PEPCO facing 1500 to 2000MW power shortfall


 LAHORE: Managing Director Pakistan Electric Power Company (PEPCO), Rasool Khan Mehsood Tuesday said PEPCO was facing a shortage of 1500 to 2000 MW electricity, Geo News reported.

Speaking in a programme of Geo News, the PEPCO MD cited slowdown in water flows in rivers as well as delays in transportation of furnace oil as the main reasons for the decline in power generation.

He said the power generation has dropped to 3074 MW which had earlier jumped to 5000 MW.

The other reason for the slowdown in generation is late arrival of ships carrying imported furnace oil by one-day besides the strike of oil tankers associations.
