'Pakistan to issue tenders for electricity import from India'

capacity is 20k mw
bt demand is 13000mw

instead of importing check the reason why are we nt producing when we have capacity installed uch more than the demand
 
disgraceful, this govt is nothing doing well

Only selling the nation in tiny bits and pieces at a timee

capacity is 20k mw
bt demand is 13000mw

instead of importing check the reason why are we nt producing when we have capacity installed uch more than the demand

Most of it is lost in stolen electricity and also we dont have a continuous national grid so surplus capacity in one area cannot be transported to a demanding area..leading to load shedding even with surplus capacity. And the import of electricity from India is just another zardari gimmick to fool the nation into thinking positive when it will not solve the real problem but create a lot of kickback for Zardari and Gangs!
 
Why from India you morons we should invest it to produce our own. ...........

Consider that Pakistan has four main geographical neighbors: Iran, Afghanistan, China and India. Who can provide electricity?

Also, just who is going to invest sufficiently to solve the problem indigenously, if you do not want to import power?
 
500 mw is very little .. it would hardly do any good to a single city..

we should import more from india,iran,and gas from turkmanistan

We can get plenty of investment if good governance can be installed. As demonstrated during the Mushy area.

That is a very big "if", if it ever happens in the foreseeable future.
 
Pakistan has installed capacity for 22000 Megawatts. The problem of load-shedding can be solved overnight if the IPPs (Independent Power Producers) are paid their furnace oil bill. But, if govt. pays the bill how will the corrupt politicians be able to make money by bringing rental power plants, importing electricity etc. etc.

We have adequate installed capacity; Govt. is corrupt and dishonest.
 
Who said India has surplus electricity ? Many states are facing power cuts...Whats with Indian politicians ?

Do you know how much Indian govt. is going to charge Pakistanis for the power?

Where as to power Indian villages your govt. has to invest in infrastructure, where as connecting Amritsar to Lahore require zero infrastructure.

Okay, so who has the money to pay the furnace oil bill? Do you understand what "circular debt" means in this case?
 
Disgraceful govt indeed. I saw a news where Dr Samar said that if govt invest 1.2-2billion $ in Thar Coal energy project it can generate the needed amount of electricity(& i think gas also) & at very low rates. But this corrupt ghaddari & co want $$$$ which they can only get if they work for rental powers & import of ecity frm india. Why don't any one in Pakistan understand that he is working to destroy Pakistan's already collapse economy more b4 leaving power, he want Pakistan to be depandant on enemies & hostile countries, why is their so fat brains of people who can't get it through their heads?

There is always option of negotiations, & anyhow this money has to pay any time in future. If govt was serious they should have negotiate & make that amount payable on installments.

So where is the government going to get over a billion dollars to invest in the Thar coal power project?

Already been done multiple times, going round in circles, nothing more.
 
my assistant who is from MADRAS says that they face 8-9 hrs load shedding on daily basis...

Of course they gotta set their priorities of their spendings. Just saw the news 1-2 days ago that WB gonna give 1.8billion $ to govt. Everything is possible if their is willing.

Its not about getting money, its about being willing or not!

I can organize local investors if govt. is interested to willing to extend equivalent to MFN privileges to the investors.

I think your Tharcoal Project is a research Project and World Bank don't fund research projects but Real time project where they can expect return of their loans with Interest.
