Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Monday that the country needs to shift its power generation capacity to solar and wind power, stressing that the current electricity generation mechanisms are costly and depleting the national exchequer, APP reported. During a briefing at the Mohmand Dam site, PM Shehbaz said Pakistan had been facing a very acute problem of expensive power generation due to the import of expensive fuels and then subsidizing it for the consumers. He said it was a three-tier loss to the national exchequer, as the country had been importing costly fuels for the power generation and then reducing the cost of the power for the consumers.
