In a statement, the KE said that it would “be undertaking a critical maintenance activity at Korangi South Grid on Saturday, January 13, 2024, to ensure the stability and reliability of power supply to consumers residing in these areas”.
It further said that the activity required a shutdown from 9am to 6pm for Korangi South Grid, during which there may be a temporary interruption of supply in areas connected to the grid station.
