The power suspension program by Islamabad Electric Supply Company will cause temporary inconvenience to consumers in Pakistan — Islamabad, Pakistan — Rawalpindi, Pakistan — Jhelum, Pakistan — Attock, and Pakistan — Chakwal, potentially affecting local businesses and daily operations. However, the impact on broader financial markets is expected to be minimal as these are routine maintenance outages.

These suspensions are scheduled for multiple dates in April 2026, primarily due to necessary maintenance and routine development work on the electricity infrastructure, including grid stations and transmission lines.
