Power outages of over 18 hours in Pakistan’s Karachi have been causing significant inconvenience to people during the holy month of Ramadan. Pakistan Institute of Development Economics said that the country’s energy sector is in a deep crisis. Persistent power outages, unreliable supplies, rising tariffs, overreliance on non-renewable energy sources, and import dependency have further exacerbated the situation. Pakistan’s per capita energy consumption is significantly below world standards, and energy use is inefficient. The efficiency of power distribution companies is heavily influenced by mismanagement, which is centralised at the ministry level. The power sector’s circular debt has ballooned to Rs2.6 trillion. In 2023, nationwide power outage in Pakistan left nearly 220 million people without electricity and plunged several cities into darkness, according to local media reports.
