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.

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.
