In an effort to generate renewable energy and reduce the burden on the national grid, Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has begun construction on the city’s first-ever solar park.
At Kidney Hill Park, KMC Administrator Barrister Murtaza Wahab officially broke ground on the solar park project.
Barrister Wahab tweeted that the KMC has started working on the project that would produce 100 kilowatts of power in this respect. He continued by saying that the solar park’s clean energy production will be used to pay for the area’s street lights.
