Not possible. Won't work. Pakistan needs to buy power on immediate basis & build thermal plants in the long run, Solar, wind etc are mere pipe dreams & will add negligible capacity.

the fact of the matter is that Pakistani leaders have ignored infra development in the country for decades . and find it convenient to blame others .
there is no other alternative except to buy electricity till their own infra comes into play .

this is a lack of planning for the past decade or two coupled with inept governance now, and a frail economy( we cant pay circular and internal debt).

And I hold BB, Nawaz Sharif, Musharraf, and this lot accountable for it.

the reason you guys are so off is because since 1989 you supported terror in kashmir. we focused on ourselves since 91, and we have grown.You were doing good till till 1989, but since you started this terror business over kashmir you are down the dumps.. and you will be there until you stop it.

we hav 21k MW installed capacity but dnt hav management to create electercity. Govt collects bills but not to create more electercity but to put in its own pocket..

Get a generator, best option.

1) Buy electricity from India.
2) Have same passion for developing infrastructure that you guys have for defense. Life will change.

We need a movement as strong as was the 'lawyer movement'
