K-Electric will carry out scheduled maintenance on 34 of its 2,129 feeders across Karachi on July 30, 2026, resulting in temporary power outages in the affected areas.
The utility says the shutdowns are tied to transformer maintenance work and will run between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM, with individual areas facing outages of roughly 7 to 12 hours depending on the feeder.
This is a routine part of K-Electric’s ongoing network maintenance schedule, which the company runs on a rotating basis across different parts of the city.
Feeder-specific shutdowns like today’s are separate from unplanned outages caused by faults or overloading, and residents in affected areas can expect power to be restored automatically once maintenance work is completed – no manual reconnection request is needed.

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.
Read our full guide: How to check your area feeder using K-Electric’s bill or mobile app
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:
- Helpline: 118
- KE app or website complaint portal
- WhatsApp: K-Electric’s official WhatsApp support channel
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does K-Electric shut down feeders for maintenance?
Feeder maintenance allows K-Electric to service transformers, replace worn equipment, and reduce the risk of unplanned faults. It’s routine upkeep rather than a response to a specific problem.
Q: Will I get advance notice for future outages?
Yes – K-Electric issues a daily maintenance schedule, and Times of Karachi publishes it here each morning. Bookmark our Power Outage Alert page https://timesofkarachi.pk/category/karachi-power-outage-alert/ or follow us on WhatsApp https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaCZ6cV4CrfcHFvWki1J for same-day alerts.
Follow the Times of Karachi channel on WhatsApp for instant outage alerts as soon as K-Electric issues them.
Q: My feeder isn’t listed – does that mean I won’t lose power?
If your feeder isn’t on today’s list, it isn’t scheduled for maintenance shutdown today. Unplanned outages can still occur due to faults, which K-Electric handles separately from this schedule.
