LAHORE: Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) has decided to ban three-phase meters for all consumers, according to a report on Sunday.

In this regard, LESCO has started work on installing Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) meters in place of three-phase meters. By installing AMR meters, consumers will have to pay an extra Rs20,000 to Rs25,000.

An additional amount will be charged due to the difference in meter price. LESCO will charge the purchase of AMR meters at Rs 42,000. Installation of MMR meters will reduce over billing and electricity theft.

To stop thef, change of meter is not justified. The recent report that line losses in lesco have increased from 11% to 37% is alarming. Pl. stop theft through strict monitoring not meter replacement.

You guys can put all the equipment you want in place but the truth is that theft happens at the lesco offices. Find a device that will replace your corrupt officials and you will have a winner.
