UK-based financial institution GuarantCo and Pakistan-based financial institution Bank Alfalah have provided solar energy developer Shams Power with $5.2m (PKR 1.5b) of investment in 10 MW small rooftop and mounted solar plants in Pakistan.

All projects involved are found across Pakistan to reach grid-connected businesses.

Funds will be directed to the construction of additional 10 MW solar projects over Pakistan. The second phase aims to follow the success of the first transaction, alongside partners including Bank Alfalah and Capital Resource.
