LESCO Shutdown Schedule 16 November 2026: 253 Feeders in Lahore, Sheikhupura, Kasur, Okara and Nankana

The Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) listed Monday at the end of its file "Approved Shut Down on 14-15 and 16-11-2026". We counted all 253 rows by circle, grid station and time. Saturday and Sunday are on our LESCO shutdown schedule for 14 and 15 November.

253 LESCO feeders are on the 16 November shutdown list

Monday's list covers all nine LESCO circles, with 253 entries. That is about 20 per cent longer than the 209 entries on the 11 November list, which was the longest before it.

LESCO prints only a circle number on each row. The names above come from the division names on the same rows, using the numbering LESCO has used on every list this month.

Most cuts run from 9 am to 2 pm on Monday

201 of the 253 rows run from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. The other 52 run from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, and most of those are factory feeders on the Shamkey and 220 kV Kala Shah Kaku grids.

The remarks column lists the work: tree trimming, setting right jumpers, replacing bus bars, cross arms and fuse fittings, fixing loose sag, and the yearly "Annual Shut Down". Several Ferozewala feeders that were cancelled from the 15 November list, such as Rachna Town and Azmat Park, are on the Shamkey grid list for Monday instead.

Lahore city feeders on the 16 November list

Lahore's city circles have 91 entries. The biggest blocks are in Defence Road and Raiwind Road areas in the south of the city, and Shalamar in the east.

Indus Hospital, the Nawaz Sharif cancer institute and King Edward Medical College are on the list. Hospitals usually switch to backup power during planned work, but visitors should expect slower lifts and services that morning.

Sheikhupura, Kasur, Okara and Nankana feeders

Outside Lahore, the Shamkey grid near Muridke and the 220 kV Kala Shah Kaku grid carry the longest runs. Most of these are steel, textile and other factory feeders, many off from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.

The one cancelled entry

Serial 29, the Munir Shaheed Road feeder in Rehman Pura sub division of Gulberg on the 132 kV Garden Town grid, is cancelled. LESCO's note says it was already off with the transformer shutdown on 14 November, when the Garden Town grid panel was replaced.

How to check your feeder and prepare

Your feeder name and code are on your LESCO bill. Match the name and the grid station, because names like Ghousia, Company Bagh and City-3 repeat across circles.

1. Find the feeder name and code on your electricity bill.
2. Open the Shutdown Schedule PDF on LESCO's load shedding and shutdown page.
3. Scroll to the section headed "Approved Shut Down on 16-11-2026".
4. Check that the grid station and sub division match your bill.
5. Charge phones and UPS batteries on Sunday night and fill water tanks before 9 am.
6. If power is still off well after 2 pm (or 3 pm for the later group), call LESCO on 118.

For the full method, see our guide to checking a planned power shutdown on LESCO and IESCO. To find which grid serves your feeder, use our LESCO grid station list. Complaint lines are on our LESCO complaint number page.
