400MW self-generation denying KESC huge earning

[quote]KARACHI: About 20 per cent of the industrial units in the city do not depend on the power produced by the Karachi Electric Supply Corporation (KESC) and rely on self-generation, certainly due to frequent power disruptions and the ever-rising electricity tariff. ....The city's overall demand is 1900MW, excluding the self-generated 400MW which is fast becoming the rising trend. No one else but the KESC high-ups are to be blamed for the huge revenue the power utility is losing due to self-generation.
