ISLAMABAD: The federal government has decided not to suspend 650 MW electricity supply to K-Electric as the National Power Control Centre’s (NPCC) 5-year agreement has expired on January 25.
Sources said that the Ministry of Water and Power has issued directives to the NPCC after consultation with the Prime Minister and asked the power distributer to wait four-five days for a decision in this regard.
The matter of 650 MW electricity supply to K-Electric could be brought before the Council of Common Interest (CCI) and the Ministry of Water and Power could come up with new conditions for a fresh agreement with K-Electric, sources said.
It may be proposed in the new terms and conditions that the power supply be brought down from 650 MW to 300 MW to K-Electric. And it is possible that this reduced supply may be linked to K-Electric’s assurance to operate its power plants at 100 generation capacity.
