Pakistan : Second Power Distribution Enhancement Investment Program
The investment program aims to improve the financial viability of Pakistan's power distribution sector. By introducing advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) to power distribution companies (DISCOs) throughout Pakistan, the investment program would (i) reduce power distribution losses, and improve revenue collection; (ii) reduce power outages by enhancing load control and load management; (iii) provide automated power consumption data; (iv) modernize the electricity metering and billing system; and (v) improve customer services by installation of customer information system. The rollout of the AMI across various DISCOs will be in phases via tranches through a multi-tranche financing facility (MFF).
