As temperatures climb, electricity demand has surged, increasing the load on the grid. In the provincial capital, unannounced and forced load shedding is underway during the extreme heat, with 2‑3 hour outages in various city areas and up to 4‑hour cuts in rural zones. Additional technical failures, including transformer fires, have left many neighborhoods without power for hours. Between 5 pm and midnight, average demand reached 3,787 MW while supply was 3,053 MW, resulting in a shortfall of 682 MW. According to a LESCO spokesperson, independent industrial consumers continued to receive uninterrupted power; commercial and industrial‑dominated feeders experienced two 2‑hour load‑management periods, and residential areas faced 1‑hour‑30‑minute outages. LESCO officials reported that from midnight to 5 am, demand fell to 3,510 MW and supply to 2,824 MW, with the shortfall reduced to 607 MW, and no load management was applied to independent, commercial, or industrial feeders. The spokesperson added that as supply improves, the duration of load‑management periods will be further reduced.
