Load-Shedding of electricity has become a common feature in Pakistan. Whether it is winter or summer. Shedding or unscheduled sometimes with disguised name like load-managerment is here. The unsheduled one is the worst because is cause untold problems and hardship to every one. The misery, pain and torture the whole country. Expect the privileged one suffers during every summer due to load-shedding is evident to all.

Searee rains, shortage in river water, low generation and high consumption of electricity, new connections to villages and factories, fewer dams power theft and line losses are said to be the contribulings factors behind load-shedding. However, people call them lame excuse. They feel that load-shedding is the result of corruption, inefficiency, mismanagement and defective planning in wapda. Then little generation of electricity from atomic and solar energy, poor use of available resources, lack of provincial consensus and the general apathy of the government contribute to load-shedding. Sometimes the genii of load shedding is unleashed on the excuse of repair-work that unlocking for the people continues throughout the year.

    The last decade has been harsh enough for the people of Nepal. The power cut being hiked up to 16 hours a day in 2009 provides testimony to the fact that Nepal has been hard hit by energy crisis. Given the over-increasing population, along with rapid industrialization and urbanization, the demand of electricity continues to mount, especially in urban and commercial areas. The nation, however, has not been able to supply enough to meet its demand. This year itself the power cut roared up to 80 hours a week. The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) concedes that severity of load shedding will not diminish in the short term (refer to “Bartaman Load Shedding Lai Tat Kaal Samadhan Garni Upaya Haru Ko Sammandha Ma Sabai Pakchya Haru Ko Adhyan Gari Sujav Dina Jal Shrot Mantralaya Ko Nirnaya Anusar Gathit Samiti le Pesh Gare Ko Pratibedhan report originally available at - www.nea.org.np)…

Though it enjoys the monopoly in the town, but for past 10 years, it has been facing serious issues in generating and distributing the demanded power supplies to the City. The motivation as business students to pursue the project for the improvement in current KESC conditions is driven from the fact that prevailing problems at Karachi Electric Supply Company is badly affecting the industries in the city. Business community in the city is now loosing the investment and growing concern interests, which had been previously the utmost appeal in this industrial heart of the country.

    It is evident that the causes of the present electricity crisis are diverse. One of the reasons is the fact that the over consumption of electricity plays a pivotal role in electricity shortage. Obviously, quite a small proportion of students have the awareness of the importance of saving electricity and using electricity properly. As a consequence, a vast amount of electricity is wasted on a daily basis, such as the bulbs in washing room, the computers while leaving, etc.…

    In India, the subject of electricity is covered under the Concurrent List in the Constitution of India, implying that both the central government and state governments have the power to make legislation for the sector. As a result, all major issues affecting the power sector require concurrent action by the central government and state governments. The allocation on power development during the first four Five Year Plans (FYP) was very low i.e. 10-15 percent of the total outlay. The low allocation of budget in power sector hampered the rural & urban electrification, and power generation capacity. With rapid industrialization and extensive demand for power both in rural and urban areas, the country has been reeling under severe power shortage and the country’s production effort has been severely curtailed by load shedding almost in all parts of country.…

    Consumers have been suffering from crises in form of load shedding for hours in a day no immediate solution seems to be viable in extended summers. They tend to blame government and utility companies for not reducing load shedding. Energy could be made available for extended hours but a mass level awareness about efficient usage of energy is required. Illegal connections, usage of inefficient and unnecessary appliances at peak demand time has worsened the situation and utility companies seem helpless about it. They are not left with any other option to reduce demand except through load shedding.…

    Kalabagh Dam Case Study

    While Kalabagh was probably not initially proposed with the same intention, it is probably a weapon that Erin would proudly use. This might not be quickly apparent but the facts certainly seem to support this. After the construction of Mangla and Tarbela Dams, the next major project decided was Kalabagh. That remained the only long term energy plan for a good ___ years[] and the government began to conveniently delay the construction after opposition to the dam started. It was not an issue as energy was in surplus in those days. However, that would not last long and this lack of planning gave birth to load shedding during Zia's regime. Finally during the Benazir's reign, with the energy deficit mounting, the Kalabagh issue came up again and once again it caused the tensions between the provinces to rise and during this chaos it was decided thermal power would be the solution to Pakistan's energy woes. (). With the high costs of thermal energy making electricity unaffordable for Pakistani, this eventually resulted in people stealing electricity which paved the way for circular debt. Thus each time the issue of Kalabagh was brought up, all it managed to achieve was to result in short term fixes to the energy crisis with the added to benefit of sowing seeds of distrust among the provinces. The extent of distrust having developed to such an extent today that despite the passage of the 18th amendment and the creation of bodies like the Council of Common Interest, the smaller provinces still feel they do not have a say in the affairs of the state. Now with the energy deficit at ____[], it is beyond Kalabagh alone to deal with this issue yet for some reason the government has not started work on other HEP projects or other alternative projects.…

    Currently most of Delhi’s electricity comes from thermal power plants which are mostly situated in other states. In 2012, we saw the biggest blackout in the history of the country where half the population was powerless for days. Delhi was severely affected along with other Northern, Eastern and North East states. If 75% of Delhi’s electricity was not generated from coal, and decentralised renewable energy was available, Delhi could have powered itself to a large extent during the grid failure. Unfortunately, Delhi is one of the few states in the country that does not have any policy for alternate sources of energy like wind, solar and biomass. In 2012, in the absence of a policy and roadmap, the state failed to tap into solar and bio-mass energy, especially during the periods of peak demand.…
