INTERNSHIP REPORT ON MEPCO Genius makes its observations in short hand; talent writes them out at length. Christian Novell As mentioned by the above quotation observing and on site viewing are very firm base for learning. We learn a lot more by seeing theories, we read in books, applied practically by the pros and by seeing how they actually put them to work. If we over the significance of internship program then we will be able to bare the facts that internship enhance ones practical loom towards work and provide maximum chances for learning, which will obviously help out candidate in the practical fields. The intention about internship program is that the students can analyze, observe, feel, examine the organization environment and equip themselves with the tools to face the ever shifting challenges in the organizations. In short internship plays a pivotal role in the future sensation & stir of the candidate. This Report is specially meant for the student of M.com. It is concerned to a brief study of the operation, Function, tasks and services of MEPCO. The effective system at MEPCO was a piece of art and to see it in working process was a treat its elf. MEPCO has fine organizational structure and a well defined fully working effective system that helps and aids managers to do their jobs at best. Our know ledge was further enlightened when we had some of the lectures from the senior managers of MEPCO, they knew quite a lot about the organization and the subject and they left no stone unturned. In preparation of this Report is have tried my best to provide all Possible information about the operation, function and tasks of MEPCO in brief and comprehensive form. It also includes a brief department worked during internship. I have also tried my best to use simple and easy words and language. This report is an entire work of my first step of practical work about MEPCO operations & practices. In my view it is a credible and comprehensive compilation of facts. In this report I wrote principally on the issues pertaining to job duties & responsibilities, operatio ns & practices and its future prospects with some recommendations. When the time came to give this information a convenient shape I was confronted with a view of what to put in. One leeway was to include all details with explanation & second preference was to point out some worthy issues with some details. Last solution looked more practicable to me therefore I opt for second solution i.e. to present some relevant feasible details. These details entail information about management phil osophy, practices, and functions, strong and weak areas of MEPCO. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all who helped me in the preparation of this valuable report. Then internship report ends with some recommendation after identification o f some problems observed during the course of internship.

Spec c Purpose:
Specific purpose of the study includes.
A partial fulfillment as a requirement for the completion of M.Com degree. To objectively observe the operations of MEPCO in general and the operations of MEPCO in specific. To make recommendations or implementation plans for the improvement of the operations of MEPCO in the light of our professional studies.
Since October 2007, WAPDA has been bifurcated into two distinct entities i.e. WAPDA and Pakistan Electric Power Company (PEPCO). WAPDA is responsible for water and hydropower development whereas PEPCO is vested with the responsibility of thermal power generation, transmission, distribution and billing. There is an independent Chairman and MD (PEPCO) www.pepco.gov.pk replacing Chairman WAPDA and Member (Power) who were previously holding the additional charge s of these posts. WAPDA is now fully responsible for the development of Hydel Power and Water Sector Projects. PEPCO has been fully empowered and is responsible for the management of all the affairs of corporatized nine Distribution Companies (DISCOs), f our Generation Companies (GENCOs) and a National Transmission Dispatch Company (NTDC)and also in (IPPs). These companies are working under independent Board of Directors (Chairman and some Directors are from Private Sectors). The Companies are administratively autonomous and leading to financial autonomy by restructuring their balance sheets by bringing their equity position to at least 20 percent, required to meet the prudential regulations and to facilitate financing from commercial sector (approved by ECC). The Loan Liability Transfer Agreements (LLTA) has been signed with Corporate Entities and execution of loan transfer is complete. All Entities have the physical possessions of all their operational assets. On 24th Feb. 2007 Ministry of Water & Po wer notified NEPR Approved Tariff for all Distribution Companies replacing unified WAPDA Tariff. Legal Agreements such as Business Transfer Agreements, Operation Development Agreement, Energy Supply Agreement, Business Supplementary Agreement and Fuel Supply Agreement etc. were executed between WAPDA and Corporate Entities to facilitate commercial operations. Regulatory instruments like Grid Code, Distribution Codes, Performance Standard for Distribution Companies and Transmission Companies were drafted and got approved from (www.nepra.org.pk) in 2007.
All major lenders gave their consent for transfer of their loan from WAPDA to Corporate Entities, thus 326 loan assumption agreements were signed amongst respective Companies, WAPDA and EAD (Economic Affairs Division) GOP. CPPA is established under the coverage of NTDC for payments from DISCOs to IPPs, GENCOs and NTDC. Ultimately, it will function independently under Federal Govt. and all forthcoming IPPs will be under CPPA.
PEPCO
The Pakistan Electric Power Company (Private) Limited (PEPCO) has been entrusted the task of managing the transition of WAPDA from a bureaucratic structure to a corporate, commercially viable and productive entity. It is a mammoth task and progress in the initial months was rather slow, but one should keep in mind that responsibility is enormous and transition is a long drawn process. Before going into further details of the restructuring program, it is necessary to understand the shift in the GOP policy. The GOP, in line with its Strategic Plan of 1992 approved by the cabinet committee, in its MEPCO decided into three regions (GENCOS, IPPs, and NTDC) and to restructure the entire power sector in the country De-regulation of power sector Promotion of IPPs Restructuring of WAPDA Privatization of select corporate entities

The tool selected for the analysis of organization is SWOT analysis.
47
It is the moral and professional duty of the directors, managers and executives to overcome the weakness and convert them into strengths, and get maximum benefits and opportunity from the prevailing resources.
STRENGTHS:
The MEPCO top management is the combination of both experience and young energetic
professionals which are proving to be the real strengt h of MEPCO.
MEPCO website provides every information about MEPCO to the customers and
investors.
MEPCO has equipped with the latest technology. MEPCO has good relation with different departments. The MEPCO employees are locally so, the turnover rate is low . The MEPCO has efficient internal audit department, which keep check and balance. The MEPCO has experienced of strategic apex and managerial skilled staff. Full support from Federal Government
48
WEAKNESSES:
The administrative cost of the company is very high due to which the profitability of the
company decreases.
There is still improvement of technology in the MEPCO like in computers. There customer service are not up to mark they have to improve the customer services
wastage.
OPPURTUNITIES:
The MEPCO is situated in the region where the customers are large in quantity and other
competitors.
Research and development in power generation equipment Natural resources to increase water resources and cheaper power There are rapid changes in technology of power generation and to coup with it ministry
will have to be planning for the future plans keeping in mind the changes
New power projects have the bargaining power for higher prices keeping in view the
49
THREATS:
One major threat to the MEPCO is increasing number of customers day by day. Due to fluctuation occur in the supply is permanent threat to the MEPCO. There is always a threat the government may impose some duties on the MEPCO. Another threat to the MEPCO is change in day by day technology. Withdrawal of support from suppliers. Curtailment of budget. Obsolescence of strategic equipment There is not a long list of suppliers in power sector and the suppliers enjoy
monopoly to some extent and they can charge higher and delay supplies as there is long waiting lists for equipment supplies
50
LIMI TATI ON S
No proper arrangement for electricity they have dames and generators but they are not
cooperative behavior.
They have provided me knowledge about MEPCO but not according to the requirement
O SERVATI ONS
I have observers that there is need of improvement in the MEPCO Departments working
employees of MEPCO.
I also observed one thing that Departments and sections not obey the Audit Committees
51
SUGGESTI ON
The following are some suggestions about the MEPCO.
Management should try creating more understanding between different departments to
decisions according to the situation at any time and in the absence of the top manager.
A proper training should be given to the employees and the workers to enhance their
defined.
The computer technology should also be used in decision making as well as in storing
CONCLUSION
I got a lot of experience in MEPCO. During my internship I come to know that the different units are working under one umbrella. I have noticed that they are getting the benefits by minimizing different costs which earlier they were paying due to lack of technology of computer. The MEPCO has latest technology for its services and they are serving the local market very well. MEPCO has open door policy for all tackle all problems upfront. And May be The Import Electricity Ships decrease load shedding. If Govt. examines the Audit committees then wastage should be decrease. Merit, justice, fair play be the hallmark Transparency in all fields Accountability of everyone.
