  CHAIRMAN's MESSAGE
  SYED NAVEED QAMAR
Federal Minister for Water and Power (Additional Charge)  
 

Almighty God has blessed Pakistan with an enormous wealth of indigenous resources which can be used for power generation and include Water, Coal and Wind etc. Pakistan faces today a number of challenges, shortfall of electricity being one of them. Undoubtedly if untapped reserves of Coal and Hydropower are exploited expeditiously, Pakistan can overcome the shortfall and achieve self reliance in power generation. However, to exploit these resources, heavy investments are required, which the lean economy of Pakistan cannot afford without private sector's participation. The Private Power and Infrastructure Board (PPIB), created in 1994 is the dedicated interface of the Government of Pakistan for this purpose, and provides one-window facility to investors in the private power sector.
 

The present Government has taken many steps to alleviate the power shortages prevailing in the country in the shortest possible time period to eliminate load-shedding from the country. A number of medium and long term projects, both in public and private sector, are in the pipeline which will provide electricity to the national grid in the coming years

While efforts to induct additional generation capacity into the system are on, this still remains a challenge due to the growing demand of electricity, and we will be able to successfully meet this challenge if the private sector comes forward. A number of incentives are available under the power policy in vogue which make the investment in power sector lucrative.

Pakistan is a land of opportunities and the presence of all major national/multinational companies functioning in Pakistan is a proof of the same. We heartily welcome international power companies to come forward and work with us for the mutual benefit of these companies and the people of Pakistan.
