As reported, total power generation in the country is currently at 20,170 megawatts, while the total demand is at 26,700 megawatts, which is necessitating prolonged power outages across the country.

Loadshedding is being initiated for 3 hours in exempted areas, E-Electric Spokesperson notified.

According to the power division sources, at least 4,320 megawatts of electricity is being generated from water, whereas, the government’s thermal plants are generating 1,254 megawatts of electricity.

The total power generation of private sector power plants is 11,797 megawatts.

On the other hand, at least 1,257 megawatts of electricity is being produced from wind power plants and 119 megawatts from solar plants.
