The real question is why the capacity was increased when there was no support of distribution. It was clear that old government made lot of Under table money through kickbacks by increasing capacities.

Thanks Dr Taimoor. All your programs are objective and revealing the deep rooted contradictions

To the point explanation of recent issue. You are doing much better job than many of News Channels.

I live in the UK for 15 years, not even once faced load shedding. Because the national grid has the capacity to provide the whole country because of continuous investment by private and government entities

An eye-opening analysis, I think we people should take strict actions against the govt to initiate self sufficient steps.

Basically we are paying the price of kickbacks for giving such sweet heart deals to IPPs

Thanks you very much Dr sb, I loved it when you said at 9:10 "2 takay bhe nahe bachaen gay" I think it's time when we stop saying takka as we are lowest

بہت شکریہ آگاہی کا ڈاکٹر تیمور

Very informative. Dr. Taimur you mentioned the IPP policy of 1994 but did we not double down after 2013? This is important as 1- The old 1994 plants were mostly small around 150MW 2 - Oil and coal prices in the following 8 years were low enough 3 - my understanding is the capacity payment on those projects will be very small now 4- The projects from 2013 are much bigger and were signed when oil price was over $100/bbl vs below $30 in 1994. So it was a much bigger mistake.

Meny ye video deer se dekhi or kam ilmi ki wja se dost se debate hara...i wont deley even a day for the next video❤❤❤❤

Thanks for explaining such a complicated economic issue in simple words. Lets hope your recommendation for renegotiating the agreements with the IPPs is taken consideration. Otherwise the masses are on the verge of revolt. On the other hand the IPPs should also realize the thininning of eonomic situation of the state. If the state remains economically stable then their investment would be of some worth In case of chaos and anarchy they wont be able to get a penny. Lets hope the sanity prevail on both sides and the poor consumers are given relief.

Karachi has a favourable location for cheap generation of wind energy but optimization is the last thing I expect from Pakistani policy makers.

Very good analysis, you should be advisor to the Government, wish it accepted the advises of educated people like you ❤️🤲🏻

Thank you very much Taimur Sb., as always you have come up with data and solutions. thanks again.

Thank you for being another person who provides clarity in the time of question. To whom one needs to question.

Dr Taimur Sahib, your videos are very informative on this critical subject. Your analysis are realistic, full of wisdom and true.

Sir hatts off to you for spreading such a valuable information

Quite apt analysis and suggestions. Much appreciated Dr.Taimur for weighing in.

very well explained. 1.I suggest, when you speak of a year, mention which govt. it was. 2. How Nanyang IPPs set up by politicians. Why must they be paid dollar prices? 3. How many local companies set up IPP. Why must they be paid dollar equivalents? 4. Increasing transmission line is a must. We should see this as defence of Pakistan. Defence budget should be utilized. 5. Quaid-e-Azam started Pakistan with 7 ministries. It is ridiculous a caretaker needs 22. Cabinets and others should work for Pakistan, not for grabbing privilege and perks.

The best thing is that you have given the solutions and not just blatantly criticized everything.

Thank you for making such short video yet very comprehensive and informative. Please keep doing such work.

Video is well presented with proper facts and figures.

Renegotiating will be even more expensive. Those sovereign guarantees are ironclad. That was the whole purpose.

Thank you for all the information. It was objective and to the point. One small request. If you could share the sources of your information via links in the description, it would be very helpful.

Excellent

@TaimurRahman1975, can you please invite Shabbar Zaidi for an interview? I have seen him do TV and Internet interviews and I think, he wants to get a message across but I don't think people interviewing him didn't know the right questions and weren't able to do justice.

Islamic republic of Pakistan is on path to achieve greatness when it comes to performing worst economic output great job !!

You are doing great work sir.

Appreciate it Taimur sahib,, very well explained.

Very well explained, Taimur Sb

You just have opened our minds sir ❤ i love it.

Thanks for this informative video.

Thanks for sharing this

well explained. thanks

A very good summary Taimur. I've had the pleasure of being an auditor for 2 IPPs, let me tell you I was surprised to see the agreements. The first step should be to re-negotiate and acquire the IPPs that are owned by Pakistan based Investors/Owners. The government should financially suffocate these IPPS to and make them divest. I am not pro Imran Khan, but at least his government started to question and re-negotiate these killer contracts and got some relief. These crooks should be made answerable and brought to justice for the kickbacks, commissions and fatal decision making that is causing the tax payers to commit suicides. The tax payers (awam) paid to build these institutions first, they privatized those institutions and now the tax payers (awam) are paying to subsidize the same privatized institutions.... Jago Pakistanio khuda ke liye jago! Look what they have done to you and your generations. Anyway my full support to your recommendations! :)

Informative video❤

Great job sir

Thank you for this insight!

If IPP agreements are signed for Capacity and not actual consumption then Pakistanis should find who signed such agreements. Such signatories should be punished immidiately as these sound clear cases of putting money into someone's pocket. Pakistani people will be paying for such money for generations.

6:15 to 6:18 ... What a shot 🤣

Sir, waiting for the longer version.

Very well explained sir!

"John Perkins" the economic hitman was absolutely right Spot ON "bullseye"...!!! 😮😢

Thank you for educating us sir

Im from karnataka state of india.. We literally have 200 units free electricity for everyone but wr don't usenthat much we use 180 units maximum😂

Very informative sir. My mentor.

Good job keep it up

Beautiful explain

I totally agree and endorse the comment made here by Dr. Rahman from Canada He rightly said: “Mashallah Zabardast Tajziya aur Tabsara ! Taimur saab we are willing to give you 5 minutes 5000 times, but to get any real outcome, please ask the men in green uniform to give you 5 minutes. If you are able to satisfy Pindi Boys in 5 minutes, I will vote your for Next Nobel Prize.”” Sir ji please let us know if you succeed in convincing the real owners of Pakistan, which is not Awaam but the Men in Green from Pindi Abpara. Pakistan Paindabad

Then why if generation is above 41K MW then why transmission is only till 22K MW?? When this would be too resolved alongwith continuous hike in price of electricity

should do a further talk on the a) addition of various non-electric related taxes on electric bills including income tax? b) Impact of these high bills on the budget of poor/MC people & future implications of civil unrest, crime etc

Great sir I really impress

Respected Professor. Mr Ishaq Dar is CA , and can run an accounts department of some commercial organisation. He doesn't know Economics and not have slightest idea about country Economics. We need an Economicist. IMF/ Financial institutions asking for Economic Restructuring, and all of doing jugglery and passing times. Mr Shaukat Aziz also did the same things. They know how to make fool their Rulers ( because they don't know anything about Economics) . Today's position is collective Garbage of last 40 years. No one is ready to tell you the Truth. Sovereignty given by IK regime to SBP was worse than East Pakistan fall. Now everything is collapsing and no remedy is available with the Rulers. This is harsh reality. It's a slope and we are shipping on daily basis.

Absolutely Correct. Thank you for rational analysis.

Nicely explained 👌

Extraordinary information.

Great video but this can only happen in Pakistan alas

Thanks Dr sb

Privatisation is never ever in favour in general Public 2:14

Sir ji tusi great hu ❤

The only positive (news) in this video is how comprehensive, fact-based and well explained the information is

Keep up the good work!

outstanding explanation....

Sir issi tarah aik video dollar rate and fuel prices par bhi bana dein..

I have watched your all philosophy lectures sir

Dr. The private investment brought in for building power generation capacity is exactly like when the east india company raised private funds from britain to build rail in india which was guaranteed by tax money collected in india. Such high subsidies with a high possibility of increasing even further and increase in price of dollars will fuel massive inflation in addition to the currently already prevailing high inflation. Gov. will have to increase subsidies to reign in civil unrest high prices will cause.

Greatly explained

good analysis

بہت اچھا وڈیو، لیکن یہ بتانا “بھول” گئے کہ ۱۹۹۳ میں حکومت کس کی تھی اور Ipp والا کارنامہ کس کا تھا۔

Dr sb please provide advice for hydrogen system as discussed.

Major imported coal and RLNG based power plants were built by PMLN in 2013-2014. Because of that we are suffering heavily

Sir pura energy crisis py video bna dy

Please mention name of person, companies and woners of those private firms to hom subsidiaries have been granted. Who can cancel those bands , contracts ECT in the best interest of people.

Thanks for explaining

Bijli chori need to be addressed too. Aik aur kharabi bijali ki chori hy jo ap k gali mohalay, humsaey mein ho rahi hy jis ka khumyaza hum sb bhughat rahy hein. Total Electricity Theft بجلی چوری By Region* Peshawar PESCO- 37% Sukkur SEPCO - 35% Hyderabad HESCO- 32% Quetta QESCO - 28% “Meanwhile* Multan MEPCO - 15% Lahore LESCO - 11% Gujranwala GEPCO - 9% Faislabad FESCO - 9% A total of *520 Billion* was lost in last one year. All of this is recovered from those who pay bills.

ماشاءاللہ ❤ پاکستان مدینہ کی ریاست ہے اور مدینہ کی ریاست میں فیکٹریاں کارخانے بجلی پانی گیس انٹرنیٹ موبائل موجود نہیں تھی ہمیں بھی پاکستان مدینہ کی ریاست میں یہ چیزیں نہیں چاہیے یہ سب کافر کی ایجاد ہے

Just a Question Dr Sahab, If pakistan really has that much capacity of producing electricity. Why do we still face loadshedding? Is it because the power plants are not working at their full capacity? If so why are we paying for a service/product that is not even being produced?

There has been no light in my village for many years.

Please make these kind of more videos Thanks

Ye kitne kitne paise han ki capacity me de rhe ha. Or khtm nhi ho rhe koi samjaye ga??? Plzz

great analysis

What a country we have ... Why we built it ?

Very nice analysis

Dear sir, Please mention a remedy for electricity theft as well... Digressing a bit from the main topic here do you think the BRICS currency has the potential to devalue Dollar and if it is the case how much time will that take. Regards

Full support for govt to increase the electricity bill and gas petroleum diesel❤❤❤, and full support to awam for not paying these bills🤗, full support to both

Sir please make a comprehensive video on Power sector reforms.

Ab Pakistani awam aisy contracts ka bhoj nahi utha sakti. Forun in contracts ko khatam kiya jaye!

۱۹۹۰ میں سوویت روس ٹوٹ گیا تھا اور امریکہ کا مقصد پورا ہوگیا تھا۔ انہوں نے ساری دنیا بشمول پاکستان کے سوفٹ قرضے بند کردیے تھے اور ہمین کہا گیا کہ آپ اب کمرشل بینکوں سے قرضے لیں۔ ساتھ ہی ساتھ واپڈا کی نجکاری کا پلان شروع ہوا اور PPIB کی تشکیل ھوئی۔

and yah mohida kitnay time kay liay hay ?

Excellent Explanation by Dr Taimur Rahman. In short the cost of 'barq e tajalli' is also included in the damned consumers' bills!
