K-Electric has shifted blame and said that the Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) is responsible for expensive electricity being generated by the power utility. The KE made the argument at a hearing at the Sindh High Court (SHC) which was hearing a case related to a payment dispute between the two entities and a reduction in gas supply from SSGC to KE.

The lawyer of KE the sole power utility of the city said that due to a shortfall in gas supply, the company is unable to generate the required amount of power. Barrister Ayan Memon said instead of providing natural gas, SSGC is providing RLNG, which costs eight times more, resulting in expensive electricity. The lawyer added that MD SSGC Imran Maniar Malik “should be charged with contempt of court”.
