MEPCO shutdown letter dated 13 November 2026 listing feeders, dates and timings from 16 to 30 November

Short answer: MEPCO has approved planned power shutdowns on 75 feeder entries between 16 and 30 November 2026, in Multan, Khanewal, Muzaffargarh, Bahawalpur, Sahiwal, Bahawalnagar, Vehari and Dera Ghazi Khan circles. Most cuts last four to five hours in the morning, starting between 7:30 am and 9:00 am. On Monday, 16 November alone, 31 feeders are off, including one in Lodhran.

The Multan Electric Power Company (MEPCO) issued the list in letter No. 3842-60, dated 13 November 2026, from the office of its Chief Executive. A second letter of the same date, No. 3871-81, adds the Colony feeder in Lodhran from 16 to 18 November. Both are on MEPCO's electricity shutdown page. This list runs alongside the MEPCO shutdowns for 8 to 17 November we covered earlier.

How to check your MEPCO feeder and prepare

Your feeder name and feeder code are printed on your MEPCO bill. The code is the safest match, because names such as Shadman, Khan Pur and City-I repeat in different towns.

  1. Find the feeder name and code on your MEPCO bill.
  2. Open the electricity shutdown page on mepco.com.pk and open the letter "SD-Rre-16.11.26 to 30.11.26".
  3. Match your feeder code and grid station, then write down every date on that row.
  4. Charge phones and UPS batteries the night before, and fill water tanks early.
  5. If power is still off well after the listed time, call MEPCO on 118.

Our guide to checking a MEPCO shutdown by feeder code explains the letters step by step. For daily load shedding hours, see the MEPCO load shedding schedule, and for complaint lines use our MEPCO complaint number page.

Common questions

Is there a MEPCO shutdown on 16 November 2026?

Yes. 31 feeders are off on 16 November, in Bahawalpur, Lodhran, Multan, Vehari, Mian Channu, Jampur, Taunsa, Muzaffargarh, Haroonabad and Chishtian.

How long is each shutdown?

Most run four to five hours. Sahiwal feeders are off from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm, Bahawalpur from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm, and most Multan and Vehari feeders until 1:00 pm or 1:30 pm.

Why is MEPCO cutting power for so many days?

The letter lists road widening on several main roads, re-conductoring of the Habib feeder, splitting of two feeders and a new transformer. Each job has its own dates, so one feeder can be off on several separate days.

Are hospitals on the list?

Yes. DHQ Teaching Hospital and Civil Hospital feeders in Sahiwal are off on 18, 21, 23, 26 and 30 November from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm. Hospitals normally run on backup power during planned work.

Can the dates change?

Yes. MEPCO's page says the shutdown schedule can change for technical or operational reasons. Check the page again the evening before your date.

Will I get less load shedding on a shutdown day?

The letter asks grid staff to follow a revised load shedding schedule and refers to a compensation schedule. It does not list hours by feeder, so check your feeder on the load shedding page.
