Power Outage Update: Pakistan's Power Supply is expected to Be Fully Restored within a Few Days

Power Outage Update: Pakistan's power supply is expected to be fully restored within a few days. This means that all major cities, including Karachi, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Islamabad, are likely to be back online. There are also plans to restart the gas pipelines in Balochistan, which will help restore energy to the rest of the country. The news is not good, though, as many parts of the country are still without power. Fortunately, the authorities say they are aware of the issue and have been working to find a solution to the problem.

Karachi

Karachi's power supply is expected to be fully restored in the next few hours. The city's electricity supply has been suspended since 9:30 am on Thursday. K-Electric says it is working to restore supply in the metropolis in stages.

Many power plants have also shut down. However, the energy ministry says it's not the end of the world.

The breakdown caused by the fault has left parts of the southern provinces and Sindh without power. The federal minister for energy, Khurram Dastgir Khan, has said that efforts are underway to bring the power back on by the evening.

An investigation team has been formed to find out the exact reason for the breakdown. It has four days to complete the task.

Islamabad

A major power outage hit the country on Monday. The blackout was caused by a technical fault at the Guddu thermal power plant. It affected the power supply in several parts of the country, including Islamabad. Power was also cut in Balochistan, Punjab, and Sindh.

Top officials took notice of the blackout and immediately launched efforts to restore power. A high-level committee has been constituted to investigate the incident. NTDC GM (North) Malik Javed Mahmood has been appointed as the convener. He will be joined by NTDC GM (Technical) Ghulam Abbas Memon and a few senior NTDC engineers.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif chaired a meeting at the PM's House to discuss the power situation. He directed utilities to restore power on a war footing.

Gilgit-Baltistan

Gilgit-Baltistan has suffered from an energy shortage for years. According to residents, Pakistan has exploited the region's resources for its profit. It also controls the flow of information from and to the region.

China's vested economic interests appear to have shaped Pakistan's decision-making in the region. The CPEC project in Gilgit-Baltistan has sparked resistance from India. New Delhi has opposed the project, citing its negative impacts on the region.

The Awami Action Committee, based in Gilgit, has criticized Pakistan for not delivering necessities to the region. Residents have complained of power cuts for over 15 hours a day during the winter.

The GB Work and Power Department is notorious for corruption. It recruits relatives without considering their skills and qualifications.

Sindh

Sindh is the worst-hit province in Pakistan by the recent power breakdown. It was mainly affected in the south, but other districts like Nawabshah, Balochistan, and Punjab also saw partial outages.

The energy ministry said that the main cause of the breakdown was a fault in the southern transmission system. This fault shut down power plants in several cities of the region, including Quetta and Karachi.

A high-level inquiry committee was formed to investigate the breakdown. Its members include Chief Engineer (TSG) North Lahore Muhammad Ijaz Khan, General Manager (Technical) Lahore Muhammad Mustafa, and Chief Engineer (OP) NPCC Islamabad Muhammad Zakaria. They will submit a report within five days.

Pakistan has been hit by two major power outages in the last four months. The first occurred in October, affecting parts of the country's south. Thousands of people in the area lost electricity.

Gas Pipelines in Balochistan

Pakistan has been hit by a major power breakdown on Monday. It knocked out numerous power plants and grid stations throughout the country. This prompted a high-level inquiry committee to be formed by the energy ministry to ascertain the causes of the outage.

The power system was brought back online on Tuesday after several hours of work. Power is slowly being restored to affected areas, however, the total restoration of the system will take some time.

According to reports, the main culprit behind the power outage is a "frequency variation" in the national grid. Specifically, the power transmission system's frequency shifted from 50 to zero in a matter of seconds.

Some of the most impacted areas were the business and residential networks. The power supply was also briefly disrupted in Faisalabad, Peshawar, Lahore, and Karachi.
