So, What’s Going On?
Honestly, this is just one of those WhatsApp rumors. Someone spreads it… people get panic… and boom! It goes viral in seconds. So, some folks do it just to get attention online.
But the problem is, it creates confusion for everyone. People start changing their habits for no reason. What Did the Power Division Actually Say?
Let’s go straight to the source. On July 12, 2025, at exactly 9:43 PM, the Power Division posted on their official Twitter/X account. And here’s what they said:
“There is no change in policy. Peak hours are only in the evening and night. Morning hours are not added.”
Simple, clear, and direct, so take off any worries….. So now you know this whole “morning is peak time” thing is just a rumor.
Alright, Then What Are Peak Hours?
Good question!
Peak hours are the time of day when most people use electricity. Think about it, the sun goes down, people come home, and things start to switch on as the Family time begins, and believe me, it is the prime time of the day.
Lights, fans, air conditioners, TVs, kitchen appliances everything comes alive in the evening! And because of this heavy usage, the demand on the power system goes up. To handle this demand, power companies even turn on extra power plants, sometimes the expensive ones (very damaging to the economy).
That’s why this time is called the “peak” hour. It’s when the system is working at its maximum load.
PESCO Peak Hour Timings for 2025
Let’s break it down season-wise for you:
| Months | Season | Start Time | End Time |
| December to February | Sarma (Winter) | 5:00 PM | 9:00 PM |
| March to May | Bahar (Spring) | 6:00 PM | 10:00 PM |
| June to August | Garma (Summer) | 7:00 PM | 11:00 PM |
| September to November | Khizaan (Autumn) | 6:00 PM | 10:00 PM |
Now look closely at the table…
No morning hours in sight in any season or month.
The peak time is still a 4-hour window in the evening and night in any season or month.
Why This Rumor Hurts Everyone
Let’s be real, fake news like this creates stress. People might stop using fans or geysers in the morning. They might change their daily routine, thinking electricity will cost more.
But the truth is: Nothing has changed.
The government also said they’re thinking of taking legal action against those who spread false updates like this.
Here’s What You Should Do
Always, and I mean always, check official sources before believing or sharing any electricity-related news. Trust these sources for any kind of information about PESCO electricity or updates:
- PESCO Official Website
- WAPDA’s social media
- Ministry of Energy, Pakistan
- Don’t rely on random TikTok videos or forwarded messages.
In a Nutshell:
- Peak hours = evening + night only
- Morning = normal time, not peak (NO peak hours at all in any season)
- The 4-hour peak slot is still the same as before
- Don’t believe or spread fake news
