@hanibal

The local IPPs and the contract with them is what is shoved in nation’s throat, the so-called IPP are working at 25-40% capacity yet, they take their time to pay to the PSO because govt delay their payment and that is because we the people either steal the electricity or does not like to pay ( in technical terms it is “line losses”)… and if govt threat to punish regions where line losses are high, then the so-called other political elected govt and its “speaker” and “CM” gets into the act and threat the federal govt..

so i agree RPPs are not the ultimate solution nor it is and desired one, but kindly give us alternate, the captive power plant you mentioned in your post cannot produce enough… so please enlighten us with the solution to the power shortage…

So how different these RPP’s would be from the other IPP’s?

When we cant settle the circular debt for them, how will we pay these ones off?

Mind you the same guy (Kh Asif) went to the court against these RPP’s and now he is championing their cause. How come they were detrimental for the country during PPP time and need of the hour now?

I’ll reproduce again what he used to say in 2010.

He accused the water and power minister of misleading parliament and the public. He said his own answers during parliamentary proceedings and the Pepco figures pointed towards a comfortable energy surplus without commissioning a single RPP.
