National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) invites comments on a Licence Proposed Modification (LPM) submitted by K‑Electric Limited (KE) to modify its Generation Licence No. GL/04/2002. KE requests approval to add indigenous natural gas as a primary fuel option alongside RLNG and to recognise Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) as the gas supplier for the BQPS‑III plant.
