Due to rapid population increase and accelerated daily energy demand, electricity theft has become one of the
common crimes in developing countries. Load shedding is observed not only for electricity but also for natural
gas leading to further revenue losses for the state. The energy sector in Pakistan has long been facing serious
problems of electricity generation and distribution. The aim of this paper is to present a case for a GIS modeling
for Spatial Electricity Management System in Karachi so as to help circumvent the recurrent problems of
electricity theft and mal-distribution in the city. |
