MULTAN:Multan Electric Power Company (MEPCO) has issued load management schedule by keeping in view the difference in supply and demand of electricity for the convenience and awareness of consumers.
The electricity load-shedding schedule on feeders was prepared as per ratio of line losses under the directions of ministry of power.
Out of 1697 feeders of MEPCO, 1356 feeders supply electricity to domestic and commercial consumers.
