The growing demand for renewable energy has driven many Karachi residents to embrace solar power, reducing electricity costs and promoting environmental sustainability. However, K-Electric’s bureaucratic red tape is hampering these efforts, turning a straightforward process into a prolonged ordeal.

The approval process involves excessive paperwork and technical requirements, causing weeks or even months of delays. Site inspections not only verify locations but also enforce stringent compliance with technical standards, further prolonging installations.

In an era of financial instability and rising electricity prices, simplifying the process for citizens to access renewable energy solutions is essential. K-Electric and relevant authorities must streamline approvals, reduce unnecessary formalities, and provide clear guidelines for residents. By removing barriers, we can accelerate the adoption of solar power and support national development goals. It is time for decisive action to make renewable energy accessible and hassle-free for all.
