Tariff sought for hydropower project
KARACHI: Sapphire Hydro Limited has approached National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) seeking feasibility stage for its 150MW hydropower plant, Sharmai hydropower project, being setup in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at an estimated cost of $400.7 million.
NEPRA would conduct a hearing in this regard on December 18, 2019. The company has sought a 50-year levelised tariff of US cents 8.1015/kWh.
