Islamabad: The power shortfall has mounted to 7,000 megawatts across the country as the power generation companies reduced power production due to non-supply of oil and gas.
According to Water and Power Ministry sources Monday, PEPCO had stopped supply of gas and oil to power generation companies due to which they 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.
