The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra), chaired by Waseem Mukhtar, held a public hearing on this topic on Thursday.
Rafique Shaikh, Maqsood Anwar Khan, and Mathar Niaz Rana, three provincial members, were also present at the meeting.
This followed the regulator’s decision to grant the National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) permission to create a three-year investment plan (FY23 to FY2024–25) worth of Rs352 billion with the goal of removing critical obstacles, primarily those that stand between the country’s south-central and north-central load centers and generation centers.
Among those in attendance was Dr. Fiaz Chaudhry, a special invitee to the event who was fired by the PML-N government in May 2017 for raising concerns about a “looming capacity trap.”
