ISLAMABAD – The Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) has announced that biometric verification will now be required for all new electricity connections and reconnections.
This decision was formalized in a recent agreement signed between IESCO’s Chief Executive Engineer, Chaudhry Khalid Mehmood, and the CEO of NADRA Technologies, Omar Khan Azad.
The new biometric verification system aims to eliminate fraudulent and illegal connections by ensuring that all customers’ identities are accurately verified before receiving power services.
This will also help in maintaining up-to-date records of consumers, making it easier for the company to track payment histories and reduce outstanding dues. With this system in place, defaulters will be unable to obtain new connections without clearing their outstanding payments.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Engineer Chaudhry Khalid Mehmood emphasized that IESCO is committed to improving customer service through user-friendly initiatives and digitalization.
