Pakistan State Oil (PSO) has opted to employ solar energy as an inexhaustible burden for its earnings in a large network of retail outlets, warehouses, and filling facilities around the country, it was taught this on Monday.
The official corporation stated that PSO plans to convert its retail and bulk storage systems into solar-powered distribution to minimize reliance on electrical power supplies.
“We have invited proposals that take into consideration the cost-effectiveness and benefit that could be appropriate to an investment model for the establishment in retail stores of a 25 MW combined solar system with a potential for 10 MW of additional oil storage facilities across the country,” an official said. “This plan is currently at its basic stage.”
In addition, a charging station has already been built up by the country’s leading oil marketing company and plans to establish two further charging stations for the year.
“The years 2025-30 will highlight Pakistan’s boom in electric cars, and PSO is ready to satisfy the demand for charging stations,” stated the officer of the PSO.
The installation of power loading terminals at PSO’s existing installations would lessen its reliance on unsure grid supply and save costs.
PSO focuses on speeding up climate change measures and spearheading the sustainable energy transformation to greener fuels in Pakistan.
