The Bolan Medical Complex (BMC) in Quetta has been solarized through a collaboration between the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) and its private partner, LONGi.
This sustainable energy project is expected to save Rs70 million annually while reducing carbon emissions by 468 tons each year in Bolan Medical Complex. By generating approximately 1.16 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, the system will fully meet the energy demands of one of Balochistan’s largest hospitals.
