The nation is experiencing massive load shedding in both urban and rural areas due to a 5,600 megawatt electrical shortage.
There is a 25,000 MW national need for power, but only 19,400 MW of that is being produced, according to Power Division sources.
Consequently, power outages have escalated to a maximum of eight hours in cities and ten hours in rural areas. Even longer periods of 12 to 14 hours without power are being endured by households in significant line-loss locations.
breakdown of the power generation
700 MW of hydroelectric power
The number of power plants in the private sector is 7,600 MW.
wind power plants are 900MW;
solar power plants are 172MW;
thermal power plants are 540 MW.
3,000 MW from nuclear power reactors;
123 MW from bagasse-based power
Power generation comes from a variety of sources, but the supply cannot keep up with the ever-increasing demand.
Residents’ everyday lives have been severely affected by the continued load shedding, which has an impact on companies, education, and general well-being.
