National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) on Friday adjourned the public hearing held to discuss the K-Electric's plea of converting two units of its Bin Qasim Power Plant into coal because of public representatives' reservations. Representatives of consumers, lawyers and business community voiced their serious concern over K-Electric's plea of getting its generation licence of two units of Bin Qasim Power Plant converted into coal at a public hearing arranged by Nepra at a local hotel on Friday.
The consumers' representatives also raised legal and technical questions about the K-Electric's plea, requesting Nepra to inform the consumers about the pros and cons of the power utility's move prior to taking any decision in this regard. When they submitted their reservations against the K-Electric's move, Nepra officials adjourned the hearing for an indefinite period without taking any decision. Nepra was represented in the hearing by its officials - Naveed Sheikh, Khawaja Naeem and Syed Safeer Hussain - whereas Ghazyani attended the meeting on behalf of the power utility.
