PITCO, as the primary subcontractor to International Resources Group (IRG), conducted an operational audit for IESCO from October 2010 to September 2015 under the USAID-funded Power Distribution Program. The audit aimed to establish baseline information for measuring performance improvement over time across various domains, including governance, operational, financial, human resources, communications, and customer service. The project covered multiple locations within Islamabad and areas from Attock to Jhelum, Pakistan.
The audit involved evaluating Transmission and Distribution (T&D) losses, with the sample including 7 substations, 34 feeders, and 878 transformers. Our team performed GIS mapping and load flow analysis using SynerGEE software to calculate technical losses. PITCO conducted HT and LT load flow analysis to segregate technical and non-technical losses and developed HT and LT feeder rehabilitation proposals. The audit identified reasons for line losses and provided recommendations for improving transmission issues, distribution system management, and segregation of system losses, aiming to enhance overall operational efficiency and performance.
