Asslam u alikum
Guys can you please explain whose main role is back of this disastrous loadshing?Why Wapda is not being able for payment of furnace oil to PSO or others oil companies?Where the hell is going that bundles of money which we paid them in form of bills?Is there any role of bureaucracy in it????Please answer with exact fact and figures......

Incompetence, uselessness, incapability, refusal to take responsibility, corruption, stupidity are the main causes of load shedding in Pakistan.

Causes are diverse but base is same and that is bad governance in past.
We have been relying heavily on fossil fuel Energy which is a very risky approach as continuous fuel supply needs solid amount of money especially in terms of dollar as we do not produce enough petroleum. Pakistan's hydel power generation capacity has never been utilized with full justice.
As far as money we pay in terms of bills is concerned it is consumed in corrupt and incompetent circle from Public to IPPs through Electric Supply companies and Wapda and becomes circular debt.

the basic problem is that our energy mix is not correct....circular debt is the worst of al...nobody have ever raised concerns on how to deal with this mighty problem....
our current energy mix is...
hydel 51
thermal 37
coal 3
nuclear 1
so it is not the one that can solve our problems....
moreover dams are not primarily build for electricity purpose ...its their secondary purpose...
and the list goes long and long,,,,

I think basic problem is miss management/ bad governance.

Yes there is role of politicians and bureaucracy in it.

Dear our circular debt had crossed 700 billions. Bureaucracy and Government institutes play an important role in curbing the load-shedding. If we go through the details of this circular debt we would come to know that the defaulters are public institutes, Army cantonments, Premier house etc. Our accountability institutes are not active and impartial. NAB, for several times made promises of bringing the defaulters to justice. But there is no progress because of bureaucratic and political hurdles. NAB itself is even not free of external and internal influences.

Secondly, power theft is also a major reason behind the menace of load-shedding. Power-theft, which is known as power-loss euphemistically, is incurring 20% loss of power generation. Again, who are the thieves of power? Feudal, affluent, politicians etc.

However, I do agree that the main reason behind load-shedding is Bad governance and inefficient management. Because in 90's the ratio of Hydel-power to Thermal-power was 60:40 respectively but now the story is opposite. The reason is our bad governance and wrong decisions by our previous governments. We are shifting from cheap sources (hydel) to expensive (thermal or RPPs) ones only because of our personal interests. RPP's or thermal power plants are always short-term plans and strategies but to build a dam for hydel-power is a long-term strategy. The governments prefer short-term plans only for kickbacks and personal interests. Long-term plans should be initiated for controlling the load-shedding in future.

Regards
