Print[Ferro-Alloys.com] Pakistan Today reported that Pakistan Economy Watch on Sunday lauded the decision of the government to use Thar coal for coal based power generation and all conversions of existing as well as construction of new power projects will be designed on Thar Coal specifications.
The strategic decision is appropriate as prices of imported oil will never come down to reasonable level, gas supply from Iran and Turkmenistan remains uncertain while reserves of native natural gas are depleting.
Pakistan’s energy mix is far from balanced; the power sector is heavily dependent on costly fuel which is among the reasons behind circular debt and high electricity tariff, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.
He said that the government should adopt advanced coal conversion technology to transform inefficient gas based and dual-fuel fired power plants to coal-fired power plants.
Lauding the realization on the government level, he said that without Thar coal plan to cut electricity tariff by half can never become.
