Pakistan electricity


The power failure, one of the worst Pakistan has experienced, caused electricity to be cut in 80% of the country, including major cities and the capital Islamabad.

The whole of Pakistan just produces 7000 MW!!!! I am shocked. It's eastern neighbour , the Punjab state of India has an installed capacity of 7500 MW and produces at least 6000 MW. This state has a population of only 2.7 Crores against 20 Crores of Pakistan

compare with india,toal capacity 2,55,000 MW with many states having surplus power.only solar power generation to reach 1,00,000 MW in 2-3 years.

Pakistan's electricity distribution system is a complex -- and delicate -- web and a major fault at one section often leads to chain reactions and breakdowns of power generation and transmission
