    KESC is Dishonest itself.

    very few people are aware that they can repreive by going to Electric Inspector in NEPRA and filling a complaint against KESC .

    If there is a detection bill , KESC is not allowed to charge more than three months in difference and maximum six months if they get permision from their CEO. this is according to NEPRA rule/code 9-1-c .

    If the meter is burnt out by water seepage or natural acts of GOD, KESC is responsible to pay for that not the consumer.

    At the moment KESC is charging the consumer for this.

    KESC is also charging 18 months of difference in billing for detection bills. This is dishonest and thievery by KESC.
    KESC is charging

    so for as i think this is a good effort which i have just read by as a matter of fact i want to add something in ur information n that is critisisms is a bit easy as compared to look at the facts and the statistical information provided by KESC. but we know really well that hydroelectric power stations are the only source of the electricity of pakistan. we must consider the water shortage of pakistan. neither i have connections with any political party nor i m favouring someone. but we will have to give some time to the new political management of pakistan. it is also a fact that there are some management problems in WAPDA and the picture u have presented is a prove of this. but as paksiatan is a third world country so we will have to be patient rather than exploring the problems of pakistan internationally. please stop critising and secure the moral of this country.

    Hi,

    I think the problem is also with our lifestyle. we live in a 3rd world country, but we consume electricity more than people living in developed countries.

    one of the reason in my opinion is the use of Television. I remember in my childhoold, there was only PTV which usually start its transmission at 4:00 p, and would stop around 11:30 pm. ( 6 hours per day average )

    now with all those private channels, ( approx 64) in most of the homes, Television is being used for more than 14-16 hours per day. ( start from 10:00 am in the morning to 1:00 am )

    on average Television cosumes 0.80 kWH electricity in 1 hour
    21″ tube TV consumes 70 watts
    70 x 12 hours = 840 / 1000 = .84 kWH (kilo watt hour )

    so if you use your Television for 12 hours
    0.80 x 12 hours = 9.6 kWH per day !!

    as compare to the old days on average we are using more evergy to watch TV, that means approx 5 kWH more energy per day.

    an estimate what do you think ow many TVs are in karachi city ( a population of 1,50,00,000 ) now imagine 15 Lacks TVs in karachi

    15,00,000 TV x 5 kWH = 75,00,000 ( 75 Lacks kWH )
    which is 7.5 MW
    so in terms of TVs only we are spending 7.5 MW !!

    now you can calcualte for
    VCRs, DVD Players, Personal Computers etc etc.

    and the most important thing is about our lifestyle in karachi. we stay up around until 1:00 as average, if we goto bed early, lets say 11:00 pm, we will be saving a lot of energy.

    and also a lot of medical expenses. most of the people in karachi city develop diseases like, blood pressure, stomach problems and other so many problmes due to the lack of sleep.

    I think we need to change our lifestyle.
    we are the culprits.
    people of a poor country, try to adopt a lifestyle of rich countries.
