Officials of the Power Division said that it was because of heatwave and resultant load shedding in Iran that it had stopped exporting electricity to other countries, affecting the supply on the Makran coast, including Gwadar, Panjgur and Pasni. The officials further told the committee that K-Electric is being provided 650MW of electricity and that all matters between K-Electric and the federal government have been settled.
Sukkur Electric Power Company (Sepco) officials also briefed the committee on power theft situation in the area. Of the total 494 feeders of the distribution company, line losses in around 300 were over 80 per cent, they said.
