“…In an attempt to relieve the pressure of power shortages, which results from the rapid growth of electricity demand, price controls are regarded as a useful short-term approach by a variety of countries. However, empirical analyses show that the electricity price has an adverse relationship with electricity demand and the performance of economic sectors (Mirza et al, 2014;Kwon et al, 2016). The cross subsidy policy has also received lots of critiques (Moerenhout et al, 2019;Pu et al, 2020).…”

Being affected by a variety of factors, power-generation structure plays an essential role in a high-quality and sustainable development. The focus of this paper is to evaluate the influence of electricity price on it. First, we provide a microeconomic framework to understand the impact mechanism. We discuss two effects through which price level can affect power generation, and then the power-generation structure. After that, an empirical test is conducted using provincial panel data, and the results of it are robust. We also test the above-mentioned mechanism empirically. There are two main conclusions. First, the electricity price has a positive effect on the share of thermal power in electricity generation. Second, the mechanism test shows that an increase of electricity price can not only improve efficiency of power plants but also propel firms to invest in more renewable energy plants.

“…Hussain et.al., (2016) focused on forecasting general and sectoral electricity consumption. Mirza et al, (2014) and Raza et al, (2015) gauged the impact of electricity consumption and conservation policies on the country's economic growth and trade. Kugelman (2015), Kessides (2013), Alahad (2012) and Malik (2012) studied the Pakistani power sector's governance and institutional issues.…”

On job training serves as one of the prime tools of staff capacity development and talent management in any public or corporate entity including the power sector distribution companies (DISCOs) in Pakistan. This DISCOs used this approach to train more than 400 officials at Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, hoping it to improve their performance in addressing Pakistan’s power sector crisis. This paper evaluates this capacity-building intervention by gathering the perceptions of trainees and top management to understand the ways this multi-level, integrated capacity-building program enhanced the professional quality of customer services. The question that emerges in backdrop of such initiatives is whether this and other similar investments in human resource development (through effective, innovative and relevant teaching) can improve efficient services delivery. The paper presents a thematic analysis of qualitative and descriptive data collected from randomly selected participants and reviews their feedback on this question. The results suggest a thorough examination of the relationship between human development and organizational capacity-building with indicators of service quality in Pakistan's power sector. Keywords: Innovative teaching, Training, Capacity Building; Transmission and Distribution Efficiency; Power Management
