K-Electric Grants Load-Shedding Relief to North Nazimabad Block B

In a development that brings much-needed relief to Karachi residents, K-Electric (KE) has declared North Nazimabad Block B load-shedding-free, ending daily power outages that previously lasted up to 10 hours.

According to KE’s official announcement, more than 1,600 consumers in Block B will now receive uninterrupted 24-hour electricity. This exemption is part of KE’s wider strategy to improve power reliability across the metropolis.

The utility stated:

“This achievement underscores our technical progress and community partnerships aimed at delivering uninterrupted electricity. It also reflects our focus on reducing AT&C (Aggregated Technical and Commercial) losses in high-outage areas.”

The transformation in North Nazimabad follows a series of similar upgrades carried out in areas such as Nusrat Bhutto Morh, Manghopir Road, and multiple sectors of North Karachi, including 5-C3, 5-C4, and 11-A—all of which were granted load-shedding relief after performance reviews in May.

The key to this shift lies in the implementation of a comprehensive technical solution, specifically designed to curb electricity theft, optimize network efficiency, and build consumer trust.

Residents in the area have expressed optimism, noting that consistent power supply is essential for daily life, especially in the summer months.

The move is part of KE’s broader initiative to promote responsible electricity usage and community engagement. KE has urged residents to ensure bill payment compliance and discourage illegal connections to maintain this status.
