Only 550 megawatts are being produced while circular dead has reached PKR 675 billion

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – It was stated by the sources that only 550 megawatts of electricity are being produced to meet nationwide needs which is a record low.

Government and private power plants have reduced their electricity production due to non-payments. Circular dead reached as far as PKR 675 billion because the private and government power plants were not granted billions of rupees in payment.

Currently, the country is facing long hours of unannounced load shedding. The big cities are witnessing unannounced power outage of about 4 to 6 hours every day.

If the power houses are not returned payments, the duration of load shedding is expected to worsen.
