Pakistan is facing prolonged power outages, leading to load shedding lasting up to 12 hours in rural areas and three to six hours in urban areas. The shortages are exacerbated by maintenance shutdowns and overloaded transmission and distribution systems. Citizens are distressed, especially with the heatwave-like conditions across the country. The total electricity demand exceeds the total production, worsening the situation for the people. EPA/BILAWAL ARBAB
