Second technical webinar of the year was organized by IEEE PES Chapter Karachi, on Google meet. This versatile webinar meeting was titled as NEPRA Distribution Code 2005 [2.0]. Around 25 attendees attended the meeting and shared their opinions. The selected topic was very interesting and bits long which cannot be covered in one go. So the chapter has decided to divide it in 2-3 chunks. As NEPRA has been established under Section 3 of the Regulation of Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Electric Power Act, 1997, this exclusively regulates the provision of electric power services in Pakistan. The Regulation of Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Electric Power (Amendment) Act, 2018 [Act No. XII of 2018] has renovated the role and responsibilities of NEPRA. In order to introduce apparent and sensible economic regulation to the electric power sector of Pakistan, NEPRA has been created. This sector reflects the country’s resolve to enter in to the new era to meet social objectives. It aims to improve the quality of life for its people and to offer them opportunities for growth and development. The very first webinar of the planned series gave overview of the intermediate knowledge regarding the NEPRA distribution code 2005. From & on behalf of IEEE PES, Engr. Ishtiqul Haq, Chair IEEE PES Karachi Centre, highly praised efforts of Engr. Syed Riffat Ali for making this webinar possible. He also thanked attendees for their participation.
