ISLAMABAD: The leader of the house in the Senate Shibli Faraz Tuesday said the government will make functional the Lakhra Power Plant, which was shut down due to a fire incident in the underground cable tunnel on July 20, 2017.
While advisor to prime minister on parliamentary affairs Babar Awan told Senate here that the repair of the Lakhra plant was completed in December 2017 and its unit two was ready for operation.
Lakhra power plant has two out of three functional units of 50 megawatts each at de-rated
capacity of 30 megawatts each.
Babar Awan said, the persistent closure of the plant was due to negligence and the matter
will be sent to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to fix responsibility.
