Electricity Power Crisis, Real or Created? Facts and Fiction

Read, Think & understand the game International Powers are playing with us with the help of !   
  
Electricity produced in Pakistan is from three main sources.

1). Hydral 
2). Thermal (Gas/Steam/Furnace Oil)
3). Nuclear



There are four major power producers in country which include Water & Power Development 
Authority (WAPDA) , Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC), Independent Power
 Producers (IPPs) and Pakistan Atomic Energy
 Commission (PAEC).


Below is the break-up of the installed capacity of each of these power producers (as of June-2008).

4. Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission

Total (Nuclear)                                          ===>   462  MW
 
  
Hydal Electricity generated by WAPDA varies between two extremities i.e. between minimum of
2414 MW and maximum  of 6761 MW depending upon the river flow through the whole year.

Total Power Generation Capacity of Pakistan (including all sources) is 19855 MW and
the electricity demand at peak is 174000 MW and PEPCO is merely generating  10000 MW.

So it is obvious that these 15-20 hrs power shutdowns in most parts of the country are not
because of the lack  of generation capacity but DUE TO MISMANAGEMENT, CORRUPTION
& because of IMF / World Bank policies  imposed on our nation by Govt. The Power Generation companies 
are not buying Furnace Oil from PSO by saying they don’t have money to do that but we are all paying for 
Electricity that is generated from Furnace Oil. This is the reason that top  refineries like PRL are operating
at 40% capacities. IMF / World bank has imposed to reduce budget deficit  by importing  less crude oil. But due
 to this fact all our industries are under severe crisis. None of our
political  party who are in Assembly is ready to speak on it because every one is blessed by
US / IMF / World Ban k. 
Dear Pakistani’s, 

This is a time to show your social activism your power and strength. It is your silence which is
deafening and your couldn’t care less attitude which makes the people in power more powerful
evasive and secure in their Air conditioned offices. 

PLEASE STAND UP AND BE COUNTED:    

Please create awareness,  spread the message ....... 

WE WANT ELECTRICITY IN PAKISTAN.

Electricity now is @11 Rs. per unit, and it will increase after every two months as directed
 by (American) IMF policies. 

Also CHINA offers to Pakistan Electricity for just Rs.200 Monthly Bill and Unlimited
Usage of Electricity but our government is not taking the offer seriously. This is because
there will be neither kick backs nor  any commissions to be pocketed by the strong mafia
of politicians and bureaucrats.  These people are there because of your votes. Let them serve
 you rather than rule you…… 

NOW THIS IS OUR TIME TO SHOW THE GOVERNMENT YOUR STRENGTH. 
PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, BECAUSE OF THIS
 MESSAGE  MANY PEOPLE WOULD COME TO KNOW ABOUT THE TRUTH
