National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has taken a significant step in addressing the energy crisis across the country by directing the National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) to generate electricity from garbage.
According to Nepra, the NTDC will now be responsible for obtaining information related to municipal waste from federal and provincial bodies.
Plans and proposals for generating electricity from waste will then be prepared in collaboration with partners. This new initiative is expected to not only tackle the waste problem but also provide a sustainable source of energy.—NNI
