The big one is PICRT under ministry of science and technology but they are using old technology so their cells performances are not more than 21% which is very low in todays technology thats why its better to take from china more efficient one and ask them TOT. thats the best option.

Good news! We really need to look for alternative energy for power, solar and wind energy are best options as Pakistan have hot desert of thar and cholistan and high wind coastal line of sindh and balochistan.

There was an agreement with south Korean company for installing a 300 MW solar plant near Qeutta Airport, that should also be finalized and work should start. Govt should also look for solar power in sindh.

2.2 Billion Dollars - > Only 1050 MW

Kala Bagh Dam -> 5 Billion -> 4000 MW -> You get water storage + free savings

Sound like we are wasting 1 Billion dollars

Solar is 4 times more expensive than hydro. It is a known fact that renewables are the most expensive source of electricity generation.
