Gujranwala Electric Power Company (GEPCO) has significantly improved its financial performance, crossing into single-digit line losses for the first time in Financial Year 2025-26.
According to official reports, GEPCO's line losses reduced from 10.43 percent a year ago to 9.80 percent this year, marking a substantial improvement and bringing the company’s financial health into better shape.
The recovery rate for the financial period also saw a notable increase, surpassing 100 percent, indicating effective management of electricity distribution.
GEPCO's success in reducing line losses is attributed to improved operational efficiency and better billing practices. The company has managed to recover more than what was billed, which is crucial for its sustainability.
Another significant achievement highlighted by the reports is GEPCO’s zero share in the national Circular Debt, a financial burden often faced by power companies across Pakistan.
The savings realized during this period amount to Rs. 5.2 billion, a substantial sum that can be reinvested into improving infrastructure and services for consumers.
These improvements come as part of GEPCO’s ongoing efforts to streamline operations and enhance service delivery. The company has been working closely with regulatory bodies and other stakeholders to ensure sustainable practices are in place.
The reduction in line losses is expected to have a positive impact on the overall electricity supply chain, potentially leading to more reliable power for consumers across Gujranwala.
