Conversion of certain interest bearing GOP loans and debt servicing liabilities of KESC into equity is under
consideration at the level of Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet. The proposed debt equity swap as
above would not only reduce the financial charges of the Company but would also improve debt equity ratio. To increase
the authorized capital is necessary to accommodate conversion of debt into equity as above as the existing authorized
capital of KESC viz. Rs.10 billion is not sufficient for the purpose.
The Directors have no interest in the Special Business as narrated, herein-above.
CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
Gentlemen,
Once again it is my privilege to welcome you to the 90th Annual General Meeting of your Corporation
and to present before you the Directors' Report and  Annual Accounts together with the Auditors Report
for the year 1999-2000.
As you know the KESC was facing unprecedented financial crisis owing to inefficient
utility operations, power theft, reduced billing and collection and non-payment of arrears. The Pak Army
took control of the KESC management on full scale in May 1999 and the task given to the new management
was to improve administration, reduce transmission and distribution losses and level of receivables. The
management of the KESC is taking every possible step to improve performance of this utility.
The operational as well as administrative and financial affairs of the KESC continue to show signs
of significant improvements. However, several factors beyond the management's control, particularly heavy
increase in price of furnace oil, inadequate tariff increase and huge financial charges on short term
and long term borrowings, have achievements financially invisible.
OPERATIONAL RESULTS
The installed capacity of KESC's generating stations for the year 1999-2000 was 1,756 MW while
the actual capability was 1,362 MW. The maximum demand for KESC licensed area for the year under
report was 1,855 MW. The operational activities of the Corporation are as under:
Description 1999-2000 1998-99 Percentage
MWH MWH inc./(dec.)
1. Units generated (KESC) 7,745,011 6,613,291 17.10%
2. Units sentout (KESC) 7,232,999 6,143,405 17.70%
3. Units purchased 3,701,201 4,006,949 (7.6%)
4. Total available for sale 10,934,200 10,150,355 7.70%
5. Units billed 6,429,809 6,130,549 4.90%
Out of total generation of 7,745 Gwh in 1999-2000 Bin Qasim thermal power station generated
6,112 Gwh or 78.9%. The total generation increased by 17.1% over previous year due to restoration of
plant capacity and smooth supply of furnace oil.
TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION LOSSES
The transmission and distribution losses for the year under report work out to be 40.2% as against
38.6% during last year. The losses are however continuously showing a downward trend after June,
2000 and the average T&D losses are expected to range between 32-35%. The past tendency of excess
billing to cover theft of electricity was discouraged with a view to ascertain more realistic figures of T&D
losses. The management initiated, several measures to improve collections and reduce the system losses.
The tasks accomplished during the year under review are as follows:
Numbers of 13,519 premises checked and a recovery of a sum of over Rs. 2.7 billion
effected from various defaulters.
A total number of 1,177 raids conducted against premises involved in the theft that
included 772 industrial and 405 ordinary consumers or premises. FIRs against 62
consumers registered and supplementary bill amounting to Rs. 275.97 million against 1,115
consumers rose accordingly.
A total number of 1,556 units of different magnitude checked under the load survey of
the industry. However, the associations of various industrial zones promised to declare
their actual load voluntarily.
During operations "Snake Hunt" Implementation Wing of the KESC remained involved
in kunda removal operation from July 1999 to March 2000. During this period 102,941 kundas removed in
coordination with the concerned division or; zone. Also, 90,717 meters installed by different zones in
their area of responsibility.
The reductions in T&D losses considered under the MOU signed with Asian Development Bank
are as under:
2000-2001 6.60%
2001-2002 7.00%
2002-2003 6.00%
Army has been deployed in various centers of the KESC to check the theft. The faulty meters are
being replaced in phases. Survey is being conducted to determine sanctioned load and actual
consumption of the industrial, commercial and large residential consumers. Kundas/Hooks and illegal
connections are being removed. The preliminary results show that the consumption perconsumer has
reduced in recent years which reveals that there is pilferage in almost each category of consumers.
However, the actual theft can determine after ascertaining the quantum of excess billing done in
the past years. When tendency of excess billing checked, it resulted the T&D losses jumping to 48.5%
in March 2000 and 44% in April 2000. The KESC has achieved significant success in its efforts to reduce
the annual losses to the desired level as per the MOU with corrective measures. The actual results for the
last five months clearly indicate the downward trend of the T&D losses.
July 2000 44.50%
August 2000 40.20%
September 2000  36.20%
October 2000  35.50%
November 2000  32.40%
REVENUE & EXPENDITURE
The financial year under review indicates an increase of Rs. 2,261 million in total revenue and
increase of Rs. 7,683 million in expenditure over the previous year as summarized below:
DESCRIPTION
Income:
- Revenue from sale of energy 25,035 23,285 7.50%
- Other income 1,007 496 103.00%
------------ ------------ ------------
26,042 23,781 9.50%

Expenditure:
- Cost of fuel & power purchased 26,118 20,713 26.10%
- Depreciation 2,821 2,726 3.50%
- Interest 5,461 3,042 80.20%
- Prov for doubtful debts 1,094 1,213 (9.8%)
-Other, expenses 3,315 3,452 (4.0%)
------------ ------------ ------------
38,829 31,146 24.70%
------------ ------------ ------------
Profit/(Loss) before tax (12,787) (7,364) (73.6%)
========== ========== ==========
The increase in revenue over previous year is mainly as a result of increase in units billed by 4.9%
and increase in other incomes by 103%.The financial position of the KESC, however, kept on deteriorating
on account of increase in price of furnace oil from Rs. 5,500 per metric ton in April 1999 to Rs. 11,132 per
metric ton on May 5, 2000 i.e. 102.4% increase during the year under review. The increases in fuel
prices have enhanced the cost of fuel and power purchased considerably. Besides, heavy payment of
mark up on short term and long term loans and exchange rate have made the things worst.
The other cost that includes salaries, wages and other operational and maintenance expenses
and provisions, etc. decreased by 4% during the year under report over the actual expenses of last year,
despite normal escalation. The reduction has been made in payment of overtime, transport, medical,
telephone and other expenses through remedial measures.
The shortfall of KESC is estimated at Rs. 61.9 billion by the end of FY 2003. According to the
financing plan submitted by the Ministry of Finance to ADB, the said shortfall is to be met through debt
equity swap, conversion of overdue fuel and power purchase liabilities into interest free long term loan,
energy sector restructuring loan from ADB and balance through budget financing from GOP
including tariff increase.
CONSUMERS SERVICES
The KESC installed 22,637 new connections during the year under report as against 31,266 for the
corresponding period of last year. A total of 165,690 consumers brought on the billing panel during 1999-2000.
ON GOING PROJECTS
SUBSTITUTION OF FURNACE OIL WITH GAS AT
BQPS
The furnace oil price is very much higher than the prices of natural gas. As such efforts are being
made to use natural gas as a substitute to reduce the input cost.
The KESC has already carried out technical measures to enable four units of Bin Qasim plant to
operate on gas. The conversion of the remaining two units is also expected shortly. Arrangements are also
being made for supply of gas in the required quantities by the Sui Southern Gas Co.
Bin Qasim Thermal Power Station Unit-6
210 MW Bin Qasim thermal power station extension unit-6 and it's allied 220 kV double circuit
transmission lines and Korangi west grid station remained under commercial operation during the
year under review. The issuance of final acceptance certificate is under process.
KESC 5TH POWER (SECTOR LOAN) PROJECT
(GIS GRID STATIONS)
220kV Queens Road (Lalazar) GIS Grid Station with 2x250 MVA, 220/132kV transformation
capacity alongwith related 220kV and 132kV underground cables and GIS line bays at Korangi
West Grid Station have been completed, tested and commissioned.
The power is now pumped to 220kV Queens Road (Lalazar) Grid Station from BQPS on 220kV
transmission line instead from KTPS on 132kV voltage. There is an improvement in system stability
and voltage in the area.
With the commissioning of the 220kV Lalazar  Grid Stations, all works under 5th Power Project now
stand completed.
KESC 6TH POWER (SECTOR LOAN) PROJECT
(O/H TRANS. LINES)
Erection work is continuing for overhead transmission lines. 132kV double circuit transmission
lines for Korangi East Grid Station completed and commissioned. Erection of 132kV transmission line
between Valika and North Nazimabad Grid Stations also completed and energized. Erection work for
other lines is in progress. Overall 75% work completed.
DEPARTMENTAL WORKS (CONVENTIONAL
GRID STATIONS)
Following Grid Station expansion work carried out departmentally:
i) Installation, testing and commissioning of complete transformer bay at Gulshan Grid
Station with 26 MVA, 132/11 kV transformer.
ii) Installation, testing and commissioning of complete transformer bay at North Karachi Grid
Station with 132/11 kV, 26 MVA transformer.
iii) Installation, testing and commissioning of 132/11kV, 30 MVA transformer at Elander Road
Grid Station.
iv) Establishment of a new 132/11 kV, 40 MVA Grid Station at Gulistan-e-Jauhar.
v) Establishment of a new 132/11 kV, 30 MVA Grid Station at Korangi East.
CONCLUSION
As I pointed out in my last year's review the Army took control of the KESC management at a
time when the existing system was nearing collapse. Since it was not possible to attend to all the problems
simultaneously, the essential areas identified and priorities fixed. Immediate relief provided to the
consumers through adequate power supply, quick service connections and improved complaint centers.
The work is going on extensively for further reduction in transmission and distribution losses, recovery of
outstanding energy dues, restoration of generation capacity of all the units, substitution of furnace oil
with natural gas at BQPS, reduction in development and non-development expenditure, institution of rules
and regulations, rationalization of man-power, improvements in customer services, T&D system and
financial restructuring of the KESC. I am confident that with your help and support we will be able to
achieve our targets.
I am thankful to all participants of the AGM of the Corporation and all my colleagues and members
of the KESC Board of Directors for their valuable help and cooperation extended to the Corporation. I am
also thankful to the Ministry of Water and Power, Ministry of Finance, Economic Affairs and Planning
Division for their assistance. The Provincial Governments of Sindh, Balochistan and local
authorities also deserve our thanks for their help and cooperation.
