Karachi – During the hearing of the case related to load-shedding in Karachi, K-Electric submitted before the Sindh High Court that 70 percent of K-Electric’s network is exempted from load-shedding, said its spokesperson.
Following privatization, K-Electric has invested over $4 billion in its infrastructure. As a result of this investment, distribution losses have been halved and the customer base has doubled. Load-shedding is carried out only in areas with high electricity theft and losses. K-Electric remains committed and is aiming to make 90 to 95 percent of its network load-shedding-free in the coming years.
The court has directed NEPRA to conduct a technical survey of K-Electric’s infrastructure to evaluate the improvements made to date. The next hearing is scheduled for August 12. KE has received the court’s order from today’s hearing, and will remain available for any technical surveys, said the K-Electric.
