Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. (Wuxi, China) has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Pakistan's Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB) to help facilitate solar programs with Pakistan's public and private companies to meet growing energy needs.

The agreement is aimed at launching such programs as AEDB's Rural Electrification Program; Solar Power Pumping Systems with the AEDB and the World Bank; and Solar Power Telecom Projects in collaboration with Pakistani telecom companies.

"We are proud to collaborate with the Alternative Energy Development Board to bring the latest in crystalline silicon solar technology to Pakistan," said Zhengrong Shi, Suntech's chairman and CEO. "This is a clear example of the promise of solar energy in meeting growing demands for electricity in the developing world in an environmentally friendly way."

Pakistan is committed to using solar technologies to solve its energy shortage, according to Masood Khan, Pakistan's Ambassador to China. "We are very pleased to be working with Suntech towards developing clean renewable energy in our country."
