No peak-hour load management in KE, HESCO due to ample low-cost power in south: Power Division
ISLAMABAD, Apr 14 (APP):The Power Division on Tuesday clarified that no load management is being carried out under the peak-hours relief strategy in areas served by Hyderabad Electric Supply Company and K-Electric due to the availability of sufficient low-cost electricity in the southern region of the country.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Power Division said that no load management is being carried out in HESCO (Hyderabad Electric Supply Company) and K-Electric under the 2.25-hour peak hours relief plan.
This is due to the availability of low-cost power generation in the southern region and its supply to these two distribution companies.
The spokesperson noted that furnace oil-based generation does not significantly impact these areas. In addition, sufficient electricity from alternative sources is available in the south.
Since this electricity is primarily supplied to HESCO and K-Electric, it has been decided not to subject consumers in these areas to unnecessary inconvenience under the peak hours strategy.
