Energy Saver Fan Scheme 2025 – Pakistan’s Smart Step Toward a Greener Future
The Government of Pakistan has taken a major leap toward promoting energy efficiency and lowering electricity bills with the launch of the Energy Saver Fan Scheme. Spearheaded by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, this forward-thinking program is expected to be officially announced in the Budget 2025–26. It offers households across the country the opportunity to switch to energy-saving DC fans through easy, interest-free installments, paving the way for a more sustainable and cost-effective energy future.

Why Energy Saver Fans? Understanding the Need
During scorching Pakistani summers, traditional AC ceiling fans contribute heavily to electricity consumption. These outdated fans typically consume between 80–130 watts of power, putting immense pressure on the national grid and increasing monthly bills for households.
In contrast, energy-efficient DC fans operate on just 45–55 watts, using up to 60% less electricity. By replacing conventional fans, this scheme is projected to save an estimated 5,000 megawatts (MW)—a transformative shift that could drastically reduce load-shedding and improve energy availability nationwide.

Key Benefits for Households
1. Lower Monthly Bills
Switching to DC fans can lead to immediate savings. A home using four fans can save 70 to 80 electricity units per month, potentially reducing the monthly bill by up to 15%.
2. No Upfront Payment
Families will not have to bear the burden of paying for the fans outright. Instead, the cost is split into manageable, interest-free installments, added to their electricity bills.
3. Ideal for Low-Income Families
With zero markup and no hidden fees, the scheme is especially beneficial for budget-sensitive consumers seeking reliable relief amid rising utility costs.
Environmental and National Impact
This isn’t just about saving money—it’s about saving the planet.

Environmental Advantages
- Lower carbon emissions due to reduced power usage
- Less dependence on fossil fuels
- Promotes green energy habits
National Energy Stability
- Reduces load on thermal power plants
- Improves grid reliability during peak hours
- Contributes to energy security and fewer blackouts
Enforcement and Future Vision
The Ministry of Energy has directed all provincial governments and federal departments to implement energy-efficient building codes in public sector construction. This ensures that the adoption of low-wattage appliances becomes a long-term national standard, not just a short-term fix.
Moreover, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will be consulted to ensure fiscal transparency and global alignment, especially due to the scale of subsidies and financial assistance involved.
