Awais says IMF restrictions hinder flexible power tariffsEnergy Minister Awais Leghari speaking in a video message. SCREENGRABFederal Minister for Power Awais Leghari on Tuesday unveiled an ambitious roadmap to increase clean electricity's share in Pakistan's power mix to 90 per cent by 2035. He also revealed that limitations under the country's IMF programme prevent the government from introducing a market-based electricity tariff system that could lower power costs and accelerate the clean energy transition. Leghari said clean energy sources, including hydropower, nuclear, wind and solar, currently account for around 55 per cent of Pakistan's electricity generation. He said the government has been engaged with the IMF for several months to introduce a time-of-use tariff under which electricity would be priced according to hourly generation costs.
