INTRODUCTION
History
WAPDA
The electricity supply service in Pakistan, initially, was undertaken by different agencies, both in
public and private sectors, in different areas. In order to provide for the unified and coordinated
development of the water and power resources, Water and Power Development Authority
(WAPDA) was created in 1958 through WAPDA Act, 1958.
The local areas electricity distribution service was being performed by various Regions of
WAPDA. Then the Area Electricity Board (AEB) Lahore, on the eight AEBs in Pakistan, was
established under the scheme of Area Electricity Boards in 1982, in order to provide more
autonomy and representation to provincial government, elected representatives, industrialists,
agriculturalists and other interest groups in functions of the AEBs.
LESCO
The environment and structure of the power industry throughout the world are undergoing
dramatic change. The power sector is moving from monopoly to privatization and from
integration to disintegration. To keep pace with this change, the Government of Pakistan
approved a Strategic Plan in 1994 as a consequence of which the power wing of WAPDA has
been unbundled into 12 Companies for generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.
Lahore Area Electricity Board was reorganized into one such corporatized entity under the name
of Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) with effect from 22-03-1998, with the aim of
commercialization and eventually privatization.
Area of Operation
LESCO's area of responsibility covers Civil Districts of Lahore, Kasur, Okara and Sheikhupura.

PROBLEM DEFINITION
How LESCO can face the electricity
crisis
Research Report
THEORATICAL FRAMEWORK
A
fter observing above problems we interpret
that due to load shedding we are facing
food crisis as most of the flour factories are
closed, low wages and high turnover of employees
as the profit rate is low because factories are
working inefficiently due to electricity problem
and this result in shutdown of factories 30-40%,
due to unannounced schedule public is showing
aggressive attitude towards LESCO, cost of
production is increased and economy is facing
inflation.
