The Punjab government has now decided to power all Orange Line Metro Train stations using solar energy
This move will help reduce electricity costs and make the system more eco-friendly
As per project officials, a solar power plant of 1 point 6 megawatt will be installed
This solar energy will be used to run escalators platforms, station lights and other operations
Right now the Orange Line is running on government subsidies of billions of rupees every year
With solar energy the government is expected to save millions of rupees every month in electricity bills

This solar project will not only reduce costs but also help make the Orange Line Metro a more sustainable and environmentally friendly transport system in the long term
This step is a part of the Punjab government’s new focus on clean energy and smart savings
