Expensive electricity is only a gift to the people of Pakistan from their beloved elites,

 *7 Point Agenda for Affordable Power*

Expensive electricity is only a gift to the people of Pakistan from their beloved elites,

a country with 300 days of sunshine out of 365 days of the year and extraordinary solar energy potential, with 800 km of coastal wind corridors and extraordinary wind energy potential. The potential world is only 2000 km from the Indus River in the northern mountainsRunning up to the coast and having unlimited hydel energy potential, there is always expensive electricity generation from imported furnace oil and making fraudulent contracts with the owners of these private power plants, paying them in dollars, there Khabi electricity can not be cheap, IPP, s annual 1000 billion rupees illegal profitThey are earning, they are looting, no government has touched them, they have a representative in every federal cabinet, I have been constantly shouting in parliament as a senator/parliamentarian for the past 5 years, one of the reasons for the cheapness of electricity. is the only way

(1) Stop free electricity, judges, generals, bureaucrats, WAPDA employees, parliamentarians do not give one unit of free electricity to anyone. 

(2) Terminate fraudulent contracts with IPPs and arrest their owners by registering FIRs. Ban production of furnace oil and imported coal in the country. 

(3) Make electricity theft facilitated by WAPDA a crime equivalent to terrorism and punish it publicly. 

(4) Eliminate line losses by upgrading power transmission lines

(5) Provide solar panels and technical assistance to the public at no interest, on easy terms

(6) Include solar energy in the building code for every home built in the future,

(7) Facilitate procedures for harnessing the potential of hydel, solar, wind, encoura

ge investment.             Power in Pakistan is made, sent, appropriated, and retail given by two in a vertical course planned public region associations, Water and Power Improvement Authority (WAPDA) obligated for the advancement of hydroelectricity and given to the buyers by the power scattering associations (DISCOS) under the Pakistan Electric Power Association (PEPCO). This moment, there are 11 scattering associations and one Public Transmission And Dispatch Association (NTDC) all in the public region (beside Karachi), and the Karachi Electric (K-Electric) for the city of Karachi and its enveloping districts. There are around 42 independent power producers (IPPs) that contribute by and large in power age in Pakistan.

Beginning around 2016, more than 80% of its general population on commonplace methodologies electricity.[1]

Following 2022 absence of imported LNG in Pakistan, the country showed it would fourfold its coal power plants, which use local coal.[2] The undeniable outcome has occurred: the fast disintegration of the rupee has reduced business assurance. The standard developments in power, gas, oil, and diesel costs are also critical providers, driving extension and accordingly decreasing current creation. The monetary situation in Pakistan is causing concern.If we look at the statistics of the report, the biggest decrease has been in water or hydroelectricity. Which decreased from 2,52 gigawatts in February last year to 1766 gigawatts in February 2024, which is a decrease of about 14%.

Similarly, electricity generated from exported coal-fired power plants has recorded the largest drop of over 60 percent compared to last year.

Last year, 342 MW of electricity was generated using imported coal, which has come down to 135 MW in February this year.

Electricity generated from nuclear power plants and gas has also seen a decline compared to last year.

Nuclear plants have generated 1660 MW of electricity in February 2024 as against 1883 MW of electricity in February last year, which is a decrease of about 11%.
