Speaking to a crowd, Awais Leghari stated that energy reforms are necessary and that the nation’s power industry has numerous issues.
Pakistan’s energy minister stated that the country has misgivings about Independent Power Producers (IPPs).
Leghari claimed that the high cost of electricity was caused by a lack of planning. “Consumers are bearing the burden of high interest rate and circular debt”, he remarked.
He declared that there would be fewer petroleum imports and that EV charging stations would be built across the nation.
By year’s end, ten electricity distribution companies will go private, according to the energy minister.
