IESCO Announces Temporary Power Outage Schedule for Islamabad Region

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) has released a schedule for temporary power outages across the region, effective from October 7, 2026. This initiative aims to facilitate ongoing development projects, including the construction of new flyovers, underpasses, and 11KV feeders, as well as road expansions.

According to an official statement from IESCO, the outages are necessary to ensure the successful completion of these projects, which are expected to enhance infrastructure and improve public services in the long term. The company has urged residents to prepare for the outages and has provided a detailed schedule to minimize inconvenience.

The implications of these outages are significant for residents and businesses alike, as reliable electricity is crucial for daily activities and economic stability. While the development projects promise future benefits, the immediate disruptions may lead to frustration among the public, particularly in areas heavily reliant on consistent power supply.

IESCO has committed to keeping the public informed about the progress of the projects and any changes to the outage schedule. Residents are encouraged to stay updated through IESCO’s official channels as the company works to balance development needs with the community’s electricity requirements.
