  "account": "HYDERABAD – The National Assembly member and Standing Committee on Energy spokesperson, Syed Waseem Hussain, addressed a conference at the HESCO Conference Hall to discuss the need for forced loadshedding elimination and enhanced electricity supply to all consumers in Hyderabad. Hussain emphasized the necessity of constructing new grid stations, installing extra power transformers, and implementing a dual-source 500 kV system to guarantee a dependable and consistent electricity supply for homes, businesses, industry, and agriculture.\n\nHussain outlined his objective of providing superior electricity and highlighted the importance of establishing new 11 kV feeders to further enhance the electricity transmission network. He mentioned that additional power transformers must be installed at the NGC Jamshoro Grid Station, alongside the urgent need for a 500 kV grid station in Nawabshah. Hussain promised to consult with NGC officials on these proposals and suggested the same for the installation of more power transformers at the 500 kV grid station in Jamshoro, aiming to eradicate forced load-shedding across Hyderabad, Sanghar, and Mirpur Khas.\n\nHESCO Chief Executive Officer Faizullah Dahri echoed these sentiments, stating that HESCO is actively working to provide superior facilities and improved electricity supply to alleviate consumer suffering.

Dahri reiterated HESCO’s commitment to delivering a superior and reliable electricity supply, resolving consumer issues, and further boosting the organization's performance.",
