Abstract
The existing electric power transmission and distribution system seems to be incapable to accommodate the irresistible energy crisis, the rising supply, demand gap, the consumers need and more importantly fail to resist supply theft in the country. The rising darkness in the country has become a challenge for everyone to facilitate customer and run business. Industries are closing and unemployment turns into crime. Considering present situation, the core objective of this paper is to identify flaws in the system and their impacts. In this regard, the comprehensive study of energy system performed along with its current structural distribution, flow and govern the body framework to discover the weakness, threats and challenges. Which will be valuable to identify root causes of exiting the situations and also helpful in future work or solutions that specifically targeting real problem and avoid recurrence. The results found ground-breaking facts that not only affecting the country status in global perspective, but also a barrier in the development, industrialization and urbanization. While, the govern authorities focus on adding more power to a system which is not an enduring solution to control the energy situation. On the contrary, the power energy companies suffering from unbearable huge circular debts which gradually increases and losing significant ratio of the GPD every year. The paper discusses all these areas in depth with statistics and findings, highlighting the underline problems and recommendation to overcome the current situation.
