Reon Solar provides knowledge

KARACHI: As per the recent statistics published by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), 1.4 billion people worldwide do not have access to electricity and another one billion has an unreliable electricity network, a statement said on Friday.

This has led to a numerous efforts by various private sector organisations to develop solutions for electricity in remote locations.

One such initiative is that of Hub Power Company (Hubco) with expertise from Reon Energy Limited.

The Citizen’s Foundation (TCF) School, HUBCOIPGDL Campus collaborated with Reon to provide an uninterrupted source of electricity for the school, it said.  The school is one of the pioneers in the TCF network of schools to be equipped with a solar electrification system.  The system has been installed with backup batteries to provide for energy during night and cloudy days. The project was completed within a month’s time.
