To run any large organization successfully, clear division of tasks and responsibilities is essential. This division creates a structured hierarchy where every individual understands their role and remains accountable for their duties.
The same principle applies to MEPCO (Multan Electric Power Company). As one of Pakistan’s largest power distribution companies, MEPCO operates through a well-defined organizational structure.
This organizational structure is established by the Government of Pakistan to ensure transparency, efficiency, and smooth operations. MEPCO’s hierarchy mainly consists of two top tiers:
- Board of Directors (BOD)
- MEPCO Management Team
Board of Directors (BOD) MEPCO
The Board of Directors is the highest decision-making authority in MEPCO. The BOD is responsible for setting company policies, approving strategic plans, ensuring regulatory compliance, and overseeing overall performance.
The Board plays a critical role in guiding MEPCO’s long-term vision and operational success. MEPCO’s Board of Directors consists of nine members, representing executive, non-executive, and independent leadership:
