SESSION 1: The Story of Electricity in Pakistan
What caused the recent nationwide power outage in Pakistan? Why do we continue to have load shedding? Why do our electricity bills continue to rise? What is circular debt?
How is electricity generated, transmitted and distributed in Pakistan? Why do successive governments blame each other for the repeated crises? How is really to blame?
Dr. Tariq will focus on ‘Electricity’ – the most cost intensive sector after the army in Pakistan and everything you wanted to know about it.
Join him and in an interactive 75-minutes session.
What you will learn:
- How does Electricity get to your homes?
- Why does its price keep rising?
- What can we do to help?
