Internship Report On MEPCO

“Genius makes its observations in short hand; talent writes them out at length.” Christian Nevell Bovee

As mentioned by the above quotations observing and on site viewing are a very firm base for learning. We learn a lot more by seeing the theories, we read in books, applied practically by the pros and by seeing how they actually put them to work.

If we mull over the significance of internship program then we will be able to bare the facts that internship enhance ones practical loom towards work and provide maximum chances for learning, which will obviously help out candidate in the practical fields. The intention at the rear about internship program is that the students can analyze, observe, feel, examine the organization environment and equip themselves with the tools to face the ever shifting challenges in the organizations. In short internship plays a pivotal role in the future sensation & stir of the candidate.

This Report is specially meant for the student of BBA (Hons). It is concerned to a brief study of the operation, Function, tasks and services of MEPCO.

The effective system at MEPCO was a piece of art and to see it in working process was a treat itself. The billing system at MEPCO is designed to calculate and disseminate bills and to store these bills in the data base and to use them for further use. MEPCO has fine organizational structure and a well defined fully working effective system that helps and aids managers to do their job at best. Our knowledge was further enlighten when we had some of the lectures from the seniors managers of MEPCO, they knew quite a lot about the organization and the subject and they left no stone unturned to let us know about that it was a four week study of the billing system and we had the most enjoyable case study of our life.

In preparation of this Report is have tried my best to provide all Possible information about the operation, function and tasks of MEPCO in brief and comprehensive form. It also includes a brief department worked during internship. I have also tried my best to use simple and easy words and language.

This report is an anthology of my views pertaining to MEPCO operations & practices. In my view it is a credible and comprehensive compilation of facts. In this report I wrote principally

PREFACE

on the issues pertaining to job duties & responsibilities, operations & practices and its future prospects with some recommendations. When the time came to give this information a convenient shape I was confronted with a dilemma of what to put in. One leeway was to include all details with explanation & second preference was to point out some worthy issues with some details. Last solution looked more practicable to me therefore I opt for second solution i.e. to present some relevant feasible details. These details entail information about management philosophy, practices, and functions, strong and weak areas of MEPCO .I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all who helped me in the preparation of this valuable report.

Then internship report ends with some recommendation after identification of some problems observed during the course of internship.

All praise to Almighty Allah, the most merciful and compassionate, who give me skills and abilities to complete this report successfully

I am grateful to my parents who are always been a source of encouragement for me throughout my life and from start to the end of this report

I am thankful to all my staff members so MEPCO Rahim yar khan.

I found every one very co-operative and helpful for providing me the Theoretical as well as practical knowledge about the function and operation of the MEPCO.

I like to express our gratitude to Faqir Ahmed (Head of Technical Dept. MEPCO), Ahsan Kareem (Manager Revenue Branch) and the whole MEPCO Team that helped me by providing all the needed information i needed to complete this report.

I express my greatest gratitude to my kindhearted Supervisor Mr. Shahid Nawaz who was the Person who made me able to write this report, His enthusiasm shows the way forward to me to achieve this success and who kept me in high spirit through his appreciation.

Executive summary“Experience is not what happens to you, it is what you do with what happens to you.”

-Aldous Huxley

I judge my time spent at City District Government Gujranwala (Finance Department) as

being the most productive and exhilarating experience of my corporate life. Few of the

main highlights of my work experience while at Finance Department were:

Good Leadership

Congenial Work Atmosphere

Challenging Tasks Assignment

Employee Empowerment

Proactive Problem Resolution

Before the details description of the report I started with the summary of work I done.

The basic purpose of this summary is to given an idea about the contents and efforts

made behind the completion of the report to the reader.

It was assigned me to visit the MEPCO to view the working environment, function,

procedures and behavior of doing work. Internship was started from 03-07-2009 and end

on 04-08-2009, this period was the real experience e of my life and I saw the setup,

working process and formal documentation of the MEPCO.

The MEPCO is a very big organization with several departments in working in the head

office. The human resource department which deal with the internees has assigned me

MEPCO Shahi road Rahim Yar Khan for 4 weeks. MEPCO gives me the opportunity to

view, how the books of accounts are prepared, how to fill the different forms, how to

behave wit customers and about the record keeping. I worked in Technical section of

MEPCO and learned about distribution system of MEPCO, technical correspondence

between departments and flow of data between departments. I also learned billing system

of MEPCO and also how to apply for new connection and what is procedure. Here staff

gives me opportunity to do practical work. It was a really nice and fruitful experience for

my upcoming practical life.

I would like to conclude by saying that even though every person will have a

different story to tell, the common factor that binds us all is the good work done by our

predecessors in the IUB. I have given more than 100% of my efforts to keep up that good

work and I am sure that my colleagues have done the same. I am hopeful that as we pass

through the corridors of this great institution into the real world, this legacy will be kept

and upheld by the future generation of IUBians.



Introduction

Purpose of the study Purpose of the study was two pronged.

General Purpose To get acquaintance to the MEPCO operations. To know what sort of changes management brings in managerial activities. To see the application of our Professional studies especially.

Specific Purpose Specific purpose of the study includes.

A partial fulfillment as a requirement for the completion of BBA(Hons) degree. To objectively observe the operations of MEPCO in general and the operations of

MEPCO in specific. To make recommendations or implementation plans for the improvement of the

operations of MEPCO in the light of our professional studies.

WAPDA, the Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority, was created in 1958 as

a Semi-Autonomous Body for the purpose of coordinating and giving a unified direction

to the development of schemes in Water and Power Sectors, which were previously being

dealt with, by the respective Electricity and Irrigation Department of the Provinces.



Since October 2007, WAPDA has been bifurcated into two distinct entities i.e.

WAPDA and Pakistan Electric Power Company (PEPCO). WAPDA is

responsible for water and hydropower development whereas PEPCO is vested

with the responsibility of thermal power generation, transmission, distribution and

billing. There is an independent Chairman and MD (PEPCO) www.pepco.gov.pk

replacing Chairman WAPDA and Member (Power) who were previously holding

the additional charges of these posts.

WAPDA is now fully responsible for the development of Hydel Power and Water

Sector Projects.

PEPCO has been fully empowered and is responsible for the management of all

the affairs of corporatized nine Distribution Companies (DISCOs), four

Generation Companies (GENCOs) and a National Transmission Dispatch

Company (NTDC). These companies are working under independent Board of

Directors (Chairman and some Directors are from Private Sectors).

The Companies are administratively autonomous and leading to financial

autonomy by restructuring their balance sheets by bringing their equity position to

at least 20 percent, required to meet the prudential regulations and to facilitate

financing from commercial sector (approved by ECC).

The Loan Liability Transfer Agreements (LLTA) have been signed with

Corporate Entities and execution of loan transfer is complete.

All Entities have the physical possessions of all their operational assets.

On 24th Feb. 2007 Ministry of Water & Power notified NEPRAapproved Tariff

for all Distribution Companies replacing unified WAPDA Tariff.

Legal Agreements such as Business Transfer Agreements, Operation

Development Agreement, Energy Supply Agreement, Business Supplementary

Agreement and Fuel Supply Agreement etc. were executed between WAPDA and

Corporate Entities to facilitate commercial operations.



http://www.pepco.gov.pk/

Regulatory instruments like Grid Code, Distribution Codes, Performance

Standard for Distribution Companies and Transmission Companies were drafted

and got approved from (www.nepra.org.pk) in 2007.

All major lenders gave their consent for transfer of their loan from WAPDA to

Corporate Entities, thus 326 loan assumption agreement were signed amongst

respective Companies, WAPDA and EAD (Economic Affairs Division) GOP.

CPPA is established under the coverage of NTDC for payments from DISCOs to

IPPs, GENCOs and NTDC. Ultimately, it will function independently under

Federal Govt. and all forthcoming IPPs will be under CPPA.

The Charter of Duties of WAPDA is to investigate, plan and execute schemes for the

following fields:

a. Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Power.

b. Irrigation, Water Supply and Drainage.

c. Prevention of Water logging and Reclamation of Waterlogged and Saline Lands.

d. Flood Management.

e. Inland Navigation.

The Authority comprises of a Chairman and three (3) Members working through a

Secretary.

WAPDA is one of the largest employers of human resources in Pakistan. Over the years

WAPDA has built-up a reservoir of Technical know-how and expertise which has made

it a modern and progressive organization.



http://nepra.org.pk/

Power Wing

Power Wing is currently headed by Member (Power). Power wing of WAPDA comprising of Generation, Transmission and Distribution has been restructured into fourteen (14) public limited companies. These fourteen (14) Corporate Entities are ;

PAKISTAN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY

The Pakistan Electric Power Company (Private) Limited (PEPCO) has been entrusted the

task of managing the transition of WAPDA from a bureaucratic structure to a corporate,

commercially viable and productive entity. It is a mammoth task and progress in the

initial months was rather slow, but one should keep in mind that responsibility is

enormous and transition is a long drawn process.

Before going into further details of the restructuring programme, it is necessary to

understand the shift in the GoP policy. The GoP, in line with its Strategic Plan of

1992 approved by the cabinet committee, had decided to restructure the entire

power sector in the country

Information Technology in WAPDAThe Information System Department of

WAPDA better known as WAPDA

Computer Centre (WCC) is the hub of IT

activity in WAPDA. Ever since the

Computer Centre was established in 1968,

WCC has supported the implementation

of computer technology throughout the

organization and the Country. Using

broad categories of mainframe, minis and

micro computers, running under an array of operating environments WCC has also the

distinction of producing skilled workforce for the IT industry.

The Authority is now fully harnessing the advantages of information technology (IT) and

in almost all studies from detailed monitoring of WAPDA's defaulters to Analysis of

Electricity tariffs, computer centre has become focal point for generating information

imperative for management policy formulation.

WCC has been instrumental in

implementing the WAPDA/GOP

instructions. The incentive packages were



promptly and uniformly implemented giving timely relief to the agriculturist and

industrial consumers

The spontaneous implementation of these incentive packages also enhanced electricity

consumption and allowed WAPDA to sell its surplus power, at the same time, bringing

the country closer to a green revolution.

Equipped with VAX 4000 Computers from Digital Equipment Corporation (now

Compaq USA), IBM Servers, WAPDA's Information System Department field

formations have been given under the administrative control of respective DISCOs.

These formations remained operational to provide computerized electricity bills to more

than 13.25 million electricity consumers, every month.

This largest computer application in Pakistan has ensured uniform implementation of

electricity tariff across the country. The system has helped in reduction of consumers

complaints and assisted in streamlining revenue realization process.

To receive payments against federal & provincial government departments electricity

dues, directly from Federal Adjuster, a computerized system has been successfully

Operationalized.

At WCC headquarters in WAPDA House Lahore, two Alpha 2100 computers equipped

with renowned Alpha processors have been installed. These computer are being optimally

utilized to assist in timely analysis, generating vital information for the Authority and to

cater for the processing needs of LESCO.

WAPDA Computer Centre has completed work on a comprehensive year 2000 software

conversion plan and all in-house developed commercial software was made year 2000

compliant. All the other software including Employees provident fund, Assets accounting

etc. has also been converted and new revised software packages are running smoothly. In

all these packages field expansion has been done and dates used have been expanded to

include century. The goal of achieving year 2000 compliance for the in-house developed



software was accomplished by WCC officers without any external assistance and at the

same time no extra budget was sought for this purpose.

So far over 32,000 WAPDA officers and officials of various WAPDA formations have

been put on Y2K compliant computerized payroll system. The application software has

been provided to all DISCOs to ensure its complete implementation.

Entire operations of 177,000 WAPDA Employees provident Fund (EPF) members

including their monthly posting, annual balance sheet and upto end of service EPF details

have been fully computerized. Store-wise issue, receipt and balance of all 610 catalogued

items have been put on computers.

In the wake of complaints, a EPF Number based system has been put in place to

eliminate illegal availing of free units at more than one location by any employee. This

system has totally stopped wrong practice and the consumption booked against WAPDA

Employees has dropped by 20 %.A computer based system to monitoring the

implementation status of Authority's decisions has also been operationalized to assist

Secretary WAPDA.

In addition, processing of special reports for Authority and various WAPDA formations

is carried out by the computer centers. The division-wise computerized receivable

reporting and monitoring system providing twenty different arrears analysis reports have

been expanded to provide tariff wise information. These reports have been further

extended to support monitoring at the sub division level.

Performance data monitoring report reflecting various types of billing and consumers

statistics has also been refined. To assist in procurement of quality hardware and software

products, WCC is rendering valuable expert guidance to all WAPDA formations seeking

help.

To consolidate the information from geographically distributed databases, the data

communication facility available via WAPDA's Administrative Traffic Network in being

used. The free facility is being used to transmit program and summarized data.



The filed formations are also being encouraged to use electronic mail facility available

through Internet. Using backbone Fiber Optics and CISCO switches, in WAPDA House

all floors of WAPDA House Lahore have been inter-linked enabling systematic sharing

of hardware and information. An internal mail server and intranet website is developed

for Authority information. Intranet web application contains the modules like Inventory

for NTDC and Distribution stores, MIS reports, News, Notices, Projects, Books and

Quran-e-Pak.

To promote technical knowledge among the masses of this county, WAPDA Computer

Centre also established two most modern computer training Institutes at Mingora (Swat)

and Quetta. These institutes have now been shifted under the administrative control of

PESCO and QESCO respectively. The technical courses are being constantly monitored

and whenever required, changes are being made to keep them align with latest

technology.

indigenous resources, involve Pakistani entrepreneurs and provide benefits of economic

growth to the relatively backward parts of Pakistan.

The need for a separate Hydel Power Policy

In Pakistan nearly all hydro potential results from discharges into the Indus River basin.

Discharges result primarily from precipitation and snow-melt in the northern

mountainous ranges of the country. Discharges take place in small rivulets coming

further down to the bigger tributaries of River Indus and then to Indus River itself. The

development of hydropower projects however, is characterized by remote locations and

seasonal variations. Pakistan's climatic factors including rainfall and snowmelt, make it

relatively easy to develop hydel generation during the months of July to December while

the period January to June is extremely dry in terms of stream flow. In order, therefore, to

arrest the risk of over development in summer months that would create an unbridgeable

gap in winter months, the total requirement of hydel plants in private sector may be

limited to 2,000 MW upto the end of the 9th Five Year Plan. However, the limit of 2,000

MW will be reviewed at a later stage and can be enhanced to suit the national priorities

and power demand growth. Realizing that these peculiarities of hydropower development

necessitate special consideration the Government has devised an attractive policy

package to evoke response of private sector similar to that of thermal power. The salient

features of the policy framework and package of incentives devised for development of

hydropower through private sector.
