Islamabad schools adopting solar: In a significant move towards sustainable energy, the Federal Ministry for Education has announced a project to switch primary schools in Islamabad to solar power. According to a ministry spokesperson, all primary schools in the capital will have solar power systems installed within two months. This initiative is designed to promote sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions.
The project aims to cut electricity costs and provide a clean, sustainable energy source for schools. Solar panels will be installed on the roofs of selected schools to achieve these goals. The savings from the solar project will be reinvested to enhance educational facilities in the federal capital.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that no new duties will be imposed on solar panels to promote renewable energy access. This move aligns with the government’s commitment to providing affordable renewable solar energy to all citizens in Pakistan.
The transition to solar power is expected to have multiple benefits, including reducing the carbon footprint of schools and ensuring a reliable power supply. This is particularly important in a country like Pakistan, where power outages are common and can disrupt educational activities.
The switch to solar power in Islamabad’s primary schools showcases a forward-thinking approach to energy management and sustainability in education. It sets a positive example for other regions to follow and highlights the importance of investing in renewable energy for a better future.
