[00:01:12] electricity procurement.
[00:01:15] refer it to Allah After which, the buying and selling of electricity will be more competitive and transparent. Shehbaz Sharif's
[00:01:18] government is the first
[00:01:22] to implement this intention of the past 25-30 years.
[00:01:25] From today, the government
[00:01:29] will be out of electricity procurement in Pakistan.
[00:01:32] No one will have the right to sell to the government,
[00:01:36] nor will the government be able to buy.

[00:01:42] a practical implementation of a system
[00:01:46] where electricity producers
[00:01:50] and electricity consumers in Pakistan
[00:01:53] will buy and sell among themselves. Awais Laghari said that in the initial phase,
[00:01:57] consumers using more than one megawatt of electricity
[00:02:01] will benefit from this system. While gradually, its
[00:02:04] scope will be extended to general consumers as well. First,
[00:02:08] users with more than one megawatt will benefit from this,
[00:02:12] and as this system, God willing, gets refined in the next few
[00:02:15] years, its benefits will reach the common consumer,
[00:02:18] God willing. Industry will get cheaper electricity.
[00:02:22] They will be able to compete in the international market
[00:02:25] by making their production the cheapest. Their products
[00:02:29] will be exported to other countries, and they will succeed
[00:02:33] in getting the cheapest electricity for a very large part
[00:02:36] of their electricity costs. The Federal Minister for Energy said that
[00:02:40] in the past, questions were raised by various circles regarding the procedures for IPPs and electricity
[00:02:44] buying and selling. However, the government will
[00:02:47] no longer be part of this process. Instead, the buying and selling of electricity
[00:02:51] will be moved forward under a transparent system. Muhammad Usman, Pakistan Television
