According to the power utility, the planned shutdowns are intended to facilitate maintenance and upgrades to the electricity distribution network, helping improve the reliability and stability of power supplies across the city.
The outages will occur at different times depending on the feeder and the maintenance work required. Consumers in the affected areas may experience electricity disruptions between 8am and 6pm.
K-Electric clarified that the scheduled interruptions are part of planned maintenance activities and are separate from unplanned outages caused by technical faults, feeder tripping or high electricity demand. Power supply is expected to be restored once the necessary work has been completed.
Areas That May Face Power Outages
Residents, businesses and other consumers connected to the affected feeders may experience temporary power cuts during their respective maintenance periods.
The utility has advised consumers to check the relevant maintenance schedule in advance and make necessary arrangements to minimise disruptions to household and business activities.
K-Electric said the maintenance initiative is part of its broader efforts to strengthen Karachi’s electricity distribution infrastructure and improve the quality, stability and reliability of power supply across the city.

Earlier to this, K-Electric has announced scheduled power outage for maintenance work on 47 feeders across Karachi on October 09, 2026, which may result in temporary power outages in several areas of the city.
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.
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
