Pakistan Has More Power Than It Needs. Why Do We Still Have Loadshedding?

Pakistan's power generation was up 6% in March 2026. Per unit cost was down 14%. Yet large parts of the country sat in darkness for 12 to 16 hours a day. In PowerPlay: March 2026, we break down the real story behind Pakistan's worst loadshedding in recent memory — from Qatar's force majeure and the RLNG collapse, to the IRSA water release crisis, to the structural transmission problems that lose megawatts every single month. Hear from Dr. Afia Malik (Senior Research Economist) and Mr. Syed Faizan Ali Shah (Energy Advisor, Ministry of Energy) as they dissect the reasons behind this current loadshedding crisis.
