Power shortages in Pakistan have eased significantly as hydroelectric generation rebounded following increased water releases from dams. According to reports from Islamabad and Singapore, daily outages have been reduced from six hours to fewer than three hours. Hydropower generation rose to 4,100 megawatts (MW) late Thursday, a sharp increase from the 1,800 MW recorded before the dam releases. This surge in output has also relieved pressure on the national grid, allowing for the transmission of an additional 400 MW from the country's south.
