Pakistan's electricity sector is grappling with significant financial challenges as transmission losses have surpassed Rs 600 billion over the past two fiscal years, according to a report by Daily Times. This issue has been compounded by persistent load shedding, with some areas experiencing outages of 10 hours or more. Federal Minister for Power Division Owais Laghari, in a written reply to the National Assembly, acknowledged these losses and the ongoing inefficiencies in the power supply system. Dunya News highlights that major distribution companies like PESCO, LESCO, and SEPCO reported substantial losses, with PESCO alone accounting for Rs 96 billion. Despite advancements in net metering and off-grid solar capacity, which reached 7,000 MW and 12.62 MW respectively by December 2025, the electricity supply remains unreliable for many consumers.
