People in KP may face more electricity problems in the coming days as Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO) has announced extra load shedding of 2 to 3 hours daily.
This means the existing schedule will continue, but now additional power cuts will also happen.
⚡ Why is load shedding increasing?
According to PESCO:
- Electricity production has gone down
- Fuel prices are very high
- There is also a shortage of fuel
Because of this, power supply is not enough to meet demand.
⏰ How much extra outage will happen?
- 2 to 3 hours extra load shedding
- On top of the already planned schedule
- Some areas may face longer total outages
⚠️ Important update for “no load shedding” areas
PESCO also said:
- Even Category 1, 2, and 3 feeders
- (areas where electricity usually stays on)
May now also face 2–3 hours outages

🧾 Final Take
Right now, this is being called a temporary situation, but no exact timeline has been given. PESCO says things will improve once electricity supply becomes stable again.
For now, people should be ready for more power cuts in the coming days.
