A significant decrease in the electricity tariff for industrial and local consumers is expected by June 2025, according to the Secretary of the Authority, Dr. Fazer Allam Erfan. This announcement came during a meeting of a Senate Committee for the Authority, where officials discussed the spices of revised or expired contracts with independent energy producers (IPPS).
According to media reports, Dr. Erfan stated that the government has evaluated the influence of consumers to measure network fashion and outside the network and take different steps to reduce customs tariffs. He added that the main restructuring of the energy sector is underway, including separating the responsibilities of energy purchase from the CPA-G and the introduction of a new operating system in the market.
Senator Muhsin Aziz indicated that the government effectively divides the current mandate of the National Recitation and Recitation Company (NTDC), and requires a new employment of emerging entities.
The Energy Department Secretary explained that a new organization, the independent system market (ISMO) has been created. ISMO will be supervised by system operations by integrating market operating functions for CPPA-G with the National Energy Control Center (NPCC) under NTDC.
Dr. Erfan confirmed that the restructuring plan is well planned to prevent disturbances between NTDC employees, with their functional security. He emphasized that the lessons from the dismantling of Wapda have been combined in this process, and they are tried with international best practices.
Senator Sayyid Sibli highlighted concerns about the long -term driving vacuum in NTDC, and she wonders how the organization works effectively without a full -time head. He stressed the importance of transportation planning in addition to the power plant facilities to manage capacity payments efficiently.
The committee discussed whether the restructuring will enhance the efficiency of the energy sector or create more complications. While Al -Amin explained that ISMO will act as a market for the market instead of energy buyers, the committee members stressed the need for strategic planning within the ministry to assess the long -term impact of new projects.
