Pakistan is suffering from grave energy crisis. In 21 century it is impossible to survive without electricity so this should be top priority of govt. First we have to look y their is electricity shortfall when we have more installed capacity then demanded. Means of production are not affordable for companies and 70 percent of electricity is produced from furnace oil and gas. They can't afford to run at optimum capacity because of high cost and inefficient production facilites.so what needs to be done? Close these companies yes u read it right. Most of our neighbours are energy gaints and produce cheaper electricity as compared to us and they are vigoursly persuing to export their surpuls electricity.our electricity demand is around 16000 megawatt.our hydel production 6000 megawatt and furnace oil production capacity is more than 10000 mw.we can close these oil based facalites.
Iran can export 5000 megawatt to pakistan(Iranian power minister said recently) , we can purchase 3000 megawatt from Turkmenistan (mou signed for one thsnd) their govt is interested to sell 3000 mw .Afghanistan has agreed to less transit fee for agreement and 2000 megawatt from china which she has expressed interest in selling. They produce cheap electricity because their means of production are cheap. We need political will to fund transit lines and close this non sense furnace oil based electricity production system.it is a simple economic phenomenon to buy cheaply in other countries if u can't produce or manafcture it cheaply in your own country. We can stop funding to present power projects to build delivering and receiving facilites for imported electricity and fund hydel solar or coal power plants in long term and finally became independent and fortinutely none of these selling countries are political hegmons or our enemies.
- benefits of this plan:-
1-solving power crisis
2-ending circular debt
3-help relieve currenency of pressure from oil imports as electricity import will b cheaper .
4-Help industry by providing electricity and providing it cheaply
5- help cut subsides which can b used for other purposes
6-last not least help households out of this headache.
