How Residents Can Prepare for Karachi power outage
To avoid disruption, K Electric advised residents to charge essential devices in advance and plan daily activities around the outage schedule. Moreover, people who rely on electric water pumps, medical equipment, or work from home should arrange backup power where possible. In addition, families are encouraged to store water and complete essential chores before the shutdown begins.
Meanwhile, the company urged consumers to rely only on official updates and avoid sharing unverified information. For this reason, customers should check their feeder name and outage duration through their electricity bill, the KE mobile app, or K Electric’s official social media pages. This way, residents can better manage their schedules and reduce inconvenience.
At present, Karachi continues to face pressure on its power infrastructure due to high demand and rapid population growth. Therefore, scheduled maintenance remains an important part of managing the network. Although the shutdown may cause inconvenience, K Electric says it is necessary to ensure better service and fewer breakdowns in the coming weeks.
As a result, residents in the affected areas should stay informed and plan ahead for January 10. In the meantime, the utility company expects to restore power immediately after the maintenance work concludes in each locality. Ultimately, these efforts aim to improve stability and service quality across the city.
