QESCO was formed to take over and acquire all properties, assets and liabilities of the Quetta Area Electricity Board owned by the Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA). The company was incorporated on April 23, 1998 and certificate for commencement of business was obtained on July 1, 1998 from NEPRA under Section 146(2) of Companies Ordinance 1984. QESCO is supplying power to all of Balochistan apart from the Lasbela District. Though QESCO’s coverage is larger than other DISCOs with over 43% of Pakistan covered, its consumer base is the smallest.
