How to provide relief to the masses?
Why Hullabaloo only on CNG and Fertiliser gas usage?
Why no audit of IPP's for maximum waste in Pakistan of gas and furnace oil compared to the rest of the world?
Why total income tax free profit allowed to the IPP's? This means rewarding the IPPs for colossal wastage of oil and gas and consequently producing very expensive electricity.
Pakistan must ensure that the efficiency of the (independent power producers) IPP's is improved immediately, if not to the world level, at least to the level of India.
Our gas-fired power plants consume up to 17,000 BTUs to produce one kWh, while India produces one kWh with 6,000 BTUs. We are wasting 11,000 BTUs just for nothing as compared to India.
Our furnace oil fired IPPs are consuming almost twice as much oil, to produce the same amount of electricity, than other comparable power plants in the world.
Now, calculate the monetary value of this waste of the oil and gas (as compared to India\world) and imagine the saving in cheap production of electricity to the government; and its consequential benefits to the people.
Increasing the IPPs efficiency will sharply bring down the cost of production of the electricity and greatly reduce the high power tariff burden on the general public. This can only be done by an energy audit of the IPPs, which the NEPRA has avoided, for the last eight years.
Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif Sahab, these are the management and governance issues; and if attended properly by your government, will result in huge relief to the masses. But some how, I apprehend that your bureaucracy\advisors are not giving you the true picture of the state of the affairs; and the power cartel is so strong that you look absolutely helpless. These people will never allow you to act on the out of box solutions. They just want you to keep on increasing oil, gas and electricity prices, according to their mad dictation.
Mr. PM of Pakistan, it is high time you reshuffle and also change your entire team, repeat entire team, else be ready for not many rosy days in future.

PS:- The information regarding high usage of gas and furnace oil by our IPPs, its comparison of production efficiency with India and the world and matter of NEPRA energy audit was quoted from the article of Mr. Farrukh Saleem, titled "Power Cartel" published by the daily "The News" dated October 6, 2013.
