Ali Pur Farash, has been selected to install a pilot system. Although, Ali Pur Farash is located in the suburbs of Islamabad, but it is a locality developed by government for low income people. Unfortunately one of the basic facilities, i.e. electricity is not available in this area. People either use oil, LPG or wood for lightening purposes. This not only becomes additional burden on these poor people but also harm their health. Their children could suffer in their studies. Deforestation in the area is increasing at an alarming rate so does the smoke and soot formation which is becoming a point of concern in that particular locality.

The introduction of low cost, environmental friendly electric generation system could help in the reduction of deforestation, help in community uplift, improve local environment, create new jobs, improve child education, improve community health and improve house hold economy.
