Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif urged the authorities on Tuesday to reduce electrical load-shedding during Ramazan.
The prime minister, who was chairing a review meeting to address electricity transmission and load management, requested the necessary departments to develop a solid and complete plan before summer arrived.
PM Shebaz instructed the authorities to take prompt and effective measures to upgrade the power transmission and load management systems ahead of the summer season during the meeting.
He directed that the strategy for improved power transmission and load management be finalised as soon as possible before the summer.
Calling for minimum load shedding during Ramazan, the prime minister said it was pleasing that the proportion of alternate energy and local fuels was increasing for power generation, reducing dependence on imported fuels and ultimately the import bill.
PM Shehbaz, who was given a briefing on power generation and load management, called for urgent measures to fully operationalise the Haveli Bahadur Shah Power Plant.
He instructed the power and petroleum divisions and other relevant departments to improve cohesion and coordination for better power transmission and load management.
During the briefing, the prime minister was told that effective measures were being taken to put a minimum burden of the load shedding on the masses.
