The Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) has started IESCO loadshedding in five cities and surrounding areas, saying electricity supply has fallen short of demand.
Cities Affected by IESCO Loadshedding
- Islamabad
- Rawalpindi (both the City and Cantonment operation circles)
- Attock
- Jhelum
- Chakwal
Timings of the Power Cuts
| Feeders | Outage hours |
|---|---|
| Most feeders | 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM |
| Some feeders | 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM |
According to IESCO’s public notice, the company has begun equal-duration power cuts across all its operation circles to manage the gap between supply and demand. A spokesperson confirmed that equal-duration outages are being applied on all 11-kV feeders so that the available electricity is shared fairly.
When Will the Loadshedding End?
IESCO management said it will end the load management once electricity supplies meet consumer demand. It described the cuts as temporary and apologised to customers for the inconvenience.
What Consumers Can Do
Residents in the affected cities can plan around the morning and early afternoon outages, keep devices charged, and check their feeder timings with IESCO’s helpline or its official social media pages for updates.
