Non sense and idiotic projects. They are good for posters and political propaganda only.
The costs are so high they are not feasible at all.

Last i remember the tariff for solar power was around 27 or 29 Rupees per kWh. And at that time the tariff for furnace based projects was around 18 per kWH (I am talking about the time when furnace oil was around 60k to 70k per Tonne - Now its 44k per Tonne).

With current current recovery issues and circular debts - how do you justify a 30Rs per kWH tariff? Who is going to pay for this high cost and who is going to collect?

So, in short these massive solar power projects are nothing but annoying haemmorhoids designed to make life of pakistani consumers miserable. Only benefit is to the thekedaars and politicians who use as political propaganda.

Isnt the expense not offset by the amount saved from not having to buy expensive foreign oil ?

And doesn’t increased economic activity owing to increased generation also diminish some of the cost ? Industry may prefer to pay a higher price over having their factories go idle for hours on end.
