NEPRA admits PAEC licence application
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has admitted the application of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) for consideration to grant a generation license for its 1,145MW Karachi Nuclear Power Plant – 2 (KANUPP-2).
The electricity generation unit that would use enriched uranium as fuel is expected to achieve commercial operations by November 2020. According to PAEC website, the 60-year levelised generation cost is estimated to be Rs9.59/kWh
There are no emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide during the production of electricity at nuclear energy facilities. Nuclear energy is a very clean-air source of energy that produces electricity 24 hours a day.
The ground-breaking of KANUPP-2 and KANUPP-3 was performed in 2013. KANUPP-3 is expected to come online by the end of 2021. Soon after that the 100MW Chasma-5 will be completed, as the country plans to generate 8,800MW of nuclear energy by 2030.
