Hey friend here is your answer------------------------

Hey

ONE of the primary reasons for the high cost of electricity in Punjab is the lopsided policy of totally relying on the private sector for power generation capacity addition. Punjab is the only exception in the country which has ignored the state sector and built all three supercritical thermal plants under the private sector in recent years. Further, the PSPCL has to pay fixed charges to the private thermal plants even for power not utilised and this amount is recovered from the consumers as a part of electricity tariff announced by the regulator. Now, the question is if the problem of high power cost be solved at this stage. The answer is yes, if the required policy corrections are made. The closure of state-run thermal plants without any alternative plan is prone to exploitation by the private sector. The need of hour is to take short- and long-term corrective steps.
