How electricity theft impacts Pakistani society
Besides electricity theft by individuals and communities, industries are also stealing electricity
Pakistan’s ongoing battle with electricity is one that the country just can’t seem to overcome. The alarming rate of transmission, distribution losses, power theft and the resulting load shedding is one that has left the country in a constant state of grief for decades. More alarming is the estimated Rs 53 billion worth of power theft in Pakistan in 2018 which is assumed to have risen since. While the government continues to try and figure out which is the best route to take with the IPPs and pricing strategies are being discussed, the circular debt has risen late last year to a whopping Rs 2.3 trillion, a number the average citizen cannot even fathom.
