Loadshedding returns to haunt Karachiites

This is due to the fact that the KESC has now again resumed its strategy of saving fuel expenditures. This issue was highlighted in the dark phase of loadshedding during last month when the company cut down its expenditures by reducing its production through furnace oil”, said a source. The relaxed situation on Eid provided an idea that the production can be improved if sustainable steps are taken in this regard.  

It is worth mentioning that the reducing oil price in the international markets has not brought any change in the attitude of the KESC. Ironically, when oil prices in the international market shot up, the company gave the excuse that its financial condition did not allow it to buy highly expensive furnace oil. But now when oil price has been reduced internationally, the KESC failed to change its power production strategy. This problem needs to be addressed by the new management and concrete steps should be taken in this regard.
