The prolong load shedding is now out in full blow . Power failure ranges from 6 to 8 hrs a day . KESC has announced that this process is here to stay and so people should get use to it . The deficit will remain for 6 months to a year . According to reports
The severe power shortage in the country surged to over 4,500 megawatts when saboteurs blew up gas pipelines, causing suspension of supplies from Zamzama and Pir Koh to some power plants and forcing Pakistan Electric Power Company (Pepco) to undertake ‘unannounced’ loadshedding.

According to Pepco officials, the crisis hit the 1,326MW Muzaffargarh Power House, which on Tuesday was producing only 550MW — a loss of 776MW. Similarly, the 1,250MW Kot Addu Power Company was producing only 800MW, with a net loss of 450MW. The Faisalabad Gas Turbine Power Station, designed to produce 170MW, remained shut, and so was the 200MW rental power unit.

Hopes are steady that once the dams start filling up the power deficit will be met . however cosidering teh current situations this seems really far fetched .
