Unless the govt readdresses the evil contracts with IPP's this exercise will also be less futile. As insane electricity will drive investors out instead of coming in.

The industrialization phase of CPEC did not take off. That is why power sector of CPEC has become a burden. Hope this kind of news is real, not just hot air.

Courtesy, Dr. Gohar Ejaz APTMA, we are told that four IPPs are being paid over Rs. 10 billion when they don't even generate any electricity. How shameful can it get? People in misery but corrupt live.
