Empowering Industrial Growth in Pakistan: The Shams Power Solar BOOT Model
Pakistan’s industrial sector faces persistent challenges—skyrocketing electricity bills, erratic grid reliability, and immense pressure to adopt greener practices. Enter Shams Power Limited, Pakistan’s pioneering solar developer, offering a transformative Solar BOOT Model designed for industrial sustainability and cost-efficiency.
What Is the BOOT Model?
Under the BOOT model, Shams Power invests in and handles the entire lifecycle of a solar installation—design, financing, engineering, installation, operation, and maintenance—while the client pays only for the generated electricity via a long‑term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). At the end of the contract (typically 15–25 years), ownership transfers to the client at no cost.
Why the BOOT Model Is Ideal for Industrial Clients
✅ Zero Capital Expenditure
Industrial clients pay nothing upfront. Shams Power bears all costs of system development and installation—including land structuring, panels, inverters, wiring, and connectivity—making solar adoption financially accessible.
✅ Predictable, Discounted Energy Costs
Clients benefit from electricity rates below local grid tariffs, with fixed-price agreements that reduce exposure to future utility increases. Savings begin from day one of operation.
✅ Hands-Free Operations & Risk Mitigation
Shams Power oversees performance monitoring, preventive maintenance, and quality compliance under ISO standards—clients avoid operational hassles and technical risks entirely.
✅ Ownership After Term
Once the PPA term ends (15–25 years), full ownership is transferred to the client without additional cost—providing a long-term asset and continued energy independence.
✅ Sustainability & Corporate Value
Installing solar reduces CO₂ emissions significantly and positions businesses as environmentally responsible. It also helps meet ESG and SDG commitments, which can boost market and export appeal.
Real-World Impact: Shams Power’s Industrial Clients
Shams Power has implemented more than 30 MW of clean energy capacity across Pakistan ≥ 2025 for well-known industrial clients, including retail giants, manufacturing firms, hospitals, and educational institutions.
Notable projects include:
- Metro Cash & Carry Pakistan: Multiple solar installations totaling around 5 MW; this cuts annual CO₂ emissions by over 2,600,000 kg while offering predictable energy savings.
- AkzoNobel Pakistan: Installed a 0.5 MW rooftop solar system under BOOT, eliminating capital and maintenance costs while saving approximately €14,000 annually and reducing emissions by ~387,000 kg/year.
- Packages Mall: Implemented a 2 MW rooftop system with zero O&M costs; CO₂ emissions reduced by ~1,100 tons per year, and the savings began immediately under the PPA agreement.
How the BOOT Model Works: Step-by-Step
- Initial FeasibilityShams Power conducts yield and shadow analysis to determine optimal installation size, panel layout, and expected energy output tailored to industrial premises (rooftop, carport, ground-mounted).
- Site Design & EngineeringTurnkey design and structural engineering are handled in-house, aligned with ISO and NEPRA standards. Clients face no disruption to operations during installation.
- Construction & CommissioningThe solar plant is built and connected to the site’s power infrastructure. NEPRA‑licensed generation ensures regulatory compliance for all electricity sales.
- Operation & MaintenanceThroughout the contract, Shams Power monitors performance, performs preventive maintenance, and ensures uptime, while the client pays a fixed tariff for electricity consumed.
- System TransferAt contract maturity (usually after 15–25 years), the solar asset is legally and operationally transferred to the client, enabling long-term energy independence at zero additional cost.
