Pakistan loadshedding: 8 hrs for urban, 12 for rural

Loadshedding will be restricted to eight hours in urban areas and 12 hours in the rural areas of Pakistan, Wapda Minister Chaudhry Ahmad Mukhtar announced.

The minister expressed hope that the situation will improve soon as a result of the steps taken by the government. The elimination of unscheduled loadshedding is priority of the government, he added.

He further stated that presently the electricity generation is 10,500MW while the demand is 17,500MW.

“We are taking steps to enhance production to overcome the power crisis in the country. Water flow in Tarbela will improve during the next few days which would help increase the generation by 1,000MW,” he stated.

He added that additional gas and furnace oil supplies are being provided to power units to generate more electricity, and hoped that loadshedding will be reduced substantially in the next three months.
