Islamabad: The worsening power crisis has forced Pakistan Electric Power Company (PEPCO) to enforceĀ up to eight-hour load-shedding in the country.
The ongoing power crisis deepened as the Wapda daily report shows the power shortfall swelled to 3,935 MW on Saturday despite the fact temperature has come down in wake of current rain-spell and gust winds.
The countryās total power generation at present is 11,020 MW against the demand of 14,955 MW during the last 24 hours. The hydel generation stood at 2,711 MW, WAPDA thermal 1,571 MW, IPPs 6,538 MW and Rental 200 MW.
Some 630 MW electricity was supplied to the Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC), the report further said. Meanwhile, hydel generation was also reduced to merely 2711 MW due to low water inflow in dams. Water in the Tarbela dam has been at dead level and its maximum power units were not generating electricity
