RECORDER REPORT
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani believes that 500 million cubic feet import of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) would help the country's powerhouses generate 2500 megawatts of electricity to bridge the present 7500 MW supply-demand gap. One can only hope that the government's plan would see the light of day. For years, the matter of balancing country's supply against the demand for electricity has remained a largely unresolved matter. Plans to import natural gas as one of the solutions to growing electricity shortages have been on the table for over two decades, but thus far have not materialised.
