Reshma power plant only producing 5MW of electricity: CJ
During the hearing of a suo motu case coupled with two identical petitions involving allegations of corruption in the award of contracts for RPPs, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) lawyer revealed that rent is being paid to the projects regardless of their contribution in production of electricity.
The Chief Justice added that the Reshma plant had been paid Rs4 billion and is supposed to produce 200 megawatts (MW) of electricity while only 5mw of electricity is being produced.
However, the lawyer representing the power project said that the plant has already started producing electricity but if required, the company is ready to return the advance amount paid to them.
The CJ also said that the Supreme Court is also reviewing technical faults in the RPPs as the new and old machinery cannot be evaluated on the same grounds.
The hearing has been adjourned till Thursday.

These crooks, they got the 4 billion when the rupee was 70 to the dollar and now they can return it at 90 to the dollar. Since all the funds were transferred out of the country. They should be asked to return the money in dollars. Just like the Hashwanis who did the same when Mush was president. All crooks
