KARACHI, Nov 3: The KESC scheme 33 grid in Super Highway linking Wapda and sending electricity through 6-extra high tension 132KV circuits to the city will be fully overhauled and made functional providing reliable power supply by Nov 6, a KESC spokesman said on Sunday.
The overhauling and repair of five circuits, the Wapda-KESC link (Kalo- Kohar), Malir, Gulistan-i-Jauhar, Gulshan and Valika, has been finalized, and work on the sixth circuit, KDA-Federal B-Area, will be carried out from Nov 4 to 6.
The load on Malir, Gulistan-i-Jauhar, Gulshan circuits would be shifted on other circuits, therefore no loadshedding was carried out on these circuits. But for the repair of KDA-Valika circuit the KESC carried out loadshedding during the evening peak hours as announced on Oct 30.
