ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Petroleum Musadik Malik has said that efficiency and productivity of energy sector in Pakistan have been increased due to China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) power plants.

According to a Radio Pakistan’s report, in an interview with China Economic Net, he said the more efficiently we generate electricity, the more the price of electricity will gradually decrease. Musadik Malik highlighted that the solution to Pakistan’s problems is to continuously increase Pakistan’s power, gas and petroleum infrastructure.
