I wish to congratulate the Attock Group of Companies on the inauguration of 165 MW Attock Gen Limited, the first Independent Power Producer (IPP) to be commissioned after gap of over 9 years. Pakistan is an energy deficit country facing a serious power crisis. The government inherited a shortfall of 400 MW.
The foremost priority of the present democratic government, therefore, has been to address the problems of power shortage. The government is meeting the energy challenge head on. Fifteen private power projects (IPPs) with a total capacity of over 2900 MW are at different stages of development.
Out of these 9 projects will be commissioned this year. The construction of two billion dollars Neelum Hydel Project in Azad Kashmir has also started it will generate 960 MW. Inauguration of Attock Gen Limited therefore, comes at an opportune time and it is yet another feather in the cap of the Attock Group of Companies, for which they can rightfully be proud of.
Backed by more than 90 years of successful operations in Pakistan, the Attock Group is a reputable and reliable name in the energy Sector. I am confident that the Professional Management and workers at Attock Group will continue to work with commitment and honesty to achieve excellence in the future also. I wish you all success.
