Congrats on the initiative to Nawaz Sharif & PML. Certainly the Government as well good work has to be acknowledged

I am ok with slightly higher (rate) vs no electricity

There's a reason for that. The banks in UAE are sending emails to their clients that since UAE has signed the agreement with OECD to curb tax evasion and money laundering, the banks will perform periodic reviews of their customers to confirm if they aren't involved in tax evasion and money laundering.
So its obvious that Pakistanis, the third largest investors in the Switzerland of Middle East, would start withdrawing their money.

The price claimed by CM Punjab seems to be somewhere around or 5.41 Rs/5.15 Cents for new 200 MWs recently signed. Almost as competitive as hydal

And now 200MW at 5.51 cents. By next year we should expect rate of 4 cents in Pakistan and in 2018 maybe below 3 cents.

Lets hope so, as the country grows and stability reigns in, the risk-premia will also go down and hence the pricing offered by new investors.
