ISLAMABAD: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has constituted a team of experts to examine the report prepared by the committee for power sector audit, circular debt resolution as well as future roadmap and prepare a detailed response and suggest suitable actions thereof. According to a statement issued by the national electricity regulator, it will take every action within its powers to ensure that consumer interest has not been compromised by carefully looking into any misrepresentation of facts and figures by any independent power producer as suggested in the report. The report has never been shared with NEPRA before despite a clear agreement at the onset with the committee’s convener. “Public hearings are held in

which all the stakeholders, including the government/power sector representatives, industry experts, members of civil society, media and legal experts participate,” it said. “Every single word during public hearing is recorded and verbatim transcript is maintained for any future reference.”
