The Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO) plans to auction obsolete and unserviceable equipment through an electronic bidding system on June 29, 2026. This initiative marks a significant step in modernizing asset disposal within Pakistan’s power sector.
Digital Platforms for Transparency
FESCO’s digital auction platform enhances transparency and promotes good governance. This project aligns with federal policies to digitalize public sector utilities, ensuring equal access for all parties involved. By deploying an electronic system, FESCO reduces typical barriers in physical auctions, lowering the risk of favoritism.
Nationwide Participation and Revenue Boost
The e-bidding method welcomes participants nationwide, eliminating geographical constraints. This broader accessibility increases competition and potentially boosts revenue from asset sales.
Efficient Management of Auction Inventory
The auction will feature equipment stored at FESCO facilities that is no longer functional. Selling these obsolete items not only optimizes warehouse space but also converts dormant assets into financial gain.

Ensuring Accountability in E-Bidding
This electronic system facilitates remote participation, eliminating the need for physical presence. Each transaction is digitally logged, creating an auditable trail that encourages accountability and prevents irregularities. This level of transparency strengthens financial oversight in the power sector, providing clear records for regulatory authorities and auditors.
