Thia is what you get when you buy too many made in Pakistan goods.
*Quote: *The official said consumption rose sharply over the past year due to the purchase of 2.6 million air-conditioners, 1.2 million televisions, 5 million fans, 750,000 washing machines, as well as the electrification of 15,000 villages, the Dawn newspaper reported.
Re: Home appliance purchases push Pakistan into power crisis
Very funny Aalsi, but I think that as the purchasing power of the average Pakistani has increased over the last few years, this has added greatly to the consumption of electricity. That is what your article says, not the fact that it has anything to do with Pak-made goods.

Re: Home appliance purchases push Pakistan into power crisis
Well people have increased their electricity conusmption but they are not ready to pay the bills. As a result, line losses are increasing and power companies can not invest in new projects. KESC and WAPDA companies owe a huge debt to SSGC, NSGC and PSO and these companies got huge amounts to be paid to PPL and OGDC.
There used to be a time when TV was watched in the evening 5 pm to 12 am only. Nowadays people watch TV whole day.
Re: Home appliance purchases push Pakistan into power crisis
pakistans energy needs are in total crisis and ONLY SET TO GET WORSE. theres not been much mention of this on GS but the new 8pm curfew on business to close to better manage the available electricity is draconian. some analysts predict a shortfall of upto 30% of electricity in the coming years. whatever the percentage we have a massive problem here.

Until a few years ago people only had PTV as practically the only Pakistani channel that people watched, and thanks to this government's media revolution we now have a multitude of private tv channels that have cropped up. That is why people are watching more and more tv, and this is compounding the electricity shortages.

Yup, as the economy expands further and further people are consuming more and more, but at the same time they are reluctant to pay their bills - that is a curse of the Pakistani nation. Pure greed.
Re: Home appliance purchases push Pakistan into power crisis
You are right, but these ‘Pakistanis’ living in US,UK, etc don;t realise how bad the situation in Pakistan is.
it is 40 degrees here, and this govt has utterly failed in providing power, among a long, long list of it’s failures. Things are as bad as they have even been

Severe load-shedding in the city
By our correspondent
Karachi
Meanwhile, the KESC on Tuesday resorted to severe load-shedding to conserve 300 to 350 Megawatts of electricity. Amid a severe rise in temperature and humidity-levels the overall power demand of the city had shot up to 2235 MW. Numerous residential and business localities of the city experienced three to four load-shedding during the last 24 hours with each spell spanning well over two-and-a-half hours.
The situation of recurring, prolonged, and even nightlong power failures has been causing serious mental agony to residents of many major residential areas of the city. The city areas experienced power failures due to technical faults in the power distribution and transmission. The students taking their annual examinations have been the worst sufferers of the dwindling and precarious power supply situation. The low-voltage supply situation has been effecting functioning of various household precious electrical alliances.
