The Pakistan Electric Power Company (Pepco) is working on the concept of creating a 'synergic effect' through the collaboration of all the related organisations and departments of the power sector, in order to ensure maximum possible electricity generation for reducing load management duration.

Based on this concept, said a statement, the Pepco has established a pragmatic and swift liaison system with the Ministry of Water & Power, Wapda, PSO, Nepra, Nespak, KESC, Ministry of Petroleum, Provincial Governments, Discos, NPCC, AEDB, PPIB, financial institutions and Enercon. AEDB and PPIB are consulted on regular basis for new power projects.

Pepco has signed fuel supply accord with PSO for fulfilling the furnace oil and HSD requirements for all of its subsidiaries and power plants. This agreement will enable PSO streamline its supply chain activities for the timely provision of oil, for electricity generation. Pepco is also contemplating for upgrading its distribution network through the technical collaboration with Nespak and other engineering organisations, for ensuring smooth power supply.

The overall electricity consumption in domestic areas is 44 percent, commercial 6 percent, industrial 24 percent, agriculture 12 percent, and bulk supply 14 percent for over 18 million consumers. Peak electricity demand has been recorded up to about 11500 MW in the recent days. Out of these projects, a number of rental power plants have also been approved for installation, in the country.

As per the load situation, the total electricity demand went up to 11510 MW while a deficit of 3020 MW was managed on 15 January 2010. Electricity export to KESC was 690 MW ON 15 January 2010.
