The government has no choice but to implement load shedding to handle the ongoing gas and electricity crises at least until the month of September (July 7, 2022), energy advisor to the Prime Minister Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury said on Thursday (July 7, 2022).
Tawfiq said, they will advise the government to implement measures to reduce the use of electricity, including reducing office hours, prohibiting the use of air conditioning in offices below 25 degrees, limiting the use of air conditioning in mosques, and wrapping up social events like weddings by 7 o’clock in the evening.
In this context, a discussion with representatives of the energy and power sector was previously held at the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
Journalists were informed by the PM’s energy advisor, who advised everyone to exercise accountability and maintain austerity in order to lower the usage of electricity.
Rich or poor, this situation can be solved with everyone’s combined efforts, he stated.
He described the current situation as a “state of war.”
Government employees might work from home one or two days per week, he said.
The Prime Minister’s energy advisor said that power demands till September could be 14,500 MW during peak hours, but through the aforementioned efforts, the demands can be brought down to 12,500 MW. Then load shedding won’t have to be applied too much.
When asked how long load shedding will last in each region of the country, he chose not to comment.
He stated, “We currently have a 500 MW shortage; the shortage will be addressed by reducing demand.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
