It happened after power grids were turned on in the morning, the power minister said.
Pakistan suffered a huge power cut early on Monday following a breakdown in its national electricity grid, the energy ministry said.
Power minister Khurrum Dastagir said the grid failure followed a "frequency variation" in southern Pakistan.In a statement. the energy ministry said that at about 07:30 local time the grid "experienced a loss of frequency, that caused a major breakdown", adding that "swift work" was taking place to revive the system.
"In winter, the demand for electricity reduces nationwide, hence, as an economic measure, we temporarily close down our power generation systems at night," he said. Earlier this month the government ordered shopping centres and markets to close early every day to save money on power.
