The Islamabad Electric Supply Company swings into action and rolls out a fresh load shedding schedule for its customers. Officials blame the ongoing international petroleum crisis for a sudden drop in power generation. They say high fuel prices and supply chain problems leave them with no choice. They implement temporary cuts in both city and village areas.
IESCO Blames Rising Fuel Costs for Power Shortfall
A company spokesperson explains that the global energy crunch forces equal-duration outages everywhere under its control. Moreover, the utility promises the inconvenience will stay short-term. It says it is working to restore normal supply as soon as possible. As a result, families and businesses now face planned blackouts. These hit during peak hours in many neighbourhoods.
Customers Urged to Check Official Website for Exact Timings
IESCO quickly uploads the full schedule on its website so people can plan ahead and avoid surprises. In addition, the company apologises directly to consumers. It asks everyone to stay patient during this tough period. Officials also remind residents to call the helpline 118 anytime they need clear details about their area’s outage times.
The move comes at a time when many households already struggle with summer heat and rising electricity bills. Still, IESCO management stresses that the step protects the overall grid. It also prevents longer blackouts later. Customers who rely on the network for work, study or medical equipment now adjust their routines. They check updates every day.
Power officials promise they will review the situation daily. They will lift the restrictions the moment fuel supplies improve. For now, the company urges full public cooperation so the temporary plan runs smoothly for everyone involved.
