Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif chaired a meeting in Islamabad on 22nd December, 2022 regarding the promotion of solar energy in the country. The Prime Minister said necessary steps should be taken to promote the use of solar energy at the private level while maximum government buildings in the country should be converted to solar before the start of summer season. He said solarization should be done first in the buildings of the federal government in Islamabad capital territory and will be extended across the country later on.

The meeting was briefed that the federal cabinet has approved the framework for generating electricity from solar energy instead of expensive fuel.

AEDB is already working on development of a 600 MWp solar PV project at Muzaffargarh, Punjab for generation cheap electricity in substitution of expensive import fuel based generation. The competitive bidding process for the development of the said project will be initiated soon after the determination of benchmark tariff by NEPRA. AEDB has also been tasked to carry out the competitive bidding for solarization of public sector buildings on behalf of public sector entities. The competitive bidding process in this regard is planned to be initiated in early January, 2023. 

On December 07, 2022 AEDB Celebrated the project completion ceremony of 100MW solar PV power project of Zhenfa Pakistan New Energy Company (Private) Limited (ZPNECPL) in District Layyah, Punjab in presence of Honorable Federal Minister for Ministry of Energy (Power Division) Mr. Khurram Dastgir Khan and CEO AEDB Mr. Shahjahan Mirza.
At this occasion while inaugurating the ceremony, Honorable Federal Minister for Ministry of Energy (Power Division) Mr. Khurram Dastgir Khan said that this is a big step towards Government of Pakistan’s commitment of increasing the renewable energy share in power generation by adding clean and green energy into the system. Further the induction of lower tariff solar projects will help in reducing the overall cost of generation.
ZPNECPL acquired Letter of Intent (LOI) from Punjab Power Development Board (PPDB) for development of 100MW Solar PV power project in District Layyah, Punjab. The project company acquired Tariff from NERPA in February 2020 for its 100MW project. The 100MW project of ZPNECPL is placed under Category-II of the Cabinet Committee on Energy (CCoE) decisions. AEDB and PPDB issued the Tripartite Letter of Support (TLOS) to ZPNECPL on 3 September 2020 for its 100MW solar PV project. ZPNECPL has executed the Energy Purchase Agreement (EPA) with CPPA-G on 29 January 2021 with CPPA-G.
ZPNECPL has put up 229,885 PV modules of 435 Wp each having cumulative capacity of 100 MW, the modules are producing 188,427,600 kWh of clean electricity per annum. The levelized tariff for the project is US Cents 3.72/kWh.
