LAHORE: Chief Minister Punjab Solarisation for Agricultural Tubewells Programme has been launched after directions from the Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif.
Under the programme, 8,000 agricultural tubewells would be converted to solar energy in Punjab. The provincial government would provide a subsidy of Rs9 billion for the solarisation of agricultural tubewells. A subsidy amounting to 0.5 million for up to 10 kW, Rs0.75 million for up to 15 kW, and Rs1 million for up to 20 kW would be provided for solarisation. The owners bearing at least one acre of agricultural land can apply online at cmstp.punjab.gov.pk, while the application form can be downloaded from www.agripunjab.gov.pk.
“Every promise made to the farmers will be fulfilled and farmers will fully participate in the journey of progress and development of Punjab. Solarisation of agricultural tubewells will be provided relief from inflated electricity bills. Whenever the PMLN government comes into power, farmers become prosperous,” the chief minister said.
