\nIn a televised address at 10am, the minister explained said that there was a \u201cdelay in synchronisation\u201d between Tarbela and Mangla power plants.
\n\u201cBut with the support of the Power Division, Wapda and other departments, we fixed the technical problem after which power at systems across the country was restored.
\n\u201cToday, at 5:15am, the system was completely restored across the country,\u201d Dastgir said.
\nHe said that approximately 6,600 megawatts of coal and 3,500MW of nuclear plants would take an estimated 48 to 72 hours to restart. \u201cUntil these plants start running, there will be limited load management, excluding industrial users.\u201d
\nThe minister added that efforts were underway by the Power Division to restart these plants.
\nAccording to media reports, in Karachi, outages were reported in Defence, Gulistan-e-Jauhar, North Karachi, Federal B Areas, Gulshan, Jacob Lines, Korangi, Landhi and Qayyumabad on Tuesday morning.
\nMeanwhile, K-Electric spokesperson Imran Rana tweeted earlier today that the restoration of connectivity between the national grid and Karachi has helped improve the electricity supply to the metropolis.
\nOn the other hand, the spokesperson of the Quetta Electric Supply Company told\u00a0reporters, that electricity was partially restored across Balochistan from the 220kV Uch-Sibbi transmission line.
\nIn Quetta, he said, power was being supplied from the 132kV Sibbi- Quetta circuit transmission line.
\n\u201cWe have also restored electricity at grid stations in Dera Murad Jamali, Rojhan Jamali and Gandakha, Bhag, Jhal Magsi, Usta Muhammad, Sohbatpur, Sui, Sibbi, Dhadar and Machh.\u201d
\nFurther improvement in the power situation will come after the Dera Ghazi Khan-Loralai transmission line is repaired, the Qesco spokesperson added. \u201cGod willing, electricity will be fully restored in Quetta and other areas by tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
