Plus add, Cheecho ki Maliyan power plant, another flopped project..
What has IK done that sucessful??? WAIT, I forgot, he does NOT do anything. He just criticizes, will someone get him a job replacing that corrupt Lick-Man in ARY? IK would be a good journalist. In fact this is the best career for him. Don't do anything (as always), just TALK and complain about everything others are doing. But God forbid, don't ever do something, even building a 10 rupee sweet cookie for his followers
When people take risks and projects are run, 25% of the projects have serious risk of failure. The remainder 75% projects, ALL go through a life cycle, with which, 100% of these projects encounter risks of delays, late labor, manufacturing, shipments due to bad weather, snow, rain, sick people and all. Nothing you can do, this is how projects work.
If there is no corruption, than its fine. When billions are put into work, the ones which will be successful would triple up the money. Plus, your dad or IK isn't putting their personal money in. And by the way, what about the billions lost in IK's sit-ins? That's all allowed, but stuff being done in good faith and with international experts, if fails is an issue? This is like the Devil says "be careful there is a Devil out there"
The project is not flopped completely but we can say that it was ill planned and mis managed. They should have built 100 MW parks in 10 different areas rather than a single 1000 MW park. Even US did not made a park of more than 450 MW capability. Electric supply companies should install parks of KWs capacity in multiple cities. It will be easy to maintain and to distribute.
I agree with the general idea you presented. But the issue is, Pakistan's depth isn't much. So a storm or Cloud system that can disrupt the supply of sun shine, would usually over cast a region's Clouds easily, as there isn't much depth there.
But these are the first plants, the new tech has been introduced and is being managed by Pakistanis. Now there will be a support system built by the local businesses. Then, this entire Solar tech will become whole sale available to the masses as it will all be made in Pakistan (or majority of it would be). So if the first one or two plans had to be built with the Chinese input and standards (100 MW and 10000 MW), then so be it. You get the entire tech, process, manufacuring an management of it through working on it, not just paying for TOT and doing yourself (like India does and they fail a LOT and have wasted billions such as Kaveri engine, or LCA or SAMS as just a few examples).
When you want to join the big boy club and toy with all kinds of tech and all, you'll burn your hands playing with fire once in a while. No bigy, that's how you learn new things.
