IESCO Shutdown Schedule 13 November 2026: 28 Feeders Off in Rawalpindi, Attock, Jhelum and Islamabad

The Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) posted the schedule as Press Release No 11:11/2026 on its website on 12 November. We opened IESCO's Power Shutdown list that evening, downloaded the English notice and sorted every feeder into the table below. One thing stood out: there is no notice for 12 November on the list, which jumps from 11 to 13 November, and the 13 November notice had no Urdu version yet when we checked.

IESCO shutdown on 13 November covers 28 feeders

IESCO's notice names 28 feeder entries in five circles. Rawalpindi City has 8, Rawalpindi Cantt 7, the GSO circle 6, Attock 5 and Jhelum 2. All cuts are on Friday 13 November, between 7 am and 2 pm, for annual system maintenance and construction work.

Feeder names are spelt as IESCO writes them. WASA and A-Block appear twice in Rawalpindi City, once in each time block. IESCO does not say whether these are two different feeders with the same name or one feeder off for two windows, so if you are on either, plan for 8 am to 2 pm.

Attock has the longest cut, 7 hours

Attock circle's five feeders are off from 7 am to 2 pm, which is 7 hours. Rawalpindi Cantt, Jhelum and the second Rawalpindi City block run 5 hours, from 9 am to 2 pm. The GSO circle is off for 3 hours.

Two hospital feeders are on the list: Holy Family Hospital and Quaid Azam Hospital, both from 9 am to 2 pm. Large hospitals usually run backup generators, but nearby homes and shops on the same feeder will be without power. If someone at home uses an oxygen concentrator or other machine, arrange backup before 9 am.

How to find your feeder before the cut

Your feeder name is not printed on every bill, but your reference number lets you look it up. Our guide on the load shedding schedule by reference number shows how to find the feeder linked to your connection.

1. Take your latest IESCO bill and note the 14-digit reference number.
2. Look up the feeder on the PITC page for your reference number.
3. Match the feeder name with the table above.
4. If it is listed, charge phones and fill the water tank before the start time.
5. If power is not back 30 minutes after the end time, call 118 and note the complaint number.

IESCO also runs a full maintenance calendar for the year. Our IESCO annual maintenance schedule 2026-27 lets you see when your feeder is due again.

FESCO also posted cuts for 13 to 15 November

In the Faisalabad region, FESCO posted an Urdu notice on 12 November that lists feeder shutdowns on 13, 14 and 15 November 2026 for line and grid station repairs. The notice runs many grids and dates together in one long paragraph.

We read it on fesco.com.pk but have not listed its feeders here, because we could not match every feeder to its date with full confidence. If you are a FESCO customer, open the notice on FESCO's home page or call 118. The same notice carried FESCO's figures on electricity theft, which we cover in a separate report on FESCO's 3,741 theft cases.

Power may come back early or late

IESCO's times are planned. Work can finish early and supply can return before the end time, so treat lines as live at all times. Work can also run late, especially if it rains, and IESCO does not post an updated notice in that case.

IESCO says the schedules are also shared on its Facebook page, IESCO Updates, and on X, IESCO Official Pk. For a fault after the window, call 118 or use the routes in our IESCO complaint number guide.
