LESCO’s distribution system and supply position has been well managed to digest the new addition of load from industrial consumers. Chief Executive Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) Mujahid Pervaz Chattah has commented on the LESCO system that manages about 1000 megawatt industrial load. As the authorized load of industrial consumers on the LESCO network is around 1200 megawatt, the load factor of domestic consumption with above 70 percent that includes 30 percent load of air conditioners on industrial side, and only 2 percent for agriculture. Unfortunately, the growth in industrial load had reduced to minus 2 percent during the last two years due to the high electricity tariff. The government has taken a good initiative by lowering tariff and putting an end to the charges of peak hour. The industrial load rate would be back into positive territory in 2021 keeping in view the recent initiatives of the present government.
