Is the load shedding a proper decision for controlling energy crisis in

SURAH ALAQ(TRANSLATION)
1. Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists),
2. Has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood).
3. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,
4. Who has taught (the writing) by the pen
[the first person to write was Prophet Idrees (Enoch)],
5. Has taught man that which he knew not.

INTRODUCTION
Load shedding is the condition when there is huge
demand for electricity that exceeds the generation available.
It is confidently said that the electricity has never been reliable at any time in Pakistan.
Electricity load shedding in Pakistan has increase many fold and no country can make progress without electricity.
Recent government measures of holiday on Saturday and other saving method have reduced the load shedding but not significantly.

Electricity load shedding is one of the biggest issues in Pakistan including poverty and unemployment. No country can make progress without electricity.
On the other hand there is no or less load shedding in officer’s colonies or in rich posh areas.
Further more electricity load shedding is being used as a weapon in order to obstruct people from work.

HISTORY OF LOAD SHEDDING IN PAKISTAN (2000-2010)
Graph shows the past record of electricity demand which is increasing by every year. But the supply has not increase accordingly to demand.

Green Energy Opportunities:
In response to the warnings of energy crisis in Pakistan, President Musharraf's government in 2006, created Alternative Energy Development Board to pursue renewable energy.
Gilani Government's Response:
Neelum-Jhelum hydroelectric project, hydro project is expected to add 963MW power generating capacity.
Prior to this project, the new Pakistani Prime Minister signed a deal with a Chinese company, Dong Fong, for setting up 525 MW thermal power plant at Sheikhupura.

continue……
Its 2011 and we are living into the age when government had promised many times that we will have all our electricity shortages met. We are now again facing the short fall of more than 4000 megawatts.This shortfall causing the load shedding of nine to seventeen hours in different areas of the country.

SOURCES OF ELECTRICITY
The electric power sector in Pakistan is still primarily state-owned. The main state-owned utilities are the
WAPDA (water and power development authority)
Karachi Electricity Supply Corporation (KESC),
WAPDA and KESC transmit and distribute all power in Pakistan.
Other sources of electricity include power production from:
IPP (independent power producer
PAEC(Pakistan atomic energy commission)

CURRENT SITUATION
It is just start of summer season and we are already short of electricity in big way, already we are lacking 4000 plus megawatts of power in Pakistan.
Unscheduled load shedding gripped the city, as outages of 10 to 14 hours were observed, making life of citizens’ miserable.
PEPCO claimed that the situation was temporarily and would soon improve, without telling the exact date of reduction in load shedding.
Pakistan Electric Power Company PEPCO blames independent power producers (IPPs) for the electricity crisis, as they have been able to give PEPCO only 3,800 MW on average out of 5,800 MW of confirmed capacity.

continue……
At present demand-supply gap is filled through planned power cuts (load shedding). In cities the scheduled power cuts last for 6 to 8 hours, while cuts are much more prolong in rural areas.Overall the load shedding has created a negative impact on the economy of Pakistan.

CAUSES OF LOAD SHEDDING
Over population
Misuse of available resources
Incompetency of exploration sector
Fewer dams
Gas unavailability would also affect power generation plants, which relied on gas.
Lack of sincere leadership
Line losses
Increasing price of oil in international market
Power theft

continue……
Defective policies by the government such as rental power plant.
Load shedding is result of corruption, mismanagement, and defective planning of WAPDA
Little deployment of unconventional energy resources or green source of producing electricity such as (solar, wind, geothermal, tidal)

continue……
Not fully utilizing the maximum generation capacity.
Government creating artificial power shortfall to purchase electricity from India.
A number of power generation plants went out of order
Lack of expansion and up gradation of power plants.
Growing urbanization and changes in the pattern of life.

EFFECT OF LOAD SHEDDING VIDEO

EFFECTS OF LOAD SHEDDING (ECONOMIC IMPACT)
Beginning from a businessman who has turned off his industries because of load shedding as a result has reduced revenue, which further results in reduced production and unemployment.
Beginning from a businessman who has turned off his industries because of load shedding also loose reputation and hard to compete in the international market.
Our crop production has failed to achieve its target and this failure led to the creation of another crisis, which is ‘Flour Crisis’.
