Government is Converting CNG Stations to Electric Car Charging Points

[TheGreatMaratha]

Good to see this happening in Pakistan. I don't think India has started anything like this yet.

It wont take a decade. Consumption growth is increasing alot and half of the country still enjoy loadshedding including my town (4-6 hours a day). Some may say its due to low return feeders but then what about those who pay bills? Plus, the electricity distribution system inagurated by Muhammad Ali jinnah. We lose 20-30% of electricity to transmission system. Just sit idle for 2 years and we will again see those years returning back

You Paying the bill or not is not the main Cause of Load shedding neither are the transmission losses Peak Electricity demand stands at 25000 MWs but the Distribution Capacity is only 22000 MWs.

Take into account the 20-30 Line losses and you have the reason for these power outages. Pakistan can have add 50000 MW more to its Production capacity and the Outages will still remain.

On top of it Transmission capacity is not used 100 percent because the system is way past its lifetime. Every time the network is used to its full potential Large parts of it Trip and the cascade effect cause Power stations and Distribution nodes to go offline.

It would take 40-50 Billion dollars to complete revamp and upgrade the Transmission And distribution network to end Outages completely which isnt happening anytime in the next decade.

My OP was about foolishness and shortsightedness of our Leaders. They have forced us to pay Hundreds of billions every year for the next 12 years knowing that we wont be using the Electricity produced by these IPPs. These Capacity charges will drain Trillions of Tax payers Money over the next decade to come.
