The Punjab Government, under the leadership of Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, has initiated significant relief measures for electricity consumers. Those using between 201 and 500 units have started receiving a reduction of 14 rupees per unit in their bills. Over 3.5 million consumers across Lahore, Multan, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, and Islamabad are benefiting from this initiative.
Solar Energy Policy to Provide Permanent Relief
The Punjab Government has introduced a comprehensive solar energy policy aimed at providing permanent relief to the public. Under this policy, consumers using up to 200 units of electricity will receive free solar systems. Additionally, consumers using between 201 and 500 units will have access to solar systems through interest-free easy installments.
Rapid Implementation of Relief Measures
The printing and delivery of the revised bills are being swiftly managed by five electricity companies to ensure that the relief reaches consumers as quickly as possible. This initiative reflects the Punjab Government’s commitment to easing the financial burden on its citizens and promoting sustainable energy solutions.
