KESC CEO blames the weather forecast
KARACHI: Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC) CEO Naveed Ismail said on Monday that there had been a forecast of rains last week at around 30 percent below that of 2008, however, the KESC’s ‘Monsoon Plan’ was equipped for rain equivalent to that of last year. He was addressing a media briefing here on Monday afternoon. He said the electricity supply to Dhabeji Water Pumping Station had been restored in order to facilitate water supply to the city. Ismail said that Dhabeji Pumping Station had started to work from midday on Monday. The KESC did not have any shortfall of electricity generation; in fact for a few hours on Sunday, it had been supplying 120 MW of power to PEPCO. But, the rain-related faults in the distribution system had suspended power supply to some consumers. The utility, he said, had been making all efforts to resolve the issues emerging out of the heavy rains, unprecedented in the past over three decades. Chief operating officer (distribution) Jan Abbas Zaidi said that 112 faults had been registered by the utility on which work was being carried out. Over 30 percent of the affected areas were receiving power supply through back-feeding. He said that Korangi, Gulshan Millat, Bagh Rizwan, Clifton, Landhi, Irum Palace, Gulshan Ammar, Malir Halt, Federal B. Area, North Karachi, North Nazimabad, Model Colony, Garden and Orangi had been partially affected by the local faults.

Meeting at CM House: Chief Minister Sindh will held a meeting with the Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC) officials today (Tuesday) to discuss the power situation in the city. staff report
