The document argues that the electricity crisis in Pakistan was manufactured by the government inflating demand figures and decreasing power generation. It shows graphs that demand has been inflated since 2006 while generation has decreased each year. The maximum deficit in March 2010 was over 5,000 MW, much more than previous years. However, the document claims this could have been managed by load shedding of only 35.61% of the population for 3 hours during peaks and 23.43% for 5 hours during off-peaks, by dividing the population into sections, rather than the widespread outages seen. It argues the crisis was artificially created.

1. Is the Electricity
Crisis Real???

2.  The following presentation demonstrates
how the electricity crisis was created by the
government through:
 Inflating the demand figures
 Decreasing the power generation
 Subjecting people to far more load-shedding
than what was required to bridge a small
deficit

3. The comparison with
previous years show that the
Demand is grossly inflated,
whilst the generation has
slashed

4. Power Demand Curves for March
•The government claims an increase of 3,573 MegaWatt compared to
2006, even though there has been negligible usage of Air Conditioners in
the month of March and a major cross-section of the industry has been
shutdown since 2006

•The government dropped power generation to widen the demand
supply gap
•The government is Generating 2,375 MWatts less than March 2006

6. Power Deficit Curves for March
•From a surplus of 788 M.W in 2006 we are down to a deficit of 5,060 MW
•No wonder it takes the a genius of a ‘democratic government’ to befool the
masses; dictatorship couldn’t have done it!!!

Power Deficit Curves for last 4 years
The power deficit in march 2010 is far more than Jun, July
and Aug of 2008. It is outrageous!!!

10. Even if we take government’s
erroneous figures of demand
and generation the load-
shedding is still way out of
proportion

11. The Government claims
that the Demand is
14210 MW
(As of 30th Mar 2010)

12. While the Generation is
9150 MW
(As of: 30th Mar 2010)

13. The maximum short fall is
5060 MW
during Peak Hours
(6pm to 11pm)

14. Hence theTotal Short fall is
35.61 %
(during peak hours)

15. Since the shortfall is 35.61%
we can deprive 35.61 % of
population during peak hours
and can provide the rest of
the population with electricity

•Total population can be divided into two complete 35.61% cross-
sections
•If one cross-section of 35.61% is deprived of power, there is
enough electricity to provide for the rest of population

17. The total population can be
divided into two complete 35.61%
cross-sections such that if one
cross-section is deprived of power
the remaining electricity is
enough for the rest of the
population

25. During Off-peak hours the
Short fall drops to

•Total population can be divided into four cross-sections
•If we do not provide electricity to one cross-section (23.43%) the electricity
will be enough for the rest of the population

27. The total population can be
divided into four full cross-
sections (23.43% each) and there
would be enough power to
provide electricity to three cross-
sections, while the fourth will
bear the load-shedding
