Put the Panel on the Dam. The Case Against Diamer Bhasha Fails on Its Own Arithmetic.
Normalise the capital-intensity comparison for capacity factor and the claimed 61% advantage for solar+BESS collapses to 5%; against a dispatchable reservoir the honest comparator is 62% worse. The real cheap megawatts are sitting on GENCO switchyards being auctioned as scrap, and on the reservoirs themselves.
