He said load shedding for 5 hours was observed on April 4 and 5 while no load management was done on April 17, 18 and 19. Load shedding was curtailed and was restricted from two to two and half hours from April 19 to 29.<br \/>\nHe indicated load shedding was completely eliminated in Nawaz Sharif regime in the past. However we had to face this situation again after 6 years.<br \/>\nAccording to him the main reason behind it was shortage of gas and international situation.<br \/>\nHe observed had diesel or furnace oil been used to meet the shortfall of electricity then the price of electricity would have gone up tremendously and its load would have been shifted to consumers.<br \/>\nThe real potential of the country to generate electricity is about 12000 megawatts and not 46000 megawatts. This potential continues to change in different hours as per situation.<br \/>\nPeople will have not to face load shedding now due to timely steps by government.
