Client:
K-Electric (KE)
From April 2022 to March 2023, PITCO, in collaboration with Fichtner GmbH & Co. KG, provided consultancy services for K-Electric’s Network Improvement Plan in Karachi, Pakistan. The project aimed to achieve excellence in K-Electric’s distribution network concerning safety, reliability, resilience, power quality, and loss reduction. The project involved developing a detailed review of the KE Network Improvement Plan, CAPEX considerations for the period 2024-2030, and preparing a business plan to be submitted for regulatory approval.
PITCO’s services included a comprehensive review of KE’s current distribution network design through desk research, field visits, and stakeholder meetings. PITCO analyzed existing specifications and SOPs to align with national and international standards, reviewed fixed asset management documentation, and evaluated technology interventions such as GIS, AMI/MDMS, SCADA/ADMS, and OMS/MWFM. Our team conducted a gap analysis, provided recommendations for each workstream, developed a business case with ROI, and prepared a deployment strategy. PITCO also assisted in presenting the roadmap to KE’s Board of Directors and the Regulatory Authority of Pakistan.
