The Ministry of Energy (Power Division) has categorically denied recent rumors about a change in electricity peak hours, confirming that the existing schedule remains fully intact.

On Saturday, the Power Division addressed widespread claims circulating on social media regarding an alleged revision in electricity peak hours. The ministry dismissed these reports as entirely baseless and misleading, reassuring consumers that there has been no change to the current timetable.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the Power Division stated, “Peak hours remain unchanged,” while labeling the circulating rumors as “fake news and actionable disinformation.” This clarification aims to curb the misinformation suggesting that morning hours would now be counted within the electricity peak hours bracket.
