According to the power utility, the outages are part of its routine maintenance activities, which are intended to improve the performance of the distribution network and ensure a more reliable electricity supply.
The scheduled shutdowns will take place at different times between 8am and 6pm. The duration of each interruption will depend on the location and the maintenance work being carried out.
K-Electric clarified that these outages are planned in advance and are separate from unexpected power cuts caused by technical problems, feeder tripping or high electricity demand. Supply is expected to resume after the necessary work has been completed.
Which Areas Will Be Affected?
Residents and businesses connected to the designated feeders may face temporary power interruptions during the scheduled maintenance hours.
Consumers have been advised to check the relevant maintenance timings beforehand and plan accordingly, especially if they depend on a continuous electricity supply for household, commercial or business activities.
K-Electric said its maintenance programme is aimed at upgrading and maintaining Karachi’s power distribution infrastructure, with the broader objective of improving service reliability across the city.

Earlier to this, K-Electric has announced scheduled power outage for maintenance work on 54 feeders across Karachi on October 07, 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.
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
