Description
The proposed investment program's objective is to introduce advanced metering infrastructure
(AMI) in Pakistan's different distribution companies (DISCOs). An MFF is proposed for this
investment. There are nine DISCOs in Pakistan and the AMI roll-out to these DISCOs will be in
phases. In the first phase (tranche 1), two of LESCO's circles and IESCO's Rawalpindi region have
been selected for AMI roll-out. Once developed, the same will be replicated and implemented in the
remaining technically and commercially feasible regions or circles of the nine DISCOs.
Project Rationale and Linkage
to Country/Regional Strategy
AMI aims at: (i) reducing distribution losses and improving revenue collection, (ii) enhancing load
control and load management, (iii) providing automated consumption data collection of all
customers, and (iv) modernizing the electricity metering and billing system. The investment
program will provide funds for metering, communication and billing systems including installation
and supporting infrastructure.
Impact
Financial viability of the power distribution system improved (project-defined).
