In a groundbreaking move, Pakistan’s leading energy companies have agreed to reduce electricity production tariffs, providing much-needed relief to the public amidst an ongoing energy crisis. This commitment comes in response to a request from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who has been working tirelessly to make power more affordable for Pakistanis.
Liberty Power Producers and other major power companies, including Gul Ahmed Energy Power Plant, have pledged to lower tariffs, demonstrating their dedication to tackling the country’s energy challenges. Danish Iqbal, Chairman of Gul Ahmed Energy Power Plant, emphasized the collective responsibility of all stakeholders in addressing the crisis.
“Our primary goal is to lower electricity tariffs for the people of Pakistan,” Iqbal stated, highlighting the need for a unified approach to overcome the energy crisis. “We must work together to find solutions that benefit the nation.”
Gul Ahmed Wind Power Ltd also reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring affordable energy for consumers while contributing to Pakistan’s economic growth. Iqbal stressed the importance of harnessing renewable sources like wind and solar power, which would significantly reduce production costs.
To achieve this goal, Iqbal suggested engaging foreign investors and lenders to create innovative solutions for producing cheaper electricity. “We need to think outside the box and explore new avenues to increase output while reducing costs,” he added.
As Pakistan continues to face an electricity demand that exceeds production, energy producers are exploring innovative ways to increase output while reducing costs. Iqbal noted that engaging foreign shareholders and switching to renewable energy sources will be crucial in achieving this goal.
The companies’ efforts to reduce tariffs are a significant step forward in easing the financial burden on consumers and stabilizing the power sector. This historic agreement is a testament to the government’s commitment to addressing the energy crisis and ensuring a brighter future for Pakistan.
