KARACHI: (HRNW) Gas and electricity crisis may worsen during the upcoming winter season in Karachi and other parts of the Sindh province due to acute shortage of gas.
According to sources, the gas load shedding would witness a surge during the upcoming winter season in the province that could possibly face a shortage of 300mmcfd.
“Even K-Electric could face a shortage in the gas supply during the winter season,” the sources said adding that the sole power company in Karachi would need to repair its generation plants using furnace oil ahead of the winter season to avoid any shortfall in electricity production.
It is pertinent to mention here that on September 18, K Electric wrote a letter to the Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) calling on them to raise the gas supply and pressure to former’s plants.
