The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has granted DHA Energy Supply Company (DESCO) electricity distribution and solar power supply licenses for DHA City Karachi, making it the first company in Pakistan to hold both approvals.
The licenses were formally handed over at a ceremony held at NEPRA headquarters in Islamabad, where NEPRA Member Maqsood Anwar presented them to representatives of DHA Energy Supply Company.
The regulator issued the electricity distribution and supply licenses for DHA City Karachi, enabling the company to develop and operate its own power distribution network while also supplying electricity generated from solar and other approved sources.
According to DESCO, the company began the licensing process in 2017, with the approvals secured through close coordination with NEPRA.
The company also announced that the feasibility study for its planned grid station is nearly complete, with construction expected to begin in early 2027.
DESCO further disclosed that it has signed a Power Acquisition Agreement with Lucky Cement to procure electricity for its distribution network.
The company said the approvals mark a significant milestone in the development of an independent electricity infrastructure for DHA City Karachi and are expected to support reliable power supply as the project expands.
