CM 100,000 Free Solar Panel Scheme

Last Friday, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif of Punjab unveiled the 100,000 Free Solar Panels Scheme. This initiative, also known as the CM Solar Panel Scheme, aims to alleviate the burden of electricity costs for low-income households by distributing complimentary solar panels.

گزشتہ جمعہ کو پنجاب کی وزیر اعلیٰ مریم نواز شریف نے ایک لاکھ مفت سولر پینل سکیم کی نقاب کشائی کی۔ یہ اقدام، جسے سی ایم سولر پینل اسکیم بھی کہا جاتا ہے، کا مقصد مفت سولر پینلز کی تقسیم کے ذریعے کم آمدنی والے گھرانوں کے لیے بجلی کی لاگت کے بوجھ کو کم کرنا ہے۔ اس اسکیم کے تحت ماہانہ دو سو یونٹ تک بجلی استعمال کرنے والے گھرانوں کو مفت سولر پینل کی تنصیبات تک رسائی حاصل ہوگی۔ یہ یونٹ صارفین کو دیرپا ریلیف فراہم کریں گے۔ مزید برآں، حکومت نے ایک سال کے اندر صوبے میں ایک لاکھ سولر سسٹم نصب کرنے کا عزم کیا ہے۔

Under this scheme, households using up to 200 units of electricity per month will have access to complimentary solar panel installations. These units will offer consumers lasting relief. Additionally, the government has committed to installing 100,000 solar systems in the province within one year.
