At a glance

  • Pakistan's national electricity shortfall has surpassed 4,000 megawatts.
  • Urban and rural areas are experiencing 3 to 4 hours of daily loadshedding.
  • The LESCO region faces a 1,500MW deficit, leading to hourly power cuts.

Story so far

Pakistan is grappling with a significant electricity crisis, with the national power shortfall exceeding 4,000 MW. This has been caused by multiple power plants going offline and reduced hydropower output. As a result, authorities have implemented load shedding for 3-4 hours across the country. The situation is particularly acute in the LESCO region, where a 1,500 MW deficit has led to forced hourly power cuts. Officials warn the severe outages could persist for several more days.

Latest development

Pakistan's electricity shortfall has crossed 4,000 megawatts, leading to widespread loadshedding of three to four hours in urban and rural areas. The deficit is attributed to several power plants going offline and a decline in hydropower generation.

    Aik ghantay ke baad aik ghanta loadshedding. Chotay karobaar ke liye kaam plan karna bohat mushkil ho jaata hai. Is se to productivity par bohat asar parta hoga.
