Re: India offers Pak 5,000MW electricity
bhai they can buy electricity from where ever they want to provided the 'pay' for it, besides this is a short term solution, long term we will have to develop our own electricity.

Re: India offers Pak 5,000MW electricity
This is the focul point of this discussion and was hinted at by sharaabee.
Yes - I was just reinforcing what Sharabee mentioned, since there were a few naysayers. He appears to be an Electrical/Power Engineer and knows his stuff on this topic. My views were a bit less specialized.

Re: India offers Pak 5,000MW electricity
Pakistan has an electricity shotfall of 6000mw at present and India is reportedly offering 5000mw.
It has also been reported that IPPs in Pakistan are running below 50 per cent capacity due to non-payment of dues.
What you guys think about this development? Should Pakistan get electricity from India, or resolve issue of circular debt and make payment to IPPs?
We first need to resolve circular debt, if we can't do that then whether we buy electricity from Iran, India or anyone it will be nothing short of kickbacks business.

Long term and Pakistan? You are talking about two entirely different things. Right? :)

Re: India offers Pak 5,000MW electricity
The electricity would be double the price as compared to the tariff in place in the country,and it would be higher than the offer Iranians had made.
India offers electricity at Rs15 per unit | DAWN.COM
**ISLAMABAD: India has offered tariff of about Rs15 per unit for sale of 500MW of electricity to Pakistan at the Wagah-Attari border that would require a total of 45 kilometres of transmission line, a government official told Dawn on Friday.
**
A 14-member delegation of Global Energy, a company based in New Delhi, flew into Islamabad on a special plane on Friday for three-day talks with Pakistani authorities to negotiate electricity tariff, firm up technical and transmission details and finalise a sales and purchase agreement.
A four-member team of the delegation had an opening session with Water and Power Minister Syed Naveed Qamar who directed the Central Power Purchase Agency (CPPA), a state-owned entity that purchases electricity from various sources and sells it to distribution companies, to negotiate tariff and other technical details of the project.
An official said the Indian company with most of its operations in Mumbai and Bangalore was acting in the project as purchaser-cum-exporter of electricity from Indian Punjab through Amritsar and delivery at Attari.
**He said the company had offered an initial tariff of Indian rupees 7.5 per unit delivered on the border that translates into about Rs14.7 per unit in local currency.
**
**He said the Indian offer was on the higher side given applicable tariff in Pakistan at less than Rs8 per unit that would be negotiated by the CPPA. However, he said that electricity produced through furnace oil, diesel and wind in Pakistan cost between Rs15 and 22 per unit on average.
**Officials said that while the CPPA team would negotiate a maximum possible reduction in tariff on proposed import project but at the end of the day it would be up to economic managers and the political leadership to take a final decision on electricity import keeping in mind comparable sources of electricity available in the country.
They said the project would require a 45 kilometre of 220kv transmission line on both sides of the border, including 25 kilometres in India and 20km inside Pakistan.
If the project materialised, the CPPA would transmit electricity into national grid for onward distribution in the Lahore Electric Supply Company’s system.
Re: India offers Pak 5,000MW electricity
^ As I suspected before, the grids are not actually connected right now. I was surprised to hear all this talk before, it sounded like this was not even an issue.
Who is going to pay for this extra 45 km transmission line BEFORE the sale can start?
Re: India offers Pak 5,000MW electricity
India was waiting for SC decision on RPPs?
Its another rangbaz statement to diver attention from RPPs.
