Sample Schedule Table
Once you’ve retrieved your feeder’s schedule, it typically looks like this (your actual schedule may vary):
| 1 | 08:00–10:00 | 14:00–16:00 |
| 2 | 10:00–12:00 | 16:00–18:00 |
| 3 | 09:00–11:00 | 13:00–15:00 |
| … | … | … |
| 31 | 11:00–13:00 | 17:00–19:00 |
How to fill this in:
Copy the table from the portal or app for your feeder/grid.
Format as columns: Date, Time Block 1, Time Block 2, and more if needed.
Add a header (month, feeder number/name) for reference.
Example: Feeder FDR‑1234 (Vehari)
Here’s a mock‑up example based on a typical MEPCO feeder (for illustration only):
| July 1 | OFF | ON (not off) |
| July 2 | ON | OFF |
| July 3 | OFF | ON |
| … | … | … |
| July 31 | ON | OFF |
“OFF” = scheduled load‑shedding during that block.
You can add more columns if your feeder has more than two daily blocks.
Next Steps for Your Area
Find your feeder/grid info — check your electricity bill for the feeder code (e.g., FDR-1234) and grid station name.
Visit the portal or website described above (no login required for CCMS).
Enter your details, then copy/export the schedule for the full month.
Fill in the table template as shown above. You can use Excel or a Word table.
Tips & Working Around Power Cuts
Download or screenshot the schedule for offline access.
Set reminders before each “OFF” time block.
Use power banks, UPS, or solar backups during those periods.
Stay updated on last-minute changes via the same portals or helpline: 0800‑63726.
Summary
MEPCO publishes feeder-based monthly schedules online and via app.
Use the CCMS portal or MEPCO’s site to get a precise timetable.

MEPCO Power Distribution Structure (2025–2026)
1. MEPCO’s Service Footprint
MEPCO (Multan Electric Power Company) is the largest power distribution company in Pakistan, serving 13–17 districts across southern Punjab, including Multan, Muzaffargarh, Dera Ghazi Khan, Bahawalpur, Rahim Yar Khan, Sahiwal, Khanewal, Pakpattan, Vehari, and Bahawalnagar.
It manages a vast network comprising over 82,132 km of lines, 786 grid stations, and 672 feeders.
2. Hierarchical Structure: Circles → Divisions → Subdivisions
MEPCO organizes its operations in a three-tier structure to streamline service delivery:
9 Circles
38 Divisions
181 Subdivisions
Each level corresponds to progressively smaller administrative and operational areas, enabling more targeted service and complaint handling.
Examples of Circles and Divisions:
Multan Circle
Divisions: City, Cantt, S. R. Alam, Makhdoomabad, Shujabad, Musapak
Rahim Yar Khan Circle
Divisions: Rahim Yar Khan, Khanpur, Sadiqabad, Liaqatpur
Bahawalpur Circle
Divisions: Bahawalpur, Lodhran, Ahmedpur East, Model Town, Hasilpur
Bahawalnagar Circle
Divisions: Bahawalnagar, Haroonabad, Chishtian
Vehari Circle, Sahiwal Circle, and Khanewal Circle each have their respective divisions and subdivisions too
This structure ensures that each consumer area knows its proper contact point, especially when dealing with load-shedding schedules, complaints, or connections.
3. Feeder-Level Load‑Shedding Breakdown
Load-shedding in MEPCO is not uniform; it depends on feeder categories, which are determined by factors like bill recovery rates and losses/theft levels:
Category A Feeders:
Minimal load‑shedding
High bill recovery, low theft
Category B Feeders:
Moderate load‑shedding (typically 2–4 hours per day)
Category C Feeders:
Extensive load‑shedding (more than 8 hours per day)
Often located in rural areas with lower recovery rates
4. Planned Shutdowns & Maintenance (Example: May 2025)
MEPCO also conducts scheduled shutdowns for maintenance and infrastructure improvements. For instance, in May 2025, certain feeders in the Musa Pak division (subdivision families like H/Abad, S. R. Alam) experienced controlled outages between 7 am and 11 am on specified dates (e.g., May 3, 4, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18) This kind of scheduling helps minimize disruptions and plan infrastructure work efficiently.
5. How Consumers Can Stay Informed (2025–2026)
Consumers can track load‑shedding via multiple channels:
