| Abstract | The electricity shortage crisis is not just a passing one , but a reality that
threatens to become a permanent feature in Pal<istan in the near future. System
expansion has become a popular means to meet the ever growing electricity
demand. The more obvious option of improving the performance of existing
electricity system, which is cheaper to implement and generally has higher and
quicker returns, has been given l esser priority. It is imperative that a country
which is facing serious electricity s hortages must, along with an increase in
the supply of electricity through all resources at its command, also ensure that
it operates t he existing electricity system most efficiently and makes economic
a nd efficient use of electricity.
This study identifies the opportunities to improve the technological
performance of the WAPDA electricity system in the areas of power generation,
tr ansmission and distribution, as well as in end-use performance in the industrial
sector of the country.
The technological performance indicators are evaluated to assess the
performance of the existing electricity system, and areas having potential for
improvement are identified. Policies are recommended in order to address these
particular improvements. |
