Understanding the LESCO Power Shutdown Schedule for November 8 to 10
The Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) has announced scheduled power outages in several areas on November 8, 9, and 10, 2026, to carry out maintenance and repair work on electricity lines and grid stations. Consumers in multiple localities across Lahore and other parts of LESCO's service region may face temporary power interruptions during the scheduled work. Regular upkeep of electrical infrastructure helps prevent major grid failures and ensures a stable power supply over the long term, though it requires temporary localized outages.
Most shutdowns will take place between 9:00am and 2:00pm, while some areas will experience outages from 10:00am to 3:00pm. Utility providers plan these windows carefully to balance the need for essential engineering work with the daily routines of residents and businesses in the affected zones. Households and commercial operators in the designated sectors must prepare for the temporary disruption in electricity service.
Power Outage Details for November 8
The first phase of the three-day maintenance program begins on November 8, targeting specific parts of the distribution network. On November 8, electricity supply from Ghazi Grid Station will remain suspended between 9:00am and 2:00pm. Technicians will use this five-hour window to inspect and repair high-voltage equipment and lines connected to this station.
The affected feeders include IT Centre, Hussain Road, Altaf Colony, Bhains Road, and Ali Muhammad Bazaar. Residents and business owners operating within these specific feeder zones should plan their daily activities accordingly, as cooling, lighting, and electrical machinery will be offline during the stated hours.
Grid Station Maintenance Across Lahore on November 9
Maintenance operations scale up significantly on the second day of the schedule, involving numerous facilities across the region. On November 9, maintenance work will be carried out at several grid stations, including Alipur, Allama Iqbal Town, Atta Abad, Bhai Pheru, Bhogiwal, Chah Miran, Chunian, Fateh Garh, Ghazi, Johar Town, Kahna, Kasur New, Kot Radha Kishan, Lahore Cantt, Raiwind New, Sabzazar, Shadman, Township, and Wapda Town.
The sheer number of grid stations involved means that large parts of the urban and suburban landscape will see temporary blackouts. Affected localities include Data Abad, Karam Abad, Muhammadpura, Shah Kamal, Kot Sher Khan, Chhanga Manga, Jallo Park, Hafizpura, Johar Town, Khadian Kasur, Sarwar Road, Kashmir Block, Choburji Park, Nawan Kot, and Punjab Society 2.

These intermittent cuts may happen multiple times as engineers test lines and switch loads between active and inactive grid segments.
Final Day Outages and Intermittent Disruptions on November 10
The maintenance campaign concludes on November 10 with work scheduled on another extensive group of infrastructure assets. On November 10, maintenance activities will affect several other grid stations, including Bhai Pheru, DHA, Garden Town, Gulshan Ravi, Kala Shah Kaku, Khadian, Kot Radha Kishan, Lahore Cantt, Manga, Mochi, Muridke, Nankana, Narang, New Kot Lakhpat, Okara City, Pattoki, Shahdara, Sheikhupura, and Wapda Town.

On November 10, consumers in Dera Chahal, DHA Feeders 5 and 6, and areas connected to Burki Road Grid Station may also experience intermittent electricity interruptions between 9:00am and 2:00pm. Utility officials urge customers in all listed zones to keep electronic appliances unplugged during the maintenance windows to protect them from potential power surges when service is restored.
