Engro Energy Limited (EEL), in its efforts to address the opportunities and challenges for market reforms in Pakistan, is organizing this symposium with an aim to bring relevant stakeholders on a platform to deliberate on the challenges of future.

Engro Energy’s VP Business Development, Shahab Qader, while expressing his views said ”This symposium is a one-of-its-kind initiative by Engro Energy Limited.

The symposium will enable deliberations on the regulatory and commercial aspects of this transition.”
