Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Tuesday that his government has devised a plan to immediately convert all the federal government entities’ buildings to solar power to slash a huge chunk out of the country’s costly fuel import bill hovering around $27 billion, APP reported.
Addressing a solarization conference, the prime minister said under the plan, all federal government ministries, departments, authorities, and their offshoots in the provinces would immediately shift to solar energy.

He said it would be a model for the rest of the provincial governments as the federal government would not make additional expenditures over the solarization process.
