K-Electric grants load shedding relief in Korangi areas

K-Electric’s quarterly review moves parts of Korangi, Azizabad and other localities to loadshed-exempt status after better bill recovery and lower theft losses.

Several Karachi localities have become loadshed-exempt after K-Electric’s quarterly network review.

Gains follow timely bill payments, lower AT&C losses (technical and commercial losses) and less electricity theft.

Parts of Korangi, Azizabad, SITE, Surjani and other areas moved from medium-loss to low-loss feeders.
