Step 1: find your feeder
Open your MEPCO bill. In the Consumer Detail box you will see Feeder (a feeder code followed by a name) and Sub Division. Note both; they decide your schedule.
Step 2: check the official schedule
- Feeder-wise details: PITC’s CCMS feeder details page, linked from MEPCO’s website.
- Load shedding schedule for consumers: MEPCO’s own schedule page.
- Planned shutdowns: MEPCO’s Electricity Shutdown page lists maintenance shutdowns by area and time.
Why some feeders get more load shedding
Pakistan’s distribution companies, including MEPCO, generally schedule more load management on feeders with higher losses and lower recovery, and less on feeders with good payment records. Industrial feeders and urban feeders can follow different patterns. Schedules also change with demand, for example in peak summer.
Unscheduled outage?
If power is off outside the schedule, it is a fault, not load shedding. Report it on 118 or through CCMS with your reference number. See MEPCO complaint and helpline.
Reduce the impact
- Run water motors and washing during supply hours.
- Size your UPS for essentials only: fans, lights, router.
- Consider rooftop solar; read net metering rules first.
