Insolation is
very high in

renewable energies by
year 2030 besides
replacement of 5% diesel
with bio-diesel by year
2015 and 10% by 2025.
Not to be confused with Insulation.
7. Alternate energy:
Pakistan’s

AT BAHAWALPUR
Pakistan’s first solar power park
The Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park project is a joint venture
of the government of Punjab, Bank of Punjab and M/s
