Inspiration
Alleviating the prevailing electricity crisis remains a challenge for Pakistan as persistent long hours of load shedding has adversely impacted economic growth of the country. There are still 112 million in Pakistan which either have no access to electricity or experience over 16 hours of load shedding. The shortage cannot be mitigated alone by adding power plants in the system as these come at considerable financial and environment cost. A smarter thing to do for all of us would be to make choices that are not only light on the pocket, but also on the socket.
