K-Electric guaranteed Sindh Governor Imran Ismail that they will be ending load-shedding by the next 48 hours after they were promised of additional supply of gas and furnace oil to increase the power generated.
The guarantee was given to the governor by CEO of K-Electric Syed Moonis Abdullah Alvi in a meeting held at the Sindh Governor House.
This will bring a sigh of relief to the Karachites as they were having difficulties due to recurring power outages for a couple of days.
Due to power outage, people were having water shortage problems as many people were not able to run their water pumping machines due to no electricity.
Governor Imran Ismail tweeted “Loadshedding will start to decrease after 24 hours and will end in next 48 hours. He also said the federal government will be providing additional furnace oil to the KE.”
He also said that additional gas up to 100 mmcfd will be provided by the Sui Southern Gas Company to KE while which help in relaxing the stress of furnace oil shortage.
Governer Ismail also said that “due to non-upgradation of the system the company is not able to use the 500MW of electricity in additional to 650MW which is being provided from the national grid.
Charges on businesses
The issue of constant power cuts was firstly reported from the slums or underdeveloped areas in the city but later had consumed entire Karachi including upscale locations like Defence Housing Authority (DHA) and PECHS.
On the other hand, K-Electric was charging Sui Southern Gas Company or SSGC and federal and provincial government.
K-Electric said that the main reason of this load shedding the power supplier which supply power to the city as they said that they were receiving 50 mmcfd RLNG less from SSGC while the peak demand had crossed over 3,450 megawatts in the city and there is a shortage of furnace oil in the city which is used to make electricity in the city.
SSGC refused this claim and said that it has been supplying an additional 50 mmcfd to the power utility.
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) asked and demanded an inquiry to be on the matter and said: “Who is responsible for the shortage of furnace Oil and Gas.”
