Rawalpindi: The performance of Islamabad Electric Supply Company (Iesco) stands exposed as the electricity system of twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad is playing on the nerves of the consumers who have to brave prolonged power outages fluctuations, tripping, and low voltage for the past many days.
The residents of areas near 502 Workshop and Adiala feeders falling under Adiala Grid Station are facing 12 to 16 hours of power outages for the past three days. The heat-stricken consumers have strongly protested against Iesco but in vain. The protesters also blocked the main Adiala Road, burnt tyres, and raised slogans against Iesco here on Tuesday.

KARACHI: The country’s overall power generation surged 7.0 percent to 10,243GWh (13,767MW) in October 2020, compared to 9,572GWh (12,866MW) during the corresponding month last year, data released by the National Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) showed on Monday.
This spike could be attributed to the improvement in hydel and RLNG-based generation, which exhibited a hefty increase of 30 percent and 17 percent on yearly basis, respectively.
“During October, fuel cost for power generation went down by 18 percent to Rs4.12/KWh mainly due to higher generation on hydel along with decline in RLNG-based fuel cost, which was down 34 percent,” a report issued by Arif Habib Limited noted.
