Discos served show cause for unscheduled load shedding

News Desk
Islamabad: Two days successively issuing notices to three Discos from Sindh, Nepra—Regulator on Electricity—has issued show-cause notices to all the Discos for unscheduled load shedding of up to 12 hours all over the country, said a notice of Nepra on Friday.

PTI Government in a few weeks back published an Economic Survey that revealed that the country has installed a capacity of over 37,000 MW in the country but contrary to the Government’s claims, Nepra has issued show-cause notices to all Discos for unscheduled load shedding in the country.

NEPRA has taken serious notice of various media reports regarding unscheduled load shedding of up to 12 hours by all the Distribution Companies (Discos), due to which the public is suffering heavily in this current wave of heat, especially in the areas under lockdown due to COVID-19.

DISCOs under the relevant provisions of their licenses are obligated to provide uninterrupted and reliable power supply to the consumers, said the notice by adding that all the DISCOs have been strictly directed to take immediate remedial measures to minimize the load shedding and also submit a report in this regard to the Authority immediately.
