According to K-Electric, power supply in the affected areas may be suspended at different times between 8am and 6pm. The duration of each interruption will depend on the nature and scope of maintenance being carried out on the respective feeders.
The utility said the planned outages are part of its regular maintenance programme, which is aimed at improving the reliability, stability and overall performance of Karachi’s electricity distribution network.
K-Electric also clarified that these scheduled interruptions are separate from unplanned power outages caused by technical faults, equipment failures, tripping incidents or excessive system load.
Karachi Areas Affected by Scheduled Outages
Consumers connected to any of the 37 feeders undergoing maintenance on September 1 may experience temporary electricity disruptions during the designated maintenance periods.
K-Electric has advised residents and businesses in the affected areas to review the relevant outage schedules and plan essential electricity-dependent activities accordingly.
Consumers have also been encouraged to make alternative arrangements in advance to reduce inconvenience during the scheduled maintenance work.

How to Check Your Feeder
Not sure which feeder serves your area? You can identify it two ways:
1. Check your K-Electric bill – the feeder name is printed near your account details.
2. Use the K-Electric mobile app or website – enter your account number to see your feeder name and any active outage alerts.

You can also check real-time feeder-wise outage status anytime on our live power outage tracker
If Your Area Is Affected
- Charge phones, laptops, and any backup devices ahead of the scheduled window.
- If you rely on an electric water pump, fill storage tanks before the outage begins.
- Avoid opening fridges/freezers unnecessarily during the outage to keep food cold longer.
Power should restore automatically at the listed end time – if it doesn’t come back within an hour of the scheduled end, that likely indicates a separate fault, not the planned maintenance.
How to Report a Problem
If your power doesn’t restore after the scheduled window, or you notice an issue not related to today’s listed maintenance, you can reach K-Electric through:
