Yes there is much potential but it is very expensive to setup a coal power plant these days. As I said before the government will need to kick start coal power plant projects and maybe have a joint venture with private firms.With that much coal and thermal potential Pakistan should be self sufficient on its electricity requirements
its all our mistake that we continue to elect impotent Parliamentarians those are failed to make consensus on a singly bloody dam, let Kalabagh aside... Every Pakistani should elect best candidate
I am sure you are aware of the state of individuals in Pakistan. I have seen corruption in all forms be it a fruit seller or a tycoon selling other necessities. Until we get our act together and work as a nation for the good of humanity we will be gifted with such leaders (also these leaders are from the nation).
I keep saying people need to start working together and rather than creating problems start solving them.
