Electricity Self Net Meetring is Starting in Pakistan
In a recent speech at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry, LESCO Chief Executive Officer Ramzan Butt introduced the program, which is called Apna Meter, Apni Reading.
Although the app's design and other technological aspects are yet unknown, the official debut is anticipated soon. The project's goals are to decrease billing conflicts and improve transparency.
Butt emphasized in his speech how vital the energy industry is to maintaining national stability. "There is increasing agreement that the country's survival is directly dependent on the power sector's viability," he stated.
"In the event of weather-related outages or other disruptions, a Rapid Response Force has been deployed to ensure quick restoration of electricity," he said.
Butt denied allegations of overcharging and inaccurate readings, stating that customer grievances are being aggressively addressed. He said, "Lesco is addressing all concerns at the consumers' doorsteps, including meter replacements and new connections."
He also emphasized the significance of corporate executives, pointing out that economic momentum is driven by their energy use. "The business community plays an essential role in assisting the power sector," he continued.
Butt stated that instructions had been given to avoid tripping events on industrial feeders in order to reduce industrial disruptions. In addition, he addressed stakeholders' worries over First Information Reports (FIRs) by reassuring them that Lesco is putting protections in place to avoid excessive legal action.
Regarding meter malfunctions, he admitted that certain problems occur because industrial users are unaware of them. "To close this gap, meter readers have been given more responsibility for meter monitoring," he stated.
Additionally, LESCO attested that there are currently no material shortages impacting operations.
