Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Wednesday emphasised the significant impact of Thar coal power plants in generating the cheapest electricity in Pakistan.
Speaking to media in Lahore, CM Murad highlighted that the Sindh government had advocated for investment in wind and solar energy a decade ago, a vision that is now shared nationwide.
CM Murad revealed that Thar coal power plants are currently generating over 3,000 megawatts of electricity, which is supplied to the national grid and later to Faisalabad.
He noted, however, that this electricity is not being supplied directly to Sindh.
"Thar coal could generate cheaper electricity for Pakistan, creating jobs and increasing exports with industries powered by it," he added.
The Sindh chief minister also called for a comprehensive restructuring of the power sector to fully leverage the potential of Thar coal.
