Power shortfall surges to 7,000MW

 The power shortfall on Monday reached to 7,000 megawatt across the country as the power generation companies have reduced power production due to non supply of oil and gas by PEPCO.

According to Water and Power Ministry sources, PEPCO had stopped supply of gas and oil to power generation companies due to which they have reduced production of electricity in the country.
The ministry sources said that demand of electricity was 16,000MW while its supply was 9,000MW due to increasing heat in the country. The sources said that period of load shedding in the country could be raised. 
According to sources, the generation companies warned the government to stop production completely if dues were not paid within few days.
