Meanwhile, several plants have been shut due to the shortage of oil, gas and coal, the sources added.
Due to the widening shortfall, several parts of the country are suffering 10 to 12 hours of loadshedding daily amid hot weather. However, the duration of loadshedding is more than 12 hours in areas carrying higher line losses.
Due to the unavailability of data, the schedule loadshedding procedure is not being applied, the sources added. In Karachi, the K-Electric, the sole power distribution company in the metropolis, is observing 9 to 10 hours loadshedding daily.
It is pertinent to mention that the government has said that the issue of loadshedding will be solved in the next couple of months.
The energy crisis in Pakistan has deepened as the electricity shortfall widened to over 7,000 megawatts, it emerged
According to power division sources, the demand in the country for electricity has surged to 28,200 megawatts amid the sweltering weather conditions while the power supply is 21,200 megawatts, with power shortfall surging to over 7,000 megawatts.
Currently, the country is obtaining 4,635 megawatts of electricity from hydropower, 1,060 megawatts from the government’s thermal power plants and 9,677 from the IPPs, said the well-placed sources.

its previous tenure, the PML-N had attempted to overcome the power shortages and plan for the future by inviting foreign investors and lenders to help establish a series of power projects which would offer them guaranteed returns. These plants are run mostly on imported fuel.The Covid-19 pandemic offered many lessons in work-from-home and hybrid arrangements, which can be reintroduced if residential areas can be guaranteed uninterrupted electricity.
Another option would be to negotiate with traders to restrict commercial activities to daylight hours, which can help considerably in saving electricity.
For the long term, the political class urgently needs to work towards a multiparty consensus on the country’s long-term energy goals.
