The Pakistan Electric Power Company (Private) Limited (PEPCO) has been entrusted the task of managing the transition of WAPDA from a bureaucratic structure to a corporate, commercially viable and productive entity. It is a mammoth task and progress in the initial months was rather slow, but one should keep in mind that responsibility is enormous and transition is a long drawn process.
Before going into further details of the restructuring programme, it is necessary to understand the shift in the GoP policy. The GoP, in line with its Strategic Plan of 1992 approved by the cabinet committee, had decided to restructure the entire power sector in the country

(An interview of Engineer Tahir Basharat Cheema, MD PEPCO)
Pakistan at present, is facing a severe power crisis considered to be the worst of the four such crisis it has faced since 1974-75 onwards.
POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR NEW - CAPTIVE POWER PRODUCERS (N-CPPs)
To lessen the gravity of power shortage in the country it was decided by WAPDA/PEPCO to
acquire surplus and redundant Captive Power from APTMA members as one of the
supply side measures. This Captive Power was mostly oil based. Subsequently, Sugar Industry
also made a similar offer for sale of surplus (bagasse based) Captive Power. So far about 182 MW
produced by different CPPs on different fuels could be fed to DISCOs on take-and-pay-basis at
tariffs approved by WAPDA Authority/PEPCO under the guidelines of NEPRA. Up till now APTMA
remains the main contributor.
