LAHORE, August 09 (APP)- Pakistan Electric Power Company (PEPCO) has suffered another 1825 mega watts shortage following suspension of gas supply to various power plants. The PEPCO spokesman told APP here Monday that Kandh Kot Gas Field, Sindh, and Qadirpur Gas Field, Punjab, have suspended gas supply to power plants including Fauji Power Kabirwala, Rose Power Plant Shorkot, Orient Power Plant Balloki, Saif Power Plant Sahiwal, Gas Thermal Power Station Faisalabad, Engro Power Plant, Dherki, Sindh, Liberty Power Plant in Balochistan, Altern Power Plant, and four units of Kot Addu Power Company (KAPCO).
The suspension of gas supply to power plants, he added, has reduced the electricity generation by 1825MW, which ultimately increase the load-shedding duration in the country.
The spokesman also appealed to the power consumers to cooperate with the PEPCO for better load-management.
Regretting for inconvenience to the consumers, he hoped that load-shedding duration would be reduced as soon the gas supply to power plants is restored. Associated Press of Pakistan
