Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has approved a landmark 100MW solar power project for Gilgit-Baltistan, alongside significant electricity initiatives for Gwadar, aiming to provide uninterrupted and affordable power to both regions.
The solar project—featuring a combination of rooftop installations and large-scale solar systems—is scheduled for completion by 2027. According to officials, the joint initiative is expected to save the government nearly Rs 1 billion annually, while helping stimulate industrial growth and reducing dependency on expensive energy sources.
In addition, the Prime Minister instructed all relevant institutions to work in full coordination to ensure stable and continuous power supply in Gwadar. He emphasized that reliable electricity is essential for boosting investment, economic activity, and long-term development in the port city.
These energy projects reflect the government’s commitment to expanding renewable resources, lowering costs, and improving regional infrastructure to support sustainable progress.
