N2  - The electricity shortage crisis is not just a passing one , but a reality that  threatens to become a permanent feature in Pal<istan in the near future. System  expansion has become a popular means to meet the ever growing electricity  demand. The more obvious option of improving the performance of existing  electricity system, which is cheaper to implement and generally has higher and  quicker returns, has been given l esser priority. It is imperative that a country  which is facing serious electricity s hortages must, along with an increase in  the supply of electricity through all resources at its command, also ensure that  it operates t he existing electricity system most efficiently and makes economic  a nd efficient use of electricity.  This study identifies the opportunities to improve the technological  performance of the WAPDA electricity system in the areas of power generation,  tr ansmission and distribution, as well as in end-use performance in the industrial  sector of the country.  The technological performance indicators are evaluated to assess the  performance of the existing electricity system, and areas having potential for  improvement are identified. Policies are recommended in order to address these  particular improvements
