In a significant development for the power sector workforce, the Prime Minister of Pakistan has approved the adjustment of surplus employees from GENCOs (Generation Companies) into various DISCOs (Distribution Companies) across the country. This decision, communicated through multiple government channels including the Ministry of Energy (Power Division) and GHCL (GENCO Holding Company Limited), aims to streamline human resources within Pakistan’s power sector.
