  1. EQUITABLE THE CASE OF KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA

  2. Province-Wise Per Capita Electricity Consumption FY 2009-10

  3. DISCO wise Peak-Demand/Load Drawl

  4. CRISIS IN KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWAIS BLOWING OUT OF PROPORTIONS

  5. DURATION OF LOAD SHEDDING IN KHYBER PAKHTHWA Quantum of Protests

  6. Guiding Principle “(We will) ensure equitableload shedding in Country” Recommendation No. 1– National Energy Summit, 9th April 2012 • EQUITABLE (ekwɪtəbl) • 1 : having or exhibiting equity: dealing fairly and equally with all concerned <an equitable settlement of the dispute>. • Merriam Webster • 2: fair and reasonable; treating everyone in a fairly equal way. Synonym: fair - an equitable distribution of resources. • Oxford Advance learner “Equitable” does not just mean “EQUAL” Other factors need to be weighed

  7. Equitable Load shedding • Each Province may be supplied electricity out of the available generation as per its percentile proportion established above. • OR • Each Province may be required to shed load from its Maximum Demand at the percentile proportion out of the shortfall

  8. Facts on ground !!! • Optics of deprivation worsening, fanning parochial sentiments. Province is producing 3582 MW of cheapest energy while Peak demand of the province is about 2490 MW, As such surplus of 1092 MW • Most frugal in use of electricity (Least per capita amongst Provinces). • Low ratio of investment in augmentation of system (PESCO receiving least priority in PEPCO investment plan). • While dealing PESCO, a clear bias in opening grid by NPCC, with no consultation of Province or provincial administration.

  9. FACTS IN FIGURES Province-wise Units Billed (Actual vs. Capacity) Province-wise Investment made on augmentation of system

  10. Province wise Domestic – Rural Consumers In case of any arrangement with higher load shedding on RURAL feeders, KPK is worst hit

  11. PESCO SYSTEM PROFILE

  12. LOAD BEING SHED PRESENTLY (PESCO QUOTA + NPCC)

  13. A CLEAR ILLUSTRATION OF “INEQUITY” – ANY GIVEN DAY

  14. In-equitibility • 16% Quota on 2006 Baseline (KPK 13.47 + TESCO 3.03 + AJK 45 MW) – Baseline Debatable: No justification, not giving weight to cheaper generation, frugality of use, system legacies. • Urban – Rural Differentiation --- Adding insult to injury • IESCO’s industrial load, shifted to Hattar due to relocation of Industry (50+ MW) --- (No upward Revision of 2006 Quota) • Forced Load Shedding, yet accounted as “Drawals” • Technological inadequacies, controverting “equitable” implementation.

  15. Process Management • Manual and Crude (Not automated, phone calls – Hotline carriers, verbal commands/reporting) • Arbitrary/Whimsical (No or conflicting written directions – Lack of SOPs for forced opening of grids) • Technological inadequacies, controverting “equitable” implementation. • Responsibilities diffused, conduct and operations not predictable. • Distant Control – Indifference to Human Element • Real people, real miseries • Playing into the whims and biases of operators/button-pushers

  16. Conclusion • “Equitable Load Shedding” as designed and perceivably implemented presently, is elusive, conceptually and in reality. • The enforcement regime is perpetuating unjust dispensation of power distribution in Khyer Pakhtunkhwa. • Centralized load-shedding control system, on one side disempowers the DISCO, while on the other, detracts from forthright responsibility and its accompanying appropriate conduct. • The centralized power system has failed to deliver, necessitating decentralization of both Generation and Distribution to the Provinces
