smart meters is only solution by experts..if you read about it you will know it.
smart meters are installed at both grid and consumer level which provides real time data, any kunda/anomaly will be detected immediately as well as its approximate location, meaning a team can be dispatched to that location and find the source making it very difficult to steal energy. you can even immediately switch the power off to that location..making the whole exercise meaningless.
i agree that PML N should be given credit for financial closure. but than PML N should not steal the credit from PPPP with respect to 1400mw tarbela project.
so you are accepting that PML N by closing tarbela project at a very incredible rates (half the rates of these projects) performed way better than PPPP?
PPPP in its tenure were able to build 500mw of hydro all very cheap due to source of funding and also financially close tarbela IV and doing the ground work for Dasu project finances
meanwhile after two yeas PML N have only closed 2 private projects nothing else in hydro sector.
if the trend continues PML N performance will only be marginally better or may be worse in hydro sector(unless it intiates bhasha dam in full swing)
regarding LNG being 15% cheaper, i can argue that coal is 50% cheaper than LNg and is sustainable while LNG from past 10 years experience is not sustainable once oil prices hit 100$. its way expensive than the average price of 10rs today. so mean even tough we have very expensive power it will become more expensive.
even japan cant afford LNG and are going back to nuclear!!!!!!!!!!!!
even PML N knew that, thats what they have said in their manifesto, its available on line just read page 22-26 , they have clearly said that problem is energy mix which can only be corrected by coal and hydro...i voted for pmln because of their experience and their manifesto..i didnt expecetd them to back tack once they see a political opportunity in case of low oil prices.
my guess is that we will have no load shedding in year 2018, govt will simply patch it up with circular debt just as PPPP patched the rupee stability with foreign reserves. once they win the elections of 2018(which they will no doubt about it, as their strong hold punjab represent more than 50% of votes and they are cashing in Hazra too with motorways), the problem will reemerge again
if PML N just follow 50% of their manifesto from page 22-27. i will say they succeeded 100%
World Bank unanimously approves Dasu project - Newspaper - DAWN.COM
1-Current govt succeded in arranging the Dasu hydro project funding and you say it has no credit in starting Dasu?Land is being procured at Dasu site for which govt allocated Rs 50 billion in budget 15-16 and sir you say govt has not done anything for Dasu? 4100 mwatts .(phase 1 and 2)
2-Sukhi Kinari 870 and Karot 700 mwt u acknowledge about this govt .
It is altogether 5870mwatts which is not a bad figure either as our current hydel capacity lies somewhere arround 6500mwatts which is built in 65 years .(keep in mind that hydro construction takes time but is all done .
3- Coming to Coal power plants , When u dont have the bucks in your pocket you cannot dictate , chineese refuse to fund Gaddani , now what can you do with a crippling economy and govt still succeded in the financial closure of 1300 MWTS port Qasim , 1300 mwt sahiwal , 660 mwt thar and 300 mwts chakwal . Altogether it is 4590 mwtts coal power , it is a very good figure as the country does not have any reasonable coal power production . You must give credit to the govt .
4- Nuclear power plants , Govt succeded in the financial closure of Kanup 2 and 3 which will produce 2100 mwatts nuclear power . work is on and timeline is 2019. How can you ignore giving credit to the current govt ?
5- As all the hydel and nuclear are long term projects , can take 4 - 5 years easily , coal will take about 3 years if fast tracked , now after failure of Gaddani what has left with govt ? either wait for 5 years to get power or do something quickly , i would support govt here as Lng power will be at Rs 10 / kwt hr but will be available to out industry and households . Experts say that oil prices will some how be stable for 3 atleast , after that if the rate increases it will start to dilute with the upcoming coal and then hydel and then nuclear power . So the mix will be good enough even after 4-5 years .

Advantages of Lng plants over coal power plants .
1-More over the set up cost of coal power plants is double as compared to the Gas power plants . it is a major factor for govt to shift to Lng power plants as govt wants to get rid of shortage and it has limited amount of money to do so .For the first time govt opened its bag of PSDP for the first time .(less money more power )
2- Installation time is quite quick , it is just putting it on the foundation and its ready to peform while coal power plants is a long hessel of assembly and it takes more teething issues to smooth line it . SO LNG IS QUICK.
3- Maintenance time is more and more maintenance is required as compared to LNG plants .
4- Less pollution as compared to coal power plants .
