The federal and Balochistan governments have agreed to undertake feasibility studies in the next one month in a bid to clear the path for installation of 30,000 solar tube wells in the province by replacing the existing conventional tube wells.

The reliance on solar-powered tube wells in Balochistan will lead to annual savings of Rs23 billion as the federal government will not need to release billions of rupees in electricity subsidy.
