How to get out of Electricity Circular Debt?

Steps:

1. Line up all pmln leaders & put a bullet in the back of their heads
2. Line up all patwaris & give them a 100 lashes for supporting pmln, 100 more for being low IQ dimwits & another 100 just for being patwaris

On a more serious note, the only fool proof long term solution is to simply grow your economy, specifically through production of goods & services. In addition to use by industry, ppl will have jobs & will be able to afford additional electricity that they otherwise wouldn't have used whether it's EVs, appliances, AC or just plain old light.

Also, reduce transmission losses so the electricity is actually getting to the consumer.

Building cheaper sources like nuclear or renewables isn't going to help in this situation b/c you're still going to have to pay for the energy produced by the IPPs. This would only matter if you're already using all capacity or once the contracts expire.

Don't know why ppl are talking of privatization. These ARE private, hence the word independent. Nationalizing them is a no go b/c it'll just reduce investor confidence even in other sectors.

Other things you could try as well:

Negotiate a new deal like PTI's Hammad Azhar did but those who haven't already agreed aren't likely to do so now.

Buy them out, except you don't have money.

Sell it to Afghanistan but this depends on their own economy & need.

Stop being a lackey of the Americans and work hard with a friend like China.

Just to consume more. Our pricing system should also be designed in such a way that it encourages more consumption. To achieve this goal we have to price electricity inversely. Meaning that those who consume less must be offered higher prices and high consuming customers must be offered lower tariff

You want to fix the IPP problem?
Send in regulators to conduct safety inspections, if they don't pass fine the plant as far back as possible. Make it as unprofitable as possible for them to keep that agreement. If they don't comply put the plant up for auction.

Finish tds and allow discos to set their own tariffs without nepra's meddling also allow private companies to sell power leasing the disco infrastructure like private isp lease ptcl infrastructure and offer electricity to people by installing prepaid meters

Secondly float sukuks utilizing idle funds in Islamic banks and convert portions of the debt to equity throughout the supply chain
