Chairman Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) Shakeel Durrani, said that power outages would continue till 2018. It is a pleasing and sad statement. It is pleasing because, first time any government official has given the correct time as former Federal Minister for Water and Power of Pakistan always gave wrong time. The sad is thing that Pakistan where wind energy, solar energy can produce thousands of megawatts will see load shedding problems till 2018.
What this government have done for the poor people is hard to find but one thing is clear that WAPDA chairman has said the truth. And his statement will remain truth if new projects are started to overcome electricity shortage as power demand would soar to 130,000 megawatt by 2030.
