Plants will run on imported coal untill such time that thar mines are developed enough to supply enough and constantly....

Karachi is also getting k2 and k3 with combined capacity of 2 giga watts
 
Can't you read?? it's 9600 Square Kilometers.... Pakistan total area is 196,096 square Kilometers :D :D Learn the difference between Kilometers and Square kilometers :D :D and then troll



Yaaar Please don't talk shit here you don't make sense

in the pic you can see the landscape of Coal power plant and the landscape... the Black area is the Coal deposit area where the coal is stored for use while other area remains as it it so go troll somewhere else

I know the difference between KM and SqKM but did the writer who wrote that piece knew?. I agree about the pics that is how coal producing places should look like. I keep hearing about the coal in Thar for so many years, but that place in the shown pics looks so pristine and clean so just wondering thats all...

An official from Thar Coal Mining Authority said that all preparations have been made for the inauguration of the country's mega-project, which comprises of 12 blocks on over 9,000 square km of Tharparkar district. Buried under this land lies an estimated 175 billion tones of coal.
 
There were alot of talks about coal bed methane. apart from 50MW prototype, has anything else been materialized or commissioned ?
 
u should ask Khawaja Asifa , Mia brother for input since they are saying it will not be possible

What i am against is secret deals , projects that will harm environment and mega projects which cant be used in few years.

Thank you for try and try harder now. Now about your statement

u should ask Khawaja Asifa. (Learn respect others, Its Asif not Asifa+ when you write something did you asked him?.
Don't be harsh)

Mia brother for input since they are saying it will not be possible ( Again its Mian brothers not Mama Mia brothers)

What i am against is secret deals (we are on same page)

projects that will harm environment and mega projects which cant be used in few years (anything which is not natural is harmful, but we have take adjust and minimize the damages)

@OP

Can you make a list of all on-going power projects and put them in first post?
Its hard to review the whole thread everytime.

And the status of the on-going projects i.e how much % they are completed.

And what is the update on bhawalpur solar plant? How much is it producing right now?
It was off 100 MW but was producing somewhere around 14MW if i remember correctly.
 
Just to let the members know that during a luncheon meeting this week-end with an old friend from Islamabad; I came to know that GOP is offering guaranteed 20% return to private investors in the renewable energy projects. This gentleman is planning to invest a couple of million dollars in a 50 to 60 MW Wind Power project in Jhimpir wind corridor. The project is still in an embryonic stage as foreign funding is still being negotiated.
That's 18% Dollar IRR to be precise and that's not new, its available from IPPs onward.
