PITCO, along with International Resources Group (IRG), undertook the GIS mapping of Sukkur Electric Power Company’s (SEPCO) distribution network from October 2010 to September 2015 under the USAID-funded Power Distribution Program. The project aimed to create a geometric network for asset management and load flow analysis, covering more than 6,500 kilometers of 11 kV HT and 0.415 kV LT lines and 13,083 transformers. The pole-to-pole mapping included recording all assets on the network, such as substations, distribution transformers, conductors, poles, and service connections, to facilitate effective decision-making.

The GIS survey involved identifying all consumers and their service connections, followed by preparing a GIS base map and digitizing electrical network assets. The data was processed and exported to load flow analysis software, enabling the segregation of technical and non-technical losses. The project also involved developing HT and LT feeder rehabilitation proposals to reduce technical losses. GIS-based applications were developed to demonstrate various solutions in the power distribution sector, including distribution network setup, load management, customer information, asset management,

From October 2010 to April 2011, PITCO, in collaboration with International Resources Group (IRG), performed an operational audit of SEPCO under the USAID-funded Power Distribution Program. The audit aimed to improve SEPCO’s financial, commercial, and technical standing by identifying performance gaps and recommending strategic interventions. The project covered multiple locations within Pakistan, including Sukkur, Ghotki, Khairpur, Kashmore, Jacobabad, Shikarpur, Larkana, Kamber/Shahdadkot, and Dadu. The audit was part of a broader effort to enhance the performance of government-owned electric power distribution companies (DISCOs).

The audit process involved evaluating SEPCO’s governance structures, organizational design, and operational practices. Our team analyzed system maps, planning procedures, procurement methods, and construction standards to identify areas for improvement. PITCO also assessed financial management systems, revenue cycle practices, and human resource management frameworks. The audit identified key areas for improvement and provided recommendations for enhancing operational efficiency, customer service, and financial performance. The comprehensive findings aimed to support SEPCO in achieving long-term financial sustainability, reducing technical and non-technical losses, and improving service quality.
