KARACHI: The Karachi Electric (KE) authorities on Tuesday informed Governor Imran Ismail that the Bin Qasim Power Station-III (BQPS-III) would add 900 megawatts to the power utility’s network in the metropolis.
KE executives at the power station were giving a briefing to the visiting governor about the KE’s power generation capacity and plans to increase.
The governor reviewed progress of work at the project.
The visit followed his meeting with KE’s top executives, who presented an update on the company’s preparedness to meet increased electricity demand in Ramazan and summer season of the current year.

ECC Approves First Installment to 35 IPPs
The Economic Coordination Committee of the cabinet on Wednesday approved payment of the first installment to 35 IPPs out of a total 47, whereas payment to the remaining 12 IPPs (under Power Policy 2002) may be withheld owing to the NAB investigation.
Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue, Mr. Shaukat Tarin, chaired the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet today.
Power Division presented a summary before the ECC regarding the release of the first installment of payment to IPPs. Secretary Power Division briefed the Committee about the recommendations of the sub-committee constituted during ECC last week. The ECC approved payment of the first installment to 35 IPPs out of total 47 whereas payment to the remaining 12 IPPs (under Power Policy 2002) may be withheld owing to the NAB investigation.
AS a matter of routine, Karachi Electric (KE) has been sending the monthly bills either too close to the due date or not sending them at all. In both cases, it stands to make additional revenue through late payment surcharge without providing any additional service.
When you try to use the relevant helpline to file a complaint about non-receipt of the bill, the staff tends to talk rather casually, asking the callers to get hold of a duplicate bill. They should know that not everyone is computer-literate or owns a printer to get a copy of the bill. The KE management can at least train their helpline staff in basic mannerism.
