The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) on Wednesday directed K-Electric to submit a detailed report regarding unannounced load-shedding in Karachi while taking additional notice of consumers receiving inflated electricity bills. “Strict directions have been given to K-Electric to take remedial measures and submit a detailed report to Nepra immediately,” read a statement issued by Nepra. According to local media reports, the electric regulatory authority further said that consumers receiving inflated electricity bills can file complaints at its regional office in Karachi. According to reports, electricity shortage has become a cause of water shortage in the provincial capital, causing increased difficulty to people already enduring high summer temperatures. The power company further claimed that areas with increased incidence of electricity theft are currently experiencing more load shedding compared to other areas.
