The Government of Pakistan's National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has received an application from Lucky Cement (Pvt) Ltd, seeking permission to supply surplus power to any utility in DHA City, Karachi, as a bulk power consumer.

To grant approval, NEPRA has asked all stakeholders, interested/affected persons and the general public to offer their comments in favour or against the approval for proposed modification in the generation licence of Lucky Cement.

Lucky Cement has stated that due to the non-existence of a distribution system in the near vicinity, DHA City has been without electricity since 2011. Furthermore, DHA City lies in the near vicinity (5km) of Lucky Cement and the impact of line losses of electricity supply would be negligible resulting in higher efficiency of the project with less environmental effects.
