New technology which will reduce the electricity bills for home
appliances by at least 40% are in the offing, said Federal Minister for
Science and Technology Shibli Faraz.
“It will be used in the making of home appliances such as fans,
motors, tube lights, and other electronic equipment,” he told.
The new technology will save electricity and can be used in industries
and other fields. He did not, however, give any further details on the
initiative.
A laboratory will be opened at the port to check imported electrical
equipment to see if it matches the new technology standard or not. If
it doesn’t then the appliances will be sent back.
Power outages and over-billing are some of the major problems in
Pakistan especially in Karachi which is the main business hub of the
country.
Often Karachi people protest against K-Electric, NEPRA, and Sindh
government against load shedding and over-billing. This will solve
their problems, it is hoped.
