From October 2010 to September 2015, PITCO, in collaboration with International Resources Group (IRG), conducted an operational audit for LESCO under the USAID-funded Power Distribution Program. The audit aimed to improve LESCO’s financial, commercial, and technical standing by evaluating performance across various domains, including governance, operational, financial, human resources, communications, and customer service. The project covered multiple locations within Pakistan, including Lahore, Okara, Sheikhupura, Kasur, and Nankana.
The audit process involved evaluating Transmission and Distribution (T&D) losses, with the sample including 10 substations, 52 feeders, and 748 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.
