PESHAWAR: Secretary Energy and Power Nisar Ahmad Khan called foreign investment as a milestone in the coming days for the development of the energy sector in the province.
The senior official said that the natural resources of hydropower found in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are a valuable treasure here, which if not utilized will only save the country from the current energy crisis and can be extracted, but the province will also get billions of rupees annually from energy projects.
