Shams Power: Your Go-To PPA Solar Company in Pakistan for Long-Term Savings

In today’s energy-intensive world, industrial power costs in Pakistan have soared, making sustainable alternatives a necessity—not a luxury. Shams Power, a dynamic joint venture between PITCO and Orient Operating Company, stands at the forefront of revolutionizing commercial and industrial energy consumption with its Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) solar solutions. Let’s explore why Shams  Power is the ideal partner for industrial sectors in Pakistan seeking long-term savings, environmental benefits, and hassle-free energy.

What Is a Solar PPA?

A Solar PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) is a long-term contract—typically 20–25 years—between a solar energy provider and a power consumer. In the industrial PPA model used by Shams Power, the provider takes on the capital expenditure, installation, operations, and maintenance of the solar PV system. The client simply remits payments for the solar electricity generated at a discounted tariff—usually lower than current grid rates.

This model means:

• Zero CapEx or OpEx: No upfront investment; Shams Power finances everything

• Performance Risk Eliminated: Panel efficiency and system monitoring are handled by the provider

• Guaranteed Savings: Clients start saving from day one, thanks to discounted electricity rates 

Why Industrial Sectors Prefer Shams Power

1. Guaranteed Financial Savings

Shams Power offers electricity at a tariff below grid costs, ensuring immediate savings. Clients don’t trouble themselves with rising KPRA/FESCO rates—they enjoy a fixed, budget-friendly rate that boosts long-term financial planning.

2. End-to-End Turnkey Delivery

The company handles everything—from yield and shadow analyses to real-time performance dashboards, procurement, installation, and operations/maintenance. Businesses can concentrate on their core activities without worrying about solar logistics.

3. BOOT Model & Ownership Transfer

Under the Solar Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) model structure, Shams Power manages the plant during the PPA period and transfers the assets to the client at term-end, offering full value and ownership in the long run.

4. Credible, Regulated Backing

Shams Power holds one of Pakistan’s first Distributed Solar Generation Licenses from NEPRA and is backed by financially stable sponsors who own a combined 400 MW of thermal and solar IPPs.

5. Environmental and Brand Impact

Deployment of solar systems helps save tons of CO₂ annually. Besides enhancing energy security, this move bolsters corporate sustainability profiles, which resonate with ESG investors and customers alike.

6. Bankable and Scalable Solutions

Thanks to rigorous yield analysis and feasibility studies, Shams Power offers bankable, finance-friendly projects. With pilot financing of 21 MW through Bank Alfalah and GuarantCo, and an additional 10 MW in Phase II, the company has proven its ability to scale in industrial zones.

Pakistan’s Booming Solar Market: The Perfect Timing

Pakistan ranks among the top countries with solar energy potential—over 1,500–2,200 kWh/m²/year—and enjoys nearly 9.5 hours of sunlight daily. Industrial and utility rates have surged in recent years, pushing businesses to seek alternatives like solar, especially as Chinese panel costs plummet—some installations boast electricity savings up to 70 %.

The government’s net metering policy supports distributed solar growth. Despite emerging trade-policy shifts and grid challenges, PPAs remain a reliable and sustainable route for large-scale adoption.
