What an ending of year 2021 and start of year 2022. There was shower of milestone achievements at Suki Kinari Hydropower Project.
It is really appreciated the team of National and International staff accomplished this challenging task. The excavation of these two middle Pressure shafts was started in the beginning of year 2021 and completed at the end of year 2021 and beginning of 2022.
The penstock system is about 2km long which consists of 6 pressure shafts and 8 pressure tunnels. The overall elevation difference is 744m and one of the “Deepest Pressure Shaft Systems” among World’s Hydropower projects.
The excavation of all Pressure shafts is being done with drilling and blasting. Initially, the guide shaft having a diameter of 1.65m had been achieved. The expansion of the guide shaft from 1.65m to 5.08m was achieved with the drilling & Blasting method.
No doubt, the drilling, and excavation of such a short diameter shaft was not an easy task in these geological conditions but the determined team made it happen

Diamer Basha Dam 4500MW -
Construction works are in Progress Day & Night.
The Construction works were commenced in July 2020 on this monumental project.
InshAllah, on completion, this dam will reduce water scarcity and also address power woes of the country.

Suki Kinari Hydropower Project, a CPEC project, has successfully achieved another milestone. Not easy to accomplish the challenging tasks & make the steady progress amid COVID-19 pandemic.
Both China and Pakistan have a lot riding on the success of CPEC. China needs to make CPEC a success story for the rest of the BRI.

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) phase-II is much broader in scope and focuses on relocation of industries, agriculture sector modernisation, cooperation in science and technology, job creation and socio-economic wellbeing of people, said Pakistan’s Ambassador to China Moinul Haque.
Energy projects that have achieved completion include 1,320-megawatt coal-fired power plants in Sahiwal, Port Qasim, Karachi, and Hub (Balochistan), 660MW Engro Thar coal power project, and 1,000MW Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park in Bahawalpur (400MW project has been completed while 600MW project is under implementation).
In an interview with the Global Times on Monday, the ambassador said that the two sides were making rapid progress on the development of Gwadar Port and Gwadar Free Trade Zone, which would promote regional connectivity and economic integration.
He termed it a matter of great satisfaction that despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic over the past two years, cooperation under CPEC and work on all projects continued without any hindrance.

The Deputy MD of the NTDC visited the Karot Hydropower Project and oversaw the preparations underway for connection to the national grid.
The Deputy Managing Director NTDC, Mr. Muhammad Ayub visited the Karot Hydropower Project on 14th January, 2022 to oversee the progress of the Karot Project, the status of the switchyard and the Site Acceptance Test (SAT) of the Protection and Control system of the 500 kV switchyard installed at the Karot Hydropower Project
Later that day, Mr. Zuberi gave a detailed presentation on the progress of the project and the unique factors of the Karot Project. The transmission line arrangement for Karot Project was elaborated during the meeting. Regarding the testing and commissioning activities,Mr. Arsalan informed participants regarding the progress on different matters including the installation of equipment, the readiness of the First Generating Unit, installation of metering system and panels at the site.
The Deputy MD appreciated the progress of the project made so far and he appreciated the project teams to taking measures to complete the project on time. He said the project is really important as it is the first hydro IPP of such a large scale to be developed in Pakistan.
The Deputy MD further highlighted that since Karot Hydropower plant will be connected to 500 kV transmission network of Pakistan and he has discussed with the office of chief engineer (P&C) regarding the ongoing SAT of protection and control system.
It was suggested and recommended by Mr. Ayub Deputy MD NTDC that the KPCL team shall carefully review the designs, comments and requirements of NTDC regarding the protection and control systems as it is extremely important and critical for the safe and reliable operation of the grid system of Pakistan.

Diamer Bhasha Hydropower Project Under Construction.
The 267-meter long temporary Cableway Bridge, with weight bearing capacity of 80 tons, completed yesterday on River Indus downstream of Main Dam site of Diamer Basha Dam Project for transportation of heavy machinery and construction material from the left bank to the right bank for acceleration of construction activities on the Project.
The three Cableway Bridges, upstream of the Main Dam site, are already operational to expedite the construction work.
