The Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) has chosen to use cutting-edge IT systems to monitor power theft and line losses on its main feeders, according to the project file.
For the project named “Implementation of web-based GIS along-with mobile application and mapping of HT/LT (survey of 10 Nos. of HT feeders along-with their respective LT Network) distribution and transmission network of LESCO,” a contract has been signed by the IT section of NESPAK and the Lahore Electric Supply Company.
Under the contract agreement, LESCO will receive software development consultancy services from the IT specialists for both high- and low-tension feeders located across the provincial capital of the Punjab province. The IT scope of work includes services for creating and deploying a web-based geographic information system (GIS), as well as mobile applications and mapping of feeders.
There will be an HT/LT Distribution Network available to enable the collection of field data from HT, LT, and consumers. For this purpose, NESPAK will build and install an Enterprise GIS solution in addition to a state-of-the-art mobile app for both the Android and IOS platforms.
The ERP, ENC, AMI, SynerGEE, CIBS, and other current and future LESCO systems will all be integrated with this GIS solution. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, the project seeks to measure and record parameters for loss analysis and computations at the feeder and transformer levels. This will manage load, improve efficiency, automate the system, and help detect and lessen theft within the distribution system.
Following the successful deployment of the web-based system on ten feeders, all feeders will undergo digitization, resulting in the digitization of the entire system.
Meanwhile, the software development phase of the consulting for the project named “Consultancy Services for Software Development under the Project ‘Establishment of Pilot Citizen Facilitation Center in Peshawar'” has been successfully completed by the software engineering branch of NESPAK.
The public-government interface provided by the software solution, which consists of web and mobile apps, greatly enhances the efficiency, accessibility, and openness of public service delivery systems in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Since December 2023, this noteworthy project—which was commissioned by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s KP IT Board—has been operational.
Currently, 800,000+ applications for e-services have been digitally submitted to government departments utilizing the CFC Software Solution, which was created and built by NESPAK, and more than 500,000 citizens have registered on the CFC Solution Portal for e-Services using CFC Software Solution designed and developed by NESPAK and are being processed digitally.
The establishment of Citizen Facilitation Centers aims to provide a single point of contact for residents seeking assistance in accessing governmental services. Consolidated access to a range of services, including the issuance of residence certificates, driver’s licenses, weapons permits, birth certificates, divorce/marriage certificates, and ownership transfer of cars, is the main goal.
The general public and government agencies will communicate through the CFCs. Transparency, accessibility, and efficiency of public service delivery systems would all greatly increase with the introduction of CFCs. The advantages of CFS include reducing access distance, expanding access to underserved populations, establishing accountability, transparency, and efficiency; streamlining transaction processes; lowering costs to citizens; raising government revenue; raising the public satisfaction index; and speeding up citizen transactions.
