The energy crisis in Pakistan demands the country must carefully tread the path of neutrality between Syria and Iran on one side and the Saudi Arabia and the Arab States on the other.

Chineese made cheap gas generators sold in Karachi have now completely eliminated domestic electricity issues in Karachi.Just use unlimited gas supply or powerful UPS and enjoy freedom!

Chinese made solar panels at 75 cent per watt are the best bet for Pakistan.No body can steal power made in your own home.This coupled with LED lights can take care of most household lighting.Fans and refrigerator.It will cost about 10000 USD per household which most pakistanis can afford or special loans sanctioned .

Acute Shortage of power will only be overcome when Government will privatize Distribution Companies DISCOS, and the first step of these private distribution companies should be to replace meters with prepaid system either by prepaid card that could be reloaded through banks such as prepaid debit cards are card that can be used one time. further Generation of power should be controlled by Government and should be replaced oil and gas plant with nuclear and hydro. And should also encourage private investors to setup solar cells and pannels to manufacture locally as imported solar cells are expensive. These locally manufactures solar cells should be made mandatory to be use in street lights,neon signs and any type of power run adver.

Bro gird collapse is a technical problem nd India’s deficit is less than 9% of our total demand. Within 24 hrs the power was restored in al of effected areas in India. One shud nt worry about India as india id gong to invest $400 billion in next 5 yrs in infrastructure sector wer power sector wil get major amount of share and at the same time India has indigenously developed thorium based hybrid reactors which and India has World’s largest thorium reserve so India wil not hav any problem. i think Pakistan shud think and plan about its power problems, which is much more severe than India.

For the collective good, i.e. public welfare, the first step is to eliminate the peak load from residential and commercial air conditioning — reduce voltage supplied. Switching to gas generators can be eliminated by similar reduction in pressure. We are then left with legitimate demand from production – agriculture and industry – and from justice demands of small users. Fulfill production demand. If the residual cannot meet small use demand then install small solar and wind systems. How to finance? Redirect subsidies away from energy profits to small users. Just think of the inequity in giving a blanket subsidy to KESC of Rs 30 billion! Why not Kalabagh and more dams? Incredibly expensive, financially and ecologically, for the purpose. By the way, we need a law that prohibits hot costumes for all those jokers receiving public funds. Old photos of the Peoples Liberation Army in China and Viet Nam will show the awaminess — shorts and banians every day except for ceremonies.

The power crises can be controlled to some extent if we can stop power theft and the only solution is to give power to small vendors and these vendors than distribute it to consumers. just like the case of cable operator they never complain of theft as they have men and machinery to stop theft and to recover the charges. they can lay the cable instead of the open wiring so that there will be no chance of KUNDA.

No dear, Indian experienced grid collapse and it will be completely restored like in a week. But in Pakistan, we are having power cuts for as long as 5-6 years now.
