‘FESCO not empowered to set power tariffs’
'FESCO staff conducted meter reading on monthly basis with a cycle of 30 to 31 days'
FAISALABAD:
The Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO) was not empowered to fix price of the electricity as it was the power distribution company only, said the Chief Executive Officer of FESCO, Bashir Ahmed.
Addressing an e-court at FESCO Headquarters in Faisalabad on Tuesday, he said that FESCO was not involved in fixing price of the electricity as it was the obligation of NEPRA while FESCO paid electricity cost to the government after recovering it from the consumers.
He said that FESCO staff conducted meter reading on monthly basis with a cycle of 30 to 31 days.
He said that FESCO had established Customer Care Centers in all the eight districts of its region.
