The Cost of Unserved Energy: Evidence from Selected Industrial Cities of Pakistan
Published By: PIDE on eSS | Published Date: April, 01 , 2011This study is an attempt to explore the cost of unserved energy due to
power outages in Pakistan that started in 2007. The study is based on a survey
conducted for four major industrial cities of Punjab—Gujrat, Faisalabad,
Gujranwala, and Sialkot. In addition to quantification of output losses, the effect
on employment, cost of production, and delay in supply orders are also
examined. The output loss is quantified using two-dimensional analyses,
controlling for variations in the duration of outages and in the shift hours. [PIDE Working Papers
