Pakistan in the dark again: 4,000 MW shortfall and fuel failures unleash crippling blackouts

Wait 5 sec.

Pakistan’s electricity crisis has worsened as the nationwide power shortfall exceeds 4,000 MW, triggering longer outages across several regions. Lahore and Punjab are facing two to three hours of load-shedding, while LESCO’s deficit has crossed 1,200 MW. Falling power generation, network tripping and an undelivered RLNG vessel are adding pressure, raising concerns over Pakistan’s electricity supply and infrastructure.
