ISLAMABAD: The public authority has effectively closed talks with 14 leftover heater oil (RFO)- based free power makers (IPPs) under "take and pay" terms, The News covered Sunday.
This improvement comes right after Top state leader Shehbaz Sharif's declaration with respect to the staged closure of obsolete power plants the nation over, pointed toward handling taking off power costs and further developing energy effectiveness.
Moreover, the Public Transmission and Dispatch Organization (NTDC) has given a changed legitimacy request, inciting the Service of Energy's team to start converses with administrators of force plants utilizing exorbitant fills like high velocity diesel (HSD), RFO, and yet again gasified melted petroleum gas.
