The National Assembly Standing Committee on Power Division on Thursday sought complete detail of contracts made with Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in the next meeting.
The committee which met with Muhammad Idress in the Chair appreciated the constitution of Special Task Force to review the contracts made by the successive governments with Independent Power Producers (IPPs) to lessen the overburden on consumers in terms of electricity bills.
The committee however, directed that Ministry of Energy (Power Division) may take stringent measures to prevent the consumers from being overcharged in different heads of electricity bills and unnecessary load-shedding in different areas of the country and report back to the committee in its next meeting.
The committee expressed concern over the poor performance of K-Electric and decided to convene its next meeting in Karachi to witness the performance of K-Electric so that complaints against K-Electric could be addressed properly.
Earlier, the Secretary Energy (Power Division) briefly apprised about the efforts made to overcome the problems of overbilling and other issues.
