Karachi – November 4, 2016: According to the K-Electric press statement, the company is determined in providing uninterrupted electricity supply to the city. The power utility stated that 61 per cent of the city including the five industrial zones is exempted from load-shed.
“7 years ago only 12 per cent of the city was exempted but with an investment of more than Rs.102 billion in its Generation, Transmission and Distribution in these last 7 years, KE has shown a remarkable improvement in its overall system and as a result, 61 per cent of the city is now exempted from load-shed,” remarked KE’s spokesperson.
In addition, KE has presented a plan of more than 300 billion for further investment in its overall network, whereas the company only recently acquired land to construct a 700 MW coal-fired plant on which work has already commenced.
Regarding KE’s upgraded power system, the stakeholder clearly stated in its recent report that there is an improvement in KE’s transmission system, causing a significant reduction in faults. Moreover, last year NEPRA ranked the power utility as one of the best distribution companies of the country.
KE is determined in its commitment to provide affordable and uninterrupted electricity to the people of Karachi.
