PESHAWAR: All possible efforts are being made to reduce line losses and increase recovery of outstanding dues from consumers, Peshawar Electric Supply Company (Pesco) Chief Executive Tariq Sadozai said on Friday.
“We will make Pesco a profitable entity once again,” Sadozai said during the Board of Directors (BoD) meeting held at the Wapda House. He also briefed participants about the current power crisis and the procedure of carrying out load-shedding, adding redressal of consumer complaints at their doorstep is their top priority.
Citing the annual closure of canals for maintenance as a reason behind the upsurge in power outages, Sadozai said, “Load-shedding of four to eight hours is being carried out in areas where illegal use of electricity is minimum and the distribution system is good, and 8-16 hours in areas where the distribution system is old and electricity is used illegally.”
The Pesco chief vowed every step is being taken to minimise load-shedding, adding the public can play an important role by avoiding extra and illegal use of electricity. He said saving one unit of electricity is equal to the generation of one unit of electricity.
Board members pledged to employ all their efforts to bring Pesco out of its current financial crisis and urged to expedite the campaign against illegal use of electricity.
The board also approved the purchase of Fork Lifters for the organisation and approved a number of managerial and administrative matters on the agenda.
