In a major step towards promoting energy efficiency and reducing electricity costs for ordinary citizens, the Government of Pakistan has launched the PM Fan Replacement Program 2025. This forward-looking initiative aims to replace millions of old, inefficient ceiling fans across the country with new, energy-efficient models—helping families save money while contributing to a more sustainable future.

As energy shortages and high electricity bills continue to challenge households across Pakistan, this program comes as a timely and much-needed intervention.
What Is the PM Fan Replacement Program?
The PM Fan Replacement Program 2025 is a government-supported scheme that enables Pakistani households to replace their old ceiling fans with modern, energy-saving alternatives either free of cost or at subsidized prices. The goal is to reduce the national power demand, cut household electricity bills, and support environmental sustainability.
This initiative is being spearheaded by the Ministry of Energy (Power Division) in collaboration with DISCOs (Distribution Companies), and supported by local manufacturers and energy conservation agencies.
Key Objectives of the Program
- ✅ Energy Efficiency: Older fans typically consume 80–100 watts of power, while modern energy-efficient fans use only 30–40 watts—cutting electricity usage by more than 50%.
- ✅ Lower Electricity Bills: On average, a household can save PKR 800 to PKR 1,200 per year per fan, offering major financial relief to low- and middle-income families.
- ✅ Environmental Protection: With lower energy consumption, there is reduced pressure on fossil fuel-based power plants—contributing to reduced carbon emissions and a cleaner environment.
- ✅ Support for Local Industry: The program promotes locally manufactured, high-efficiency fans that meet Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) energy ratings, supporting jobs and economic growth.
Who Can Benefit?
The program is open to all citizens of Pakistan, but it prioritizes:
- Low-income households
- Rural and underdeveloped areas
- Government schools, hospitals, and public institutions
- Areas with high electricity consumption or shortages
Beneficiaries will be identified through NADRA data, electricity bill records, and local Union Councils.
How the Program Works
- Registration: Eligible households can register online through the official government energy portal or at local facilitation centers.
- Assessment & Approval: After verification, approved households will receive a voucher or notification with installation details.
- Installation: Authorized technicians will replace old fans with new energy-efficient ones and ensure proper installation and safety checks.
- Old Fan Disposal: Old fans will be collected for recycling or safe disposal to prevent environmental harm.
