Distribution companies (DISCOs) are companies under Pakistan Electric Power Company (PEPCO) responsible for distribution of electricity in their respective allocated areas. They buy electricity from producers such as Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA), GENCOs, PAEC and other private Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and sell it to their respective area customers. All companies are owned by the Government of Pakistan except K-Electric, which was privatized in 2005. Unfortunately, most of the electricity distribution companies in Pakistan are highly inefficient and leads to huge line losses of electricity.

Electricity in Pakistan is generated, transmitted and distributed by two vertically integrated public sector companies, first one being Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) responsible for the production of hydroelectricity and its supply to the consumers by electricity distribution companies (DISCOS) under the Pakistan Electric Power Company (PEPCO) being the other integrated company. Currently, there are 12 distribution companies and a National Transmission And Dispatch Company (NTDC) which are all in the public sector except Karachi Electric in the city of Karachi and its surrounding areas.
