PESHAWAR: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has granted a licence to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for setting up a company to lay power transmission lines and put up grid stations to supply electricity produced by units located across the province. Adviser to the chief minister for energy and power Himayatullah Khan told Dawn that the Nepra had approved the province’s application for the issuance of licence for the transmission and grid company formed by the province lately. The provincial cabinet had approved in May last year the formation of the KP Transmission and Grid Systems Company (KPT&GSC). The adviser said the company’s establishment was the constitutional right of the province.
