It maybe good news for Karachi, but it looks pathetic for us as a country that we can't even generate enough electricity for our consumption.

I think if you "Read Carefully" Pakistan Generates enough power for it self and actually is in a position to "Export" some to neighbor countries. (Generally)
Currently Pakistan has long standing issues with Grid station and Transmission technology or infrastructure which is not being replaced or extended fast enough.
Lack of water (Hydro) in dams, nuclear power shutdowns for maintenance are other relevant factors.
Problem is quite 'Unique' in reality which has definitely given a wakeup call to all parties.
Looking at some posts, it looks like this ship is supposed to solve Karachi's power woes, but it hardly seems realistic.
This can probably bring some immediate relief for some areas. However, this is not the solution. The Arab bosses of KESC need to improve grid infrastructure in the city.

u know that with power theft aka kunda and bribing the meter readers.... no corporation can make money!!
I think this problem of kunda is a national problem, not just this city's. KESC needs to upgrade the distribution network, and this is independent of kunda problem.

This is definitely part of the crisis. People steal electricity, water and so on. Who is going to bear such losses? These losses are in billions if not trillions.
As I said, this is a national problem. So why blame just Karachiites?
If kunda system is the root cause of electricity woes then stopping this theft should be the prime responsibility of the government.
But actually kunda system is NOT the root cause. There are other factors, like lack of dams, high rates (government corruption is awarding contracts to IPPs), etc.
So electricity theft should not be tolerated and anyone doing it should be punished. But this is not the reason why KESC (or WAPDA) are in crisis.
Besides, kunda system or not, the grid network MUST be improved in any case.
Yesterday they were reporting that electricity produced from this plant is going to be the most expensive in nature, throughout the country, and will result in definite increase in tariff. i think better alternative for the govt was to pay all the out standing dues to KESC and then kick them harder to produce electricity to the fullest capacity and upgrade the distribution network rather than throwing huge amounts in these temporary measures. but who cares when the burden is to be borne by public and huge kickbacks are expected.
these losers can use all the force in killing innocent people in north west, but cannot do anything to stop kunda and bribing, because they themselves are involved in it
I remember the stats presented by KESC in 2008/9 "kunda System" create seepage/theft upto max 20% ,, which is considered "maintenance Loss" in developed countries,
so power theft is not a factor ,, but rather a cruel crime that people tend to commit and take it quite causally. Shame on such people!
No matter what govt does, nothing will change unless our awam learns that you are not suppose steal electricity. Also, govt should go after water/electricity thieves & prosecute them. That is the only people are going to learn.

and awam will only learn when they will be educated about it, not only on TV but in schools, and dont forget that majority of our awam does not go to school, and to make them go, is a job of the govt (not only this govt, i mean all of them), so it ends up again with the govt.
even the most "educated" ones of us, we the people of Karachi, are the biggest thieves of electricity
RAW and Mossad have been stealing electricity from Pakistan via the wireless towers they have built along the borders in Afghanistan. They even capture the light coming out of car headlights.

^ KESC Karachi Grid importing additional power from WAPDA Grid which also supplies to the North-Western and North-Eastern Regions.
Hopefully KESC will not require any power from WAPDA which in return will cater to the above regions with additional help (So help is still needed unless 'Hydro Sources' improve)
So it would be 'Additional' approximately Rs 6.50 more at the current situation. ^ All this fuss and articles based on 'criticism' only, should play a more
corruption preventing roll rather than a wild goose chase. For Pakistan this and such other projects are the need of the hour!
PS: I don't understand why this thread is so wayward ?
