F.P. Report
ISLAMABAD: A spokesman of the Power Division informed the electricity shortfall increases to 1,200MW as power lines of National Transmission and Despatch Company (NTDC) tripped on Tuesday.
The official added that the power plants were affected due to tripping including one to four of the Chashma Nuclear Power Plant and adding that three LNG plants, Haveli, Bhikki and Baloki also affected with a combined production capacity of 3,600 MW.
The spokesman claimed that Chashma’s plants one and two could be operational by evening today whereas restoring the other two will take time.
Meanwhile, the Power distributors will thus be carrying out load-shedding to cater to the loss of electricity and adding that outages will take place keeping in mind high and low loss areas.
