Loadshedding Hits Telcos As Ufone Announces Nationwide Service Disruptions

Ufone users across Pakistan may face service interruptions as prolonged electricity loadshedding continues to disrupt telecom operations nationwide.

In a statement,Ufone said extended and frequent power outages, in many areas lasting eight hours or more, are severely affecting its ability to maintain uninterrupted mobile services.

The company explained that most telecom infrastructure relies on backup battery systems installed at cellular sites to keep networks operational during power failures. However, these battery banks require at least three to four hours of continuous electricity supply to recharge fully.

Ufone said the ongoing pattern of repeated outages is preventing batteries from completing their charging cycles which is reducing thee overall backup power capacity and leading to network instability in several regions.

The operator added that normal service levels are expected to resume once electricity supply becomes stable and load shedding pressures ease.

    • جو ٹاورز بلڈنگ اور ٹینکیوں پر انسٹال ہیں ان کا کیا کیا جائے گا۔ وہاں تو سولر انسٹال نہیں کیا جا سکتا۔ اور جن ٹاور سائٹس کے ارد گرد مکان اونچے بنے ہوئے ہیں جہاں دھوپ نہیں پہنچتی وہاں پر سولر کس طرح کام کرے گا؟

  • It is unfortunate that despite so many large-scale projects and extensive planning, Pakistan is still struggling with electricity issues. Power outages continue, load shedding persists, and electricity supply remains unstable.

    In today’s era of AI and rapid technological advancement, it is surprising that we are still facing such basic problems. The world has moved forward with innovation and modern solutions, yet we remain stuck dealing with unreliable power.

    Electricity is a fundamental necessity. Without it, businesses suffer, daily life is disrupted, and essential services like telecommunications are affected, which are critical for both business and emergencies.

    The government must make resolving the electricity crisis its top priority, as no development can truly succeed without a stable and reliable power system
