KESC gets 3-day ultimatum to restart Bin Qasim plant


GEO 436 KARACHI: Pakistan Electric Power Company (PEPCO) has warned Karachi Electric Supply Compnay (KESC) that power supply to the latter will be reduced if it failed to restart its Bin Qasim power plant. Director General PEPCO Engineer Muhammad Khalid talking to Geo News said that KESC, while keeping its plants shut, is getting electricity from PEPCO. As a result PEPCO is facing power shortage, he added. "Although KESC has capacity to generate power, it is deliberately keeping its Bin Qasim plant idle, increasing, as a result, PEPCO's burden by 350 MW electricity," he said. According to Engineer Khalid, KESC has been served a number of notices.
