ISLAMABAD: Tens of millions of people in Pakistan were left without electricity on Monday (Jan 23), the power ministry said, reporting a second "major breakdown" of the national grid during the last three months.

Factories, hospitals and schools across the country were without power for hours after a voltage fluctuation in the grid occurred between the cities of Jamshoro and Dadu in southern Sindh province, power minister Khurrum Dastagir said.

"There was a fluctuation in voltage and the systems were shut down one by one. This is not a major crisis," Dastagir told Geo TV news channel.

Outages were reported in the southern port city of Karachi, the capital Islamabad, the eastern city of Lahore and Peshawar in the north.


The sorry state of Pakistan's power sector is emblematic of an economy that has lurched from one International Monetary Fund bail-out to the next, with electricity outages occurring frequently due a lack funds to upgrade aging infrastructure.

When the grid broke down in October it took several hours before power was restored.

In Peshawar, a city of more than 2.3 million people, some residents said they were unable to get drinking water because the pumps were powered by electricity.

Mohammad Asim, a spokesman for the city's Lady Reading Hospital, the largest in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, said back up generators were used to provide uninterrupted electricity for the emergency ward, intensive care units, and laboratories.

The power ministry issued a statement saying that work was ongoing to revive the system, and the minister said that electricity had been restored in some parts of the country.

Pakistan has enough power installed capacity to meet the demand, especially in winter, when it mostly has a surplus.

But the country lacks resources to run its oil and gas powered plants and the sector is so heavily in debt that it cannot afford to invest in infrastructure and power lines.

"Generators are too far from the load centres and transmission lines are too long and insufficient," a top power official who did not want to be quoted because he was not authorised to speak to the media, told Reuters.

This is what happens when China's dirty money has run dry. Refer to Sri Lanka. :biggrin:

Money is but a tool. You still need actual efficient people to build and run an efficient system, be it infrastructure or an economy. Porkistan doesn't have efficient people. Too fixated with bribes, debt bondage and drunk on their islamic colonizers' religion.

Porkistan is controlled by punjabis as they are from the fertile indus basin. But most of the cultivated land are owned by a few prominent families. Farmers lease the land from these families.
The baloch and pashtuns numbering 40 mil who lives in the drier section of western pakistan wants to unite with afghsnistan. There are already border skirmishes and most likely, a full blown war between afghsnistsn and porkistan soon.

The border has already been decided by the good White man, Durand. Barbaric, illiterate mohammedans should just follow. Even the fair skinned porkis agreed that the Durand line is legit.

Many samsters think that almost any country in the world is better than the PAP. So I challenge them to migrate to those countries to live long term.

the combo of ccp and islamofascism makes it 6.9 times worse.

In most places of the world, islam and islamofacism means the same thing. PAP has done its utmost to try to civilize the barbaric and animalistic islam that is practiced elsewhere in the world.

It was the arabs who saved western knowledge, literature and wisdom from being destroyed by overzealous christians in the early days of arab liberation of the Mediterranean. And from these saved knowledge, the Europeans made a come back in tbe renaissance, the Spanish and portuguese built their armada from wealth and experience and knowledge from conquered muslim andalusia to sail around the world.

Porkistan had a taste of a real fast when nearly all porkis had no electricity for 24 hours.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The national power grid was restored in Pakistan, the energy minister said on Tuesday (Jan 24), a day after a nationwide breakdown left most of the country's 220 million people without electricity and caused tens of millions of dollars in industry losses.

The outage started around 7.30am (10.30am, Singapore time) on Monday, a failure linked to a cost-cutting measure as Pakistan grapples with an economic crisis.


Energy Minister Khurram Dastgir Khan said the grid was repaired around 5.15 am (8.15am, Singapore time) but load-shedding would continue over the next two days as coal and nuclear plants were brought back online.

"Industry will be exempt from this load-shedding," he told reporters in Islamabad.

Electricity returned to urban centres overnight, including the mega cities of Karachi and Lahore.

Secretary general of the All Pakistan Textile Mills Association Shahid Sattar estimated losses of US$70 million to the sector, Pakistan's largest exporter and crucial booster of foreign exchange reserves.

Around 90 per cent of factories shut down on Monday with gas supplies too "patchy" to stand in, he said.

"Each time there is a power cut the mill has to be restarted from scratch, which takes up a lot of time and resources," he told AFP.

"We can't pick up from where we stopped. All that thread that's in the middle of being dyed and treated, et cetera, cannot be used again. So we face massive losses that way."

The economy is already hobbled by rampant inflation, a falling rupee and severely low foreign exchange reserves, with the power cut piling extra pressure on small businesses.

WATER AND MOBILE SERVICE DISRUPTION
Pakistan's power system is complex and precarious, and problems can quickly cascade.

Khan earlier said a variation in frequency on the national grid caused the cut, as power generation units were turned on early Monday morning.
