ISLAMABAD
\nThe power shortfall in the country has reached about 6,000 megawatts, power demand in the country is 28,500 megawatts while the production lags at 22,500 megawatts. According to power division sources, the power shortfall is increasing despite heavy monsoon rains in the country and currently has neared 6,000MW. Due to an increase in the demand for power, loadshedding of 4 to 6 hours is being carried out across the country. Earlier, K-Electric, the sole power utility in Karachi submitted a request to the NEPRA seeking another hike of Rs11.39 in tariff under fuel adjustment charges. According to the request, the power utility has requested a massive increase of Rs11.39 for the month of June 2022.
\nIn order to facilitate the customers due to the public holiday announced by the government amid heavy rainfall, K-Electric has extended the deadline for payments of electricity bills. According to a press statement from the power utility, the extension is applicable on bills with due dates falling between 24th July to 25th July, 2022, both days included.
\nThese bills can now be paid latest by the new date of 26th July, 2022, the statement read. All banks have been informed to accept bill payments without any late payment surcharge. In case of any issue at the time of the utility bill payment, consumers can register their complaints by calling at 118.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
