Waqas 48 Posted May 20, 2009 KARACHI: The electricity shortfall has risen to 2500 MW due to which load shedding of up to 10 hours is being observed in various parts of the country. The PEPCO officials confirmed that unscheduled load shedding was underway due to overloaded power usage especially in late hours. According to the PEPCO, power production stood at 12690 MW while its current demand is 15193 MW. An apparent contradiction in figures provided by the ministry of water and electricity, and that of PEPCO, caused confusion among the masses. The Islamabad Electric Supply Corporation, meanwhile, said consumers were being provided 925 MW of electricity against demand of 1323 MW. The IESCO spokesman said load shedding of up to 4 hours was being carried out in urban areas, while power outage of up to 6 hours was being observed in rural areas.
