The document discusses the power shortage in Pakistan and proposes rental power plants as a short-term solution. Rental power plants have a faster timeline to becoming operational compared to traditional IPPs, with simple cycle plants taking 6 months and combined cycle taking 12-16 months. A case study compares the costs of a 165MW rental power plant over 5 years versus an IPP fueled by furnace oil over 25 years, finding that the rental option would save $157 million over 25 years. The document concludes that rental power plants could provide faster relief from the power crisis compared to long-term IPP projects.
