufacturing of solar panels and electric vehicles. The World Bank has also approved a 150 million dollar project of clean energy in Pakistan. These projects under SIFC are increasing production capacity of the country, helping it overcome its energy crisis. Source: Radio Pakistan
