What's new

Work on 34,859MW hydropower projects ‘under way’

We need Bhasha and Kalabagh the most ................... First one will take 10 years and second one will take 5 years for completion but both will provide cheap electricity (all around the years) and both will provide water ...... WATER we need the most , other are mainly run of the river projects with very small water storage capacity .
 
.
was the vision 2025 but we wasted 10 years, if we start now it would be 2030-35 though no body is really serious.
only the projects spear headed by WB/AB or the one under private investment with huge returns(and expensive power) will be completed and govt will call this success.

no wonder we have the slowest growth rate in south asia despite a huge chunk of CPEC investment, once the investment dries, with decreasing exports we might end up with another IMF /balance of payment like crisis, infact if oil prices double we will have a crisis tomorrow (already with mere 15% increase the reserves are starting to feel the pressure)

serious reforms (taxation, ease of business, loss making entities, education, health)are needed. why do you think you have so many MOUs but no ground work, this is becasue of lack of reforms, even the chinese CPEC investment that is heavuly politically backed, get time and again irked by our difficult process

this is what the IMF, WB and AB are saying all along and honestly historically they have predicted everything correctly. remember economy is all about perception, if IMF/WB holds a bad perception of your economy, investment will not come

2030 looks more like now that these projects are most likely to be financed by China.

"The National Assembly was informed on Wednesday that the government has planned to initiate several hydropower projects along River Sindh that would have a capacity of producing 41,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity by 2030.

According to Parliamentary Secretary for Planning, Development and Reform Dr Ibadullah, the projects will be completed under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor’s (CPEC) long-term plan."
