Check MEPCO Shutdown Schedule by Feeder Code: Read the Letter, Dates and Timings in 7 Steps

The Multan Electric Power Company (MEPCO) does not post one daily file like some other companies. It uploads signed letters, each covering a circle or a job, often for two weeks at a time. The 16 to 30 November 2026 letter, for example, lists 75 feeder entries across eight circles, and some feeders are off on ten or more separate days. So the dates on your row matter more than the date on the letter.

Your feeder code is the safest way to match a MEPCO shutdown

Feeder names repeat across MEPCO's area. Shadman, Khan Pur, City-I and Civil Hospital each appear in more than one town. The feeder code is unique, so match the code first and the name second.

• Feeder name: the 11 kV line that supplies your street, printed on the bill.
• Feeder code: a number of five or six digits, such as 076601 or 055114. Leading zeros are sometimes dropped, so 76601 and 076601 are the same feeder. Enter your 14 digit reference number on the PITC feeder portal and it shows your feeder code and name together.
• Grid station: the substation the feeder comes from, such as 132 kV Makhdoom Rasheed or 132 kV Sahiwal-New.
• Sub division: your local MEPCO office. It is printed on the bill and on every shutdown row.

How to read a MEPCO shutdown letter

Each letter is a scanned page from MEPCO's Director (O&M) Distribution in Multan. The table has the same eight columns every time.

Above the table, the letter explains the reason for the work, such as road widening, re-conductoring a feeder or installing a transformer. Below it, MEPCO names its safety supervisors for the job. Those are staff contacts for the work crews, not public helplines.

Dates and times are often shared across rows

On the scanned letters, one date cell or timing cell often covers several rows. If a row looks empty, read the cell beside it: it applies to every feeder in that block. Mian Channu's City-I, City-III and Hammad Banglow feeders, for example, share one date list and one 8:00 am to 12:00 noon window.

Steps to check your MEPCO shutdown online

You can do this on a phone. Keep your bill or reference number ready.

1. Find the feeder name and sub division on your MEPCO bill, and get the feeder code from the PITC feeder portal with your reference number.
2. Open mepco.com.pk and go to Customer Care, then Electricity Shutdown.
3. Open the newest letters first. File names start with "SD" and include the date or date range, such as "SD-Rre-16.11.26 to 30.11.26".
4. Look for your circle in the letter's address line, such as Multan, Vehari or Bahawalnagar.
5. Find your feeder code in the table and write down every date and the timing on that row.
6. Charge phones and UPS batteries the night before each date, and fill water tanks early.
7. If power is still off well after the listed end time, call 118 with your reference number.

Which MEPCO circles post shutdown letters

Letters on the page are addressed to the circle Superintending Engineers. The November 2026 letters cover these circles and grids.

The latest list is on our page for the MEPCO shutdown schedule from 16 to 30 November 2026. Earlier letters are on our 8 to 17 November page.

A shutdown is not the same as load shedding

A shutdown is planned maintenance on named dates. Load shedding is the daily rotation of power cuts set by feeder losses. Both can hit the same feeder, so check both lists.

Daily load shedding hours by feeder are on our MEPCO load shedding schedule. The PITC feeder portal also shows live on and off status when you enter your 14 digit reference number or six digit feeder code, as explained in our load shedding by reference number guide. Under NEPRA's rules, the company must give notice of a planned cut in advance; our guide to the planned power cut limit sets out what that means.

Common questions

Where is the MEPCO shutdown schedule?

On mepco.com.pk under Customer Care, Electricity Shutdown. MEPCO posts scanned approval letters there, newest at the top.

How do I find my MEPCO feeder code?

Your bill shows the feeder name. Enter your 14 digit reference number on the PITC feeder portal, and it shows the six digit feeder code with the feeder name and grid.

Why is my feeder off on so many days?

Some jobs, such as road widening or re-conductoring, are done in stages. The letter then lists every day the feeder will be off on the same row.

What does 0830 to 1330 mean?

It is 24 hour time. 0830 to 1330 means 8:30 am to 1:30 pm, and 0730 to 1230 means 7:30 am to 12:30 pm.

Can MEPCO change or cancel a shutdown?

Yes. MEPCO's shutdown page says the schedule can change for technical or operational reasons, so check again the evening before.

Who do I call if power does not come back?

Call the 118 helpline with your reference number. Circle and complaint office numbers are on our MEPCO complaint number page.
