Managing Director Energy Management Pakistan Electric Power Company (Pepco) Tahir Basharat Cheema said on Saturday that government is working on several power generation projects to overcome electricity deficit in the country. Talking to a private TV channel, he said the government has set the target of generating 35,000 MW by the end of December 2009.
He said two to three power generation plants would be added in the system every month, which would help in ending the load shedding from the country. He hoped that power situation would be improved in the country after the completion of all these projects.
Basharat Cheema said for cheaper electricity, the country has to move to hydro and coal for power generation. To a question he said Wapda has paid outstanding of Rs 93 billion to IPPs and gas companies while remaining dues will be cleared by the end of June.
