Dear All

Our country is facing worst energy crises in form of load shedding.

And total power shortage is becoming double of previous shortage.

According to a news paper, it will reach to 9000 Mega Watt during this year while last

Year this shortage was about 3300 Mega watt.

So some power plants construction is in progress at Chashma and some other places But

There precommissioning/ commissioning and start up is not possible before 2011 and

They will start production in 2011 mid and their capacity is only 300 to 400 Mega watts.

Government is also considering on Thar Coal Project But Chinese Company that taken that project has gone back to China due to some reason.

Capacity of our existing dams is reducing due to silting.

So I am dead sure that these shortages will go up and up.

Being a professional, I become surprised often when our Minister announce that “2009

Will be load shedding free Year” How is it possible?

These people have some magic stick to produce results.

I have limited knowledge so please if any one of you has some info that how 2009 will

Be load shedding free year, let me know, it will increase my knowledge.

Only Dams, Yes only Dams can produce thousands of Mega watts while nuclear power plants produce only 300-400 mega watts.

A single Kala bagh Dam can produce 4500 Mega watt.

If we start work on KBD today then it will complete in 2014 or 2015.

And we need to construct many dams for our increased power consumption.

But KBD project has been discarded.

Government is busy in Judges Issue, by election, talks with India, Dubai tour and many issues
Our economy is at stake. Government has no priority for energy crises.

What will happen?

I fear this load shedding will rise to 18 hours next summer.

Is this our fate to live in 16th Century when world is making air ports on Sea and developing so much,

Where I am doing job has no power crises because our company has its own power plant

So no concept of load shedding but when I go home and see load shedding and deaths due to summer condition, I realize that are we capable to call a NATION OR WE A CROWD OF People.
All members are requested to give suggestion to overcome this problem with minimum possible time.
