In order to address the nationwide energy crisis, the National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) was instructed by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) to produce electricity from garbage.
Nepra claims that the NTDC will now be in charge of requesting information about municipal waste from federal and provincial organisations.
Then, in cooperation with partners, plans and proposals for producing electricity from waste will be created. This new initiative is anticipated to address the waste issue as well as offer a sustainable energy source.
Municipal waste has grown to be a major problem, so Nepra’s plan to make electricity from trash is a big step in the right direction.
Moreover, K-Electric, the sole power supplier in Karachi, has submitted its investment plan for the next 7 years to the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra), which aims to provide greater convenience to the consumers of Karachi.
However, the hearing will take place by Nepra on February 21.
The proposed investment plan indicates that K Electric will invest a total of Rs484 billion over the next 7 years, with a focus on transmission and distribution projects.
According to the plan, Rs289.0 billion will be invested in transmission projects, while Rs184.65 billion rupees will be allocated to distribution projects. An additional Rs18.51 billion will be invested in other projects.
The investment will be made from 2023 to 2030. The investment plan is expected to have a significant impact on the city of Karachi, providing much-needed relief to its consumers.
