Rolling blackouts ( also called load shedding ) are intentionally engineered electrical power outages, used to distribute insufficient power when the demand for electricity exceeds the supply.

Rolling blackouts are a last-resort measure used by an electric utility company to avoid a total blackout of the power system.

Rolling blackouts may be localised to a specific part of the electricity network or may be more widespread and affect entire countries and continents.

Rolling blackouts generally result from two causes: insufficient generation capacity or inadequate transmission infrastructure to deliver sufficient power to the area where it is needed.

Rolling blackouts are a common or even a normal daily event in many developing countries where electricity generation capacity is underfunded or infrastructure is poorly managed.

Rolling blackouts in developed countries are rare because demand is accurately forecasted, adequate infrastructure investment is scheduled and networks are well managed ; such events are considered an unacceptable failure of planning and can cause significant political damage to responsible governments.

Rolling blackouts began nation-wide in Pakistan in early 2008 and continue presently in June 2012.

Rolling blackouts were again imposed in late August 2005 in Southern California due to the loss of a key transmission line ; the transmission line shut itself off because of a faulty sensor.
