Islamabad: The government has prepared a winter package plan to use extra electricity in winter and spring.
According to the media reports, the winter package designed for the use of additional electricity in winter has been proposed to start in January.
It is also reported that the government has planned to increase the electricity demand from 8,000 to 15,000 megawatts, while a relief of Rs12 per unit was proposed to consumers who use excess electricity.
