In a significant development for power consumers in the region, the Hyderabad Electric Supply Company (HESCO) has officially declared the Doman Wah 11kV feeder free from loadshedding. This announcement marks a pivotal step towards providing reliable and continuous electricity to the area.
A Strategic Shift in Power Management
The decision, which took effect immediately, was confirmed by HESCO authorities on December 6, 2025. It represents a targeted effort to move away from the traditional, disruptive practice of scheduled power cuts for specific, well-performing distribution lines. The Doman Wah feeder has been identified as meeting the technical and operational criteria necessary to sustain an uninterrupted supply.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy by the power utility to enhance customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. By rewarding feeders with low losses and good recovery rates, HESCO aims to incentivize better bill payment practices and reduce technical losses across its network.
Implications for Consumers and the Grid
For the residents and businesses connected to the Doman Wah feeder, this declaration translates directly into improved quality of life and economic activity. Uninterrupted power means households can plan their daily routines without fear of unexpected blackouts, while commercial and industrial operations can run smoothly, boosting productivity.
However, HESCO has also issued a reminder that this privileged status is contingent on the continued cooperation of consumers. The utility has urged consumers to clear their outstanding dues promptly and use electricity responsibly. The company has warned that any significant deterioration in the feeder's performance, particularly a spike in power theft or non-payment of bills, could lead to the reinstatement of loadshedding on the line.
Future Plans and Broader Goals
The declaration for the Doman Wah feeder is not an isolated event. HESCO management has indicated that similar announcements for other qualifying feeders within its jurisdiction are under consideration. The goal is to progressively expand the zones of uninterrupted supply, transforming the overall power distribution landscape in Sindh.
This policy aligns with national objectives to reform the power sector, reduce circular debt, and improve service delivery. Success in this endeavor hinges on a collaborative partnership between the utility and its consumers. HESCO's move is seen as a confidence-building measure, demonstrating that consistent bill payment and lawful consumption can lead to tangible benefits.
The company has also reiterated its commitment to upgrading infrastructure and swiftly addressing faults to maintain the reliability of the loadshedding-free feeder. Consumers have been encouraged to report any issues through official channels to ensure quick resolution.
