Lahore: Managing Director Pakistan Electric Power Company (PEPCO) has said that PEPCO was facing a shortage of 1,500 MW to 2,000 MW.
Talking to Geo News on Tuesday, Rasool Khan Mehsood cited slowdown in water flows in rivers as well as delays in transportation of furnace oil were the main reasons for the decline in power generation.
He said the power generation has dropped to 3,074 MW which had earlier jumped to 5,000 MW.
The other reason for the slowdown in generation is late arrival of ships carrying imported furnace oil by one-day besides the strike of oil tankers associations.
