Govt to shift KP load management from feeders to transformers

November 04, 2026 (MLN): The government has agreed to reduce load shedding in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and extend hours of electricity supply to high-loss areas that previously faced prolonged outages, as it rolls out the Transformer-Based Load Management System across the province.

Under the system, the conventional practice of shutting down entire feeders will be phased out, with load management shifted directly to individual transformers.

The federal leadership expressed hope that the public would reciprocate the goodwill gesture by clearing outstanding electricity dues and supporting the campaign against power theft, so that the improved supply can be sustained without interruption.

The decision was taken at a consultative meeting in Islamabad co-chaired by Minister for Power Division Sardar Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari, Minister for Petroleum Ali Pervaiz Malik and KP Governor Faisal Karim Kundi, aimed at finding sustainable solutions to the province’s power and energy challenges, said a press release issued.

Sardar Awais Leghari said the transformer-based system is being actively implemented across KP.

Faisal Karim Kundi gave an overview of the province’s energy situation and pressed for a meaningful cut in the duration of load shedding, particularly in high-loss and hard-hit areas, after which Sardar Awais Leghari agreed to the relief, putting public interest first.

The meeting was held to improve the energy situation and provide relief to the public in close collaboration with the provincial administration.

The federal government and KP leadership agreed to stay in close coordination to ensure timely execution of the agreed roadmap and deliver prompt, lasting relief to the people of the province.
