Urban areas face loadshedding for 16 hours whereas those residing in rural areas suffer power cut off for 20 hours as power shortfall mounts to 5,000 megawatt.
Pakistan State Oil (PSO) has minimized fuel supply to power plants in the wake of non-payments in addition to cutting the gas supply.
Hydroelectric power generation has declined to a meager 30% due to reduced water flow, which has significantly shrunk the electricity production.
Total production of electricity has trimmed down to 8,360 megawatt whereas the demand rests at 13,760 megawatt.
Spokesperson Energy and Water said that fuel supply to power plants is continued as per routine whereas loadshedding across country is carried out according to the schedule.
