The committee met at the Prime Minister House under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Power Division presented proposed amendments to the National Electricity Plan 2023-2027 covering integrated energy planning, expansion of power generation, supply of renewable electricity to remote areas, cross-border electricity trade and expansion of the transmission network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The amendments also deal with tariff design, energy conservation, system and market operations, risk identification, administrative arrangements, development of local fuel and technology capacity, research and development and digitisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
