Karachi-based K-Electric (KE), the premier power utility in Pakistan, may implement load management tactics during peak evening and nighttime hours due to nationwide regasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) supply constraints, a KE spokesperson declared on Friday. KE oversees electricity generation, transmission, and distribution in Karachi, with peak hours spanning from 6:30pm to 10:30pm from April to October and from 6:00pm to 10:00pm from November to March.
In a recent X social media post, KE spokesperson Imran Rana highlighted international supply disruptions and delayed shipments as the primary cause of RLNG supply limitations, which have impacted nationwide power generation, including KE's service area. Rana stated that KE would strive to maintain stable daytime power supply, but load management could be considered as a "last resort" during extreme evening/night peak hours, should the need arise.
KE is actively collaborating with Pakistan LNG Limited (PLL) and relevant authorities to rectify the situation as swiftly as possible.
