0ho#,ht ?eadership Knowled,e 2ased ?earnin, >al#es Social @esponsibility

7#r key ,oal is to provide #ninterr#pted" reliable electric power at an affordable price to o#r cons#mers as it is o#r core priority. 5e also play a responsible role when it comes to ,ivin, back to o#r society" which we believe is developin, to its f#llest potential. 5e are devoted to developin, positive relationships amon,st o#r cons#mers" employees and stakeholders. ncreasin, employee morale and presentin, a more positive ima,e of KESC are all part of o#r ambitio#s five)year plan for the company. 0o make distrib#tion and c#stomer service more efficient" the cityAs electric network is divided into fo#r different re,ions" each of which is monitored by an independent centre. Employee development is another top priority for #s" and has therefore" led to the initiation of professional partnership pro,ram.

STRATE%IC PLANNIN%
Strategic plan with implementation mechanism was prepared for rehabilitation of out dated and dilapidated transmission and distribution network which has been under execution in a phased and prioritised manner.

$ n#mber of critically important pro/ects have been commissioned or are in the final sta,e of completion" which has improved network reliability and increased transmission B distrib#tion capacity. Establishment of a comp#teri'ed system for mana,ement of ,eneration" transmission and distrib#tion known as SC$6$ is bein, e.ec#ted as one of the prioriti'ed pro/ects. 0he commissionin, of this critically important pro/ect wo#ld si,nificantly improve efficiency of power system control B monitorin," facilitate timely operational decisions B economic dispatch of power and wo#ld minimise o#ta,es and technical losses. $#,mentation and e.pansion of o#tdated and fra,ile distrib#tion network has always been amon, the priority areas of the mana,ement in order to facilitate val#ed cons#mers of the Company by providin, #ninterr#pted s#pply of electricity. *inety ei,ht 11k> feeders have been commissioned and !&! PC0s have been installed B ener,ised. C#stomers are provided with one)widow service with the inception of nte,rated 2#siness Centre and a transparent comp#terised new connections sanctionin, proced#re has been introd#ced.

T&rnaro&n' Strategy
0he new owners" in partnership with KESC mana,ement and Siemens" have come #p with a three)tier t#rnaro#nd strate,yD 3i4 @estr#ct#re and develop the or,ani'ation to make the operation more c#stomer) foc#sed while improvin, collections and administrative losses. 0his will lead to better reven#e protection and cash)flow ,eneration" while enhancin, KESCEs mana,ement capabilities and increasin, c#stomer satisfaction. 3ii4 2alance" moderni'e" and replace the 0B6 network to be able to cater for peak capacity demand in the f#t#re and red#ce technical losses" which will lead to lower ener,y losses and hi,her billin, per #nits dispatched. 3iii4 ncrease and improve KESCEs ,eneration capacity to increase the reven#e base" diversify so#rces of power for KESC" lower the blended cost of ,eneration" and enhance the Karachi areaEs overall ,eneration capacity to cater for the increasin, demand.

Geographic Location of KESC Power Plants: Most of the generation capacity of KESC is located in east of the city. This adds an unnecessary transmission cost in moving this power to north, west and south of the city.

Distribution Problems: Now let us come to KESCs distri ution woes. The distri ution networ! is not only elow demand ut there is a huge factor of power theft also. This theft happens in three ways"

KESC clients, who already have connections, ypass the electricity meters. #ew years ago KESC was eing run y the $rmy and even they couldnt stop the power theft in spite of moving electricity meters of most of the city out on the streets. This was done to ensure the meters are not tempered with. %ndustrial clients who are illed according to a sanctioned load use igger grips to get more power
