ISLAMABAD: An inquiry committee of the National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) has identified governance, ownership problems and poor chain of command for countrywide power breakdown early this year, but has absolved its own team of any responsibility.
In its report, the four-member inquiry committee also quoted letters written by some of its members for improvement of the electricity generation system and its safety protocols and equipment to prove that the NTDC had been highlighting the system’s weaknesses.
The National Transmission and Dispatch Company’s (NTDC) inquiry committee, while absolving its own team of responsibility, has identified governance, ownership problems, and poor chain of command for nationwide power breakdown.
In its report, the four-member committee quoted letters written by some of its members for improvement of the electricity generation system and its safety protocols to maintain that the NTDC has been highlighting the system’s weaknesses.
No NTDC’s officer/official has been found negligent for the discharge of his duties, as the event which initiated this widespread breakdown was not in NTDC’s system, rather it was in the 220kv Switchyard of Guddu Old Thermal Power Station under the control of CPGCL (Central Power Generation Company Limited).
