Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has started developing the metropolis First Solar Park in a bid to produce clean energy and minimize the load on the national grid.
KMC’s Administrator, Barrister Murtaza Wahab, performed the groundbreaking of the First Solar Park initiative at Kidney Hill Park. In this regard, Barrister Wahab tweeted that the KMC has commenced work on the project that will generate 100-kilowatt electricity. He further added that it will use the clean energy generated by the First Solar Park to cover its electricity bills for street lights in its areas. Previously, he claimed that the solar panels will become operational within a few months and will generate 100kw electricity at a cost of Rs. 5 million per month. Separately, Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) also stated that it will gradually switch all airports across the country to solar energy. In addition, it has directed the relevant authorities to devise a feasibility plan to convert Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport to solar power.
