The Power Division has announced a significant update regarding the country’s electricity situation, stating that load shedding has been reduced following an improvement in power generation and system stability.
According to an official spokesperson, increased water releases from dams have boosted hydropower generation, allowing the national grid to produce up to 5,000 megawatts during peak hours. Additionally, around 400 megawatts of extra electricity from the southern region has further strengthened supply conditions.
The Power Division confirmed that no load management was carried out during peak night hours on April 17, 18, and 19, while only limited outages were recorded on April 20 in a few areas.
However, officials also warned that power plants with a combined capacity of approximately 5,500 megawatts remain offline due to LNG shortages, and their restoration depends on timely fuel supply.
Despite the overall improvement, authorities said load management will continue in areas with high losses and electricity theft as part of ongoing policy measures.
The update signals gradual relief for consumers, though energy officials caution that stability depends on continued fuel availability and water flow management.
