CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
Ladies & Gentlemen:
It is my first opportunity to welcome you on
the occasion of 84th Annual General Meeting of
the Corporation I am pleased to present before
you the Directors Report, Annual Accounts to-
gether with the Auditors Report for the Financial
year 1995-96.
The year under report was marked by
frequent calls of strikes and resultant disturbances
creating problems of management and control.
Further continuous inflationary pressure and
consequent effect on the prices of consumable
store items, equipment and material needed in
connection with expansion programme of the
Corporation have increased the financial expen-
diture of the year under review. The single main
factor which contributed to an exhorbitant increase
in current expenditure are the increases in prices
of oil and gas.
Total installed capacity of the power stations
was 1,738 MW which had remained the same
as was in the previous year whilst the actual
capability in the year under re. view was 1,307 MW
as against 1,229 MW in the year 1994-95. The
Corporation met the maximum consumers
demand for Karachi region of 1,513 MW as against
1,442 MW in the year 1994-95. The overall system
peak demand was 1,513 MW as compared to
1,442 MW registered in the previous report year.
The operational activities during the year
under review with comparative figures of the last
year are summarized hereunder:-

review comes to 31.20% as against 31.37% for
the year 1994-95 shows marginal decrease over
previous year.
The reduction in T&D losses was possible
due to rigorous campaign against the culprits
involved in theft of electricity and removal of
Kundas. The continuous efforts of the Management
will further bring down the percentage of T&D
losses.
REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE
Total revenue of the financial year under
review shows an increase of Rs 3,648.496 million

increase in other income.
Total expenditure shows an increase of Rs.

depreciation and interest (4) increase in wage-
bill and (5) provision of Additional Depreciation
which was not made in the previous year report.

Project under ADB Loan (5th Power Sector
Loan)
Asian Development Bank (ADB) has pro-
vided a loan of USS 100 million for transmission
system expansion and rehabilitation.
Under the above project known as KESC
5th Power (Sector Loan) project, contracts for
overhead transmission lines, conventional grid
stations, GIS grid stations and underground
transmission lines have been awarded to M/s.
ICC, Pakistan, M/s Hyundai, Korea, M/s. Siemens,
Germany and M/s. China National Electric Wire
& Cables Import Export Corporation, China,
respectively.
These projects are expected to be completed
by June 1997 and would enhance transformation
capacity by about 900 MVA. The details of these
projects are given below:

grid stations. Work on the project is in
progress.
 · Expansion and rehabilitation of 6 Nos. of
underground transmission lines. Work on the
project is in progress.
Under the above project co-financing ar-
rangement of USS 100 million with EXlM Bank

Future Project (6th Power Project)
The full scope of work for transmission
system as per the studies carried out by the  
consultants could not be covered under ADB loan
of USS 100 million (5th Power Project). Moreover,
KESC requires a proper load dispatch centre
including SCADA facilities in order to monitor and
control high tension network. Therefore, to cover
the above works, another loan of USS 200 million
was finalized in October 1994 with ADB and USS
40 million from European investment Bank for load
dispatch centre with co-financing of USS 75 million
from EXlM Bank of Japan.
After the approval for appointment of Con-
sultants by KESC Board of Directors and ADB,
M/s. Lahmeyer International have been appointed
as Consultants for Sixth Power Project.
Following projects are covered under this
project:
1. Expansion and rehabilitation of GIS grid
station, (5 new + extension work in 6 existing
grid stations)
2. Expansion and rehabilitation of overhead
transmission lines (Circuit length: 220KV, 167
KM + 132 KV, 167 KM)
3. Expansion and rehabilitation of underground
transmission lines (Circuit length 220 KV, 
20 KM + 132 KV, 43 KM)
4. Expansion and rehabilitation of conventional
grid station (7 new + extension work in 7
existing grid stations).
The total increase in transformation capacity
would be as under:
Auto transformers: 1250 MVA + Power
transformers: 1160 MVA.
Contract for packages 2 i.e. overhead trans-
mission lines has been awarded to M/s. ICC (Pvt.)
Ltd. whereas bids for rest of the three packages
along with the bid of SCADA and LDC are under
evaluation.
The projects are expected to be completed
in 1998-99.
