Electricity Problem's in Pakistan

4. Those who have “houses” should start installing solar-panel for electricity storage as UPS is draining the same power source and sort of more than doubles up the pressure on distribution system, also they could install wind-based power solutions.

To add to this, people who have UPS can add “Solar Panel” as primary ‘charging’ source so even if grid power is available UPS will charge via SP. This way the consumer benefits double up because when loadshedding occurs during day time and their UPS battery runs out of power SP can continue to provide them power.

The only viable solution is to
a) Enhance the electricity tariffs… this will automatically induce conservation as far as consumers are concerned.

Knowing our people, this will have reverse effect, as there will be more people justifying theft of electricity i.e. why pay bills when we can’t have reliable power.

@yazdi

We have to construct dams and use coal reservoirs to generate cheaper electricity. Solar, wind, thermal, and other avenues of generation are way too expensive..

The purpose of this thread is: what a consumer can do to become part of solution (instead of whining/crying/protesting), not what government needs to do
