ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) – Power outages are continued across the country as power shortfall has swelled to 4700 megawatt (MW) on Tuesday.
According to National Transmission And Dispatch Company Limited (NTDC), the electricity demand is 16,100 MW whereas the production is 11,400 MW. Besides this, urban areas are facing nine hours and rural areas 11 hours of power outage.
Sources said that power demand is gradually rising due to hot weather whereas water outflow has not grown in big dams as a result of which hydroelectric production is not being raised.
Moreover, hydroelectric sources are generating power half of their capacity due to which loadshedding duration is not being minimised.
