Anyone can clearly see the difference in this model instead of IPP model, with extreme rate of returns and capacity payments. Owned by wapda like tarbella and mangla serving generations to come with cheap electricity no capacity payments, and even if we include loan repayment and interest will be less than RLNG or Coal production cost.

Just like we just raised $500m green bond for diamer basha dam.
