US media: In order to deal with the tide of power outages, Pakistan changed the 6 -day work system t

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] In order to respond to the power outage of energy shortage, the Pakistani government announced a series of energy -saving measures. Bloomberg reported on the 8th that the government not only changed the 6 -day work system to 5 days a week after the implementation of the country, but also considered it on Friday as a mandatory home work day to promote energy saving. Since the Pakistani government came to power in April this year, it once changed the working system to 6 days, saying that it would further increase national productivity. However, in the face of high energy prices and continuous power outages, the work system is unsustainable.

The data shows that the cost of energy imports in Pakistan has doubled in the past 10 months. At present, Pakistan's national power generation is 21,000 MW, but due to the recent heat waves, national electricity demand once reached 28,400 mega watts. In addition to restoring the 5 -day working system per week, Pakistan also announced that it will take a series of energy -saving branches in government departments, including shutting down air conditioners, reducing outbound travel travel, reducing fuel quotas for government departments, and promoting online meetings. In addition, the Pakistani government will carry out energy -saving publicity and education activities. The central government will also discuss promoting street lights in various places to open the next day. (Zhen Xiang)
