National January 1, 2021 LAHORE: The energy sector should be depoliticized and people having conflict of interests should not be appointed in any of the key posts in the sector. This will help end incompetency, nepotism and favoritism in the energy sector and lead to proper development of the sector. These views were expressed by the energy sector experts responding to the questions speaking at a webinar at Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) here on Thursday. The energy experts including Senior Research Economist Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) Afia Malik, Energy Specialist of Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) Dr Hina Aslam and Energy Research Center COMSATS Dr Iftikhar Ahmed suggested that the energy policy should be made focusing on available indigenous resources instead of import-base fuels such as RLNG and imported coals which resulted in increase in import bill and high cost of the energy. Additionally, import-base energy generation also needs to be reviewed monthly basis to stop distortions and instability for the sector, hence, hampering investments.
