The Origin of QESCO:
QESCO had emerged in 1928, as a small power company aimed at providing limited power supply to the restricted area of the Quetta cantonment and a part of the city. The company was supplying power to only about 13500 consumers in 1970 due to its limited generation capacity. The remaining major parts of the province of Blochistan were left in the grip of darkness, and the great potential of agriculture and mineral development could not be exploited.

WAPDA's Takeover of QESCO:
During the 1971, when the load demand of Quetta Cantt. and City was beyond the generating capacity of QESCO, WAPDA took over QESCO as well as the complete power installations in Balochistan.

Development of Infrastructure:
The pace of development gained momentum with the coming in of WAPDA, specially in the Agriculture sector. The load growth increased tremendously. During 1977 WAPDA had to extend National Grid Network through 220 KV & 132 KV transmission lines to Balochistan Province as the generating capacity of the thermal Power Station could not meet the load demand of the area.

QESCO as Distribution Company:
During the last 5 years, WAPDA had been experiencing the worst financial crunch of its history due to multiple reasons; such IPPs, shortfalls in revenue, increase in liabilities, over staffing, inefficiency and lack of commercial approach. Previously there were eight Area Electricity Boards in WAPDA which were responsible for Distribution of Electric Power. As a policy decision of restructuring WAPDA, the Area Boards were converted into separate entities and the Companies were created - Quetta Electric Supply Company Ltd has been incorporated under the Companies Ordinance 1984 on Ist July 1998.

Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO), located in Peshawar provides service of power distribution to over 2.0 million consumers of all civil districts of N.W.F.P, Pakistan. At PESCO networks, we own and maintain N.W.F.P's electricity distribution system via 132, 66, 33KV sub-transmission lines, sub-stations and 11KV & 440V low tension lines with distribution transformers that deliver electricity to your home or business.

The environment and structure of the power industry throughout the world is undergoing dramatic change. The power sector is moving from monopoly to privatization and from integration to disintegration. To keep pace with this change, the Government of Pakistan approved a Strategic Plan in 1994 as a consequence of which the power wing of WAPDA has been unbundled into 12 Companies for generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.

Peshawar Area Electricity Board was reorganized into one such corporatized entity under the name of Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO) with effect from 22-03-1998, with the aim of commercialization and eventually privatization.
