The Islamia University of Bahawalpur has started to produce 2.5MW of electricity from solar energy to fulfill its demand for power. According to Vice-Chancellor Dr Athar Mehboob, the project was completed in one year at a cost of Rs304 million with the financial and technical support of the Punjab government s energy department. The university will save more than Rs6,000,000 per month in bills and this comes to Rs70 million throughout the year. There is a possibility to take forward this project to 10MW in the future. Load shedding is a major problem especially in Punjab and the university hopes solar energy will help cut long outages.
