ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has established its first-ever public sector data governance institution, marking a major step toward improving transparency, decision-making, and investor confidence in the country&#39;s power sector, said a statement from the Ministry of Energy on Thursday.&nbsp;According to the statement, the Ministry of Energy (Power Division) formally launched the Power Sector Data Governance Council (PSDGC), a high-level body tasked with overseeing data management across the energy sector.&nbsp;The statement said that the council has been created to address longstanding challenges arising from fragmented and inconsistent data systems maintained by various generation, transmission, distribution, and regulatory entities.&nbsp;&ldquo;The government has also introduced a comprehensive Data Governance Framework aligned with internationally recognized DAMA-DMBOK standards,&rdquo; added the statement. The statement further said that a key component of the initiative is the development of a Centralized Data Repository, which will consolidate sector-wide information into a single authoritative platform.&nbsp; The council includes representation from major power sector institutions and has been established in collaboration with the Pakistan Digital Authority to ensure compliance with national digital governance standards.&nbsp;It described the PSDGC as a pioneering model that could eventually be replicated across other sectors, including health, water, transport and finance, to improve governance and policy outcomes nationwide.
