The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) government has officially launched the Solar Scheme 2026, aiming to provide clean and affordable electricity to more than 100,000 deserving families across the province. The initiative is part of the government’s broader strategy to reduce energy poverty, promote renewable energy, and support households affected by rising electricity costs.
Under the scheme, beneficiary families will receive 2-kilowatt solar systems, complete with inverters and essential equipment.
