>Demand raises significantly between 5 p.m. and 1 a.m., due in part to reduced hydropower generation, the government said in a statement on Wednesday. Potential gaps would have to be met through fossil fuels that have become more expensive after the Iran war disrupted flows plunging the region into an energy crisis.

Submission statement:
Pakistan plans to implement scheduled evening power cuts of about two hours to manage rising electricity costs amid an energy crisis worsened by disruptions from the Iran war. Demand spikes in the evening, while supply is constrained due to lower hydropower and more expensive fossil fuels. By rationing electricity instead of raising prices, the government aims to keep power affordable for households while avoiding unplanned outages.
