The federal cabinet has authorized a "National Energy Conservation Plan" to try to
conserve the nation's power and petroleum resources, and it has begun implementing
it in government institutions and buildings. The Information Technology (IT) ministry
has already begun to execute the strategy, with IT Minister Amin ul Haq announcing
the regulation of the 'one room, one light' formula in order to preserve as much energy
as possible during times of crisis.
The ministry has published a notification addressing the policy's implementation in the
government IT sector, which includes all buildings and platforms. IT Minister Ameenul
Haq stated in a statement that all departments operating under the IT ministry are
required to follow the directions.
He stated that using too much power at any level is a squandering of foreign reserves.
During a news briefing, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif stated,
"All markets and commercial malls will close by 8:30 p.m., and wedding halls will close at 10:00 p.m."
In addition to the 'one room, one light' formula, the government has utilized another
strategy to preserve energy, which involves closing all stores early. Defence Minister
Khawaja Asif said that the federal cabinet had approved an energy-saving plan that will
see all markets close at 8:30 p.m. and wedding venues close at 10 p.m.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has stated that all government buildings in the country,
beginning with those belonging to federal government agencies will be totally powered by
solar energy by April.
He said that if we utilize Solar Power in all of our government buildings, we will save 300 to
500 megawatts per month and reduce our import cost by roughly $27 billion per year.
