Power shortfall triggers prolonged outages

LAHORE:

Load-shedding has increased across the country due to a decline in electricity generation, with consumers in the Lahore Electric Supply Company (Lesco) region facing three to four hours of outages.

Lesco's shortfall has reached 800 megawatts against a demand of 3,100MW, while it is receiving 2,350MW from the national grid. The Tarbela Dam accident has also affected power generation.

On Monday, a breach in a protective embankment at the Tarbela Dam's Tunnel Five (T-5) hydropower project caused a large volume of water to flood the tunnel.\",Our Correspondent,National
