Kanupp shut down again

THE supply of electricity from the Karachi Nuclear Power Plant (Kanupp) to Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC) was shut down after the power plant encountered technical problems, reported a private TV channel on Sunday. KESC is not receiving any electricity from Kanupp since Saturday morning, said KESCs spokesperson Amir Abbasi. He explained that normally the plant supplies 80 megawatts of electricity to the grid, adding we do not expect the plant to resume operations before Monday. Kanupp shut down on October 24 and remained offline until November 2. However, soon after coming online, the plant was forced to shut down again on November 4 due to technical problems.
