K-Electric on Sunday evening reported that "most parts of Karachi have been energised" following a major power break down in the country the night before.
According to a statement by the spokesperson of the power utility, the breakdown "cascaded onto the K-Electric network and affected Karachi’s power supply as well".
"Since 12am last night, KE teams have been working to restore power rapidly to affected parts," the spokesperson said.
The statement said that KE’s transmission and distribution networks were "swiftly restored" along with generation from K-Electric’s Bin Qasim power plant and IPPs.
"By late evening, supplies from the National Grid were also resumed through existing interconnection points with K-Electric," it added.
KE has encouraged customers to report any individual complaints at its 118 call centre "so that KE achieves its vision of bringing Karachi to a power surplus situation by the year 2022".

In a statement on Twitter, KE said that only a "few residential areas" remain where power restoration efforts are underway.
