Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has started developing the metropolis’ first-ever solar park in a bid to produce clean energy and minimize the load on the national grid.
KMC’s Administrator, Barrister Murtaza Wahab, performed the groundbreaking of the solar park initiative at Kidney Hill Park.
In this regard, Barrister Wahab tweeted that the KMC has commenced work on the project that will generate 100-kilowatt electricity.
He further added that it will use the clean energy generated by the solar park to cover its electricity bills for street lights in its areas.
