With over 20 years of experience in corporate finance and advisory, Mr. Skelton specializes in complex, cross-border assignments, navigating diverse legal jurisdictions and various waterfall structures. Currently, the Board of KE is supported by four key committees to ensure the effective functioning of its operations: (i) Audit, (ii) Finance, (iii) Human Resources & Remuneration, and (iv) Board Strategy & Projects. These committees play a crucial role in streamlining the Board’s processes and decision-making. A.F. Ferguson & Company, Chartered Accountants, is the external auditor of the Company. The auditors have given unqualified opinion and review report on Company’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, Pakistan’s total installed power generation capacity stood at 45,885 MW. The country’s energy mix remains predominantly thermal-based, followed by a significant contribution from hydropower sources. Renewable energy, while currently accounting for approximately 6% of the total installed capacity, is anticipated to grow steadily in the coming years as the country shifts toward cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions. During FY24, total electricity generation across the country amounted to 137,196 GWh, compared to 138,539 GWh in FY23. KE is the only vertically integrated power utility in Pakistan, responsible for the full spectrum of electricity generation, transmission, and distribution within its licensed territory. KE has a registered customer base of ~3.8 million at end-Mar25, of which 84.6% constitute residential consumers, 14.8% commercial, Industrial 0.6%, and the remaining comprises of agricultural and public consumers. The MYT was submitted in four distinct segments: Generation, Transmission, Distribution Network, and Supply. NEPRA approved the Generation tariff in October 2024, followed by the Transmission, Distribution, and Supply tariffs in May 2025. As approvals of entire MYT recently granted, additional time is required to finalize the Company’s financial statements. KE management has indicated that the accounts will be published soon. Profit margins are directly tied to the revenue allowances that have been permitted by the regulator in the recently approved tariffs.

KE manages its working capital requirements through a balanced approach that includes a combination of shortterm borrowings and internally generated cash flows. To further strengthen its liquidity position, KE has finalized a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the regulatory authority. The formalization of this agreement enables KE to offset its payables to the CPPA-G against Tariff Differential Claims (TDCs) receivable from the GoP, ensuring a balanced net financial position. According to management, the Company’s current cash flow position and debt profile remain comfortable and well-managed. The Company anticipates that this trend will continue, supported by sustainable cash generation and prudent debt management practices in the future. The approval of the Investment Plan is anticipated to result in a significant increase in debt, primarily allocated towards the expansion and enhancement of the transmission and distribution segments. However, this is mitigated by the fact that KE has strategically allocated funds in its Master Collection Accounts (MCA), specifically earmarked for servicing its longterm debt, to meet its debt obligations in a timely manner.
