PM inaugurates Attock Power Plant today

ISLAMABAD (APP) - Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani will inaugurate the 165 MW power plant of Attock Generation Limited on Tuesday.
Being the first power sector venture of the Attock Group of Companies under Power Policy 2002, the plant has vital significance at this crucial point in time when the country needs additional power supply to overcome power shortage due to continuously rising demand of energy in future and the accumulated backlog due to neglect of the power sector during the last eight years.

This plant, along with other power plants coming up in the near future, vindicate the confidence of the investors in investment friendly policies of the present government.
