Energy solutions: LNG import to alleviate crisis

ISLAMABAD:

Imported LNG could generate electricity around 1,100 megawatts, which could resultantly address the current power crisis to some extent, said a senior analyst Nawaz Raza.

Talking to Radio Pakistan, he said there is a yawning gap between supply and demand of petroleum products, causing the increased prices; however, the government is committed to addressing the energy crisis.

He said people should pay electricity and gas bills, adding that the provincial and federal governments needed to work in this regard.

Analyst Zafar Iqbal, also present in the programme, said people will be facilitated when imported LNG lands in the country, enabling industries to increase their production.

He added that there was a need to change the mindset. The culture to steal gas and electricity must be brought to an end, adding that laws must also be enforced strictly to discourage the menace.
