Pakistan : Second Power Distribution Enhancement Investment Program - Tranche 1
The investment program's objective is to introduce advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) in Pakistan's different distribution companies (DISCOs) using MFF. There are nine DISCOs in Pakistan and the AMI roll-out to these DISCOs will be in phases. In the first phase (tranche 1), two of LESCO's circles and IESCO's Rawalpindi region have been selected for AMI roll-out. Once developed, the same will be replicated and implemented in the remaining technically and commercially feasible regions or circles of the nine DISCOs.
