With the completion of 10 hydel power projects.
“These projects, which are scheduled to be completed from 2022 to 2029 in a phased manner, will add 11.7 million acre feet (MAF) of gross water storage and 11,300 megawatt (MW) of low-cost, clean and green hydroelectricity to the national grid,” Wapda Chairman, retired Lt Gen Sajjad Ghani, said after receiving detailed briefings on various projects.
“On-time completion is a huge challenge, but there lies an opportunity in these challenges as well. We can take the opportunity to lift Wapda’s stature at national as well as international level,” said Mr Ghani.

4500MW Diamer Basha Dam –
Construction of Diversion Tunnels
An important structure for the construction of the main dam, the total length of the Diversion Tunnels 1&2 is about 2000m (912m & 1041m). Due to the larger cross-sectional area of horseshoe-shaped tunnels (220m²), the excavation was divided into layers.
The excavation on both tunnels is in progress from multiple work fronts however Diversion Tunnel 2 progress is advancing ahead.
The concrete lining in the completed section has already been commenced with steel formwork trolley.

By choice or otherwise, Pakistan’s national grid power generation was down 10 percent year-on-year in July 2022. Less than 14 billion units for July, which has historically been the peak demand month, is the lowest July generation since July 2018. Even July 2020 during peak Covid had higher generation numbers.
You could put it down to reduced temperatures, as monsoon came early, but continued load shedding across the length and breadth of the country suggests, the system was managed to make up for shortage of fuel. July was the second month running that year-on-year power generation went down, taking the 12-month moving average growth to 8 percent. It was hovering around 11 percent for the past six months.
There are signs of economic slowdown emerging, looking at high frequency statistics of the last two months. Industrial activity also seems to be slowing down, some of it forcibly to manage the country’s balance of payment. It is quite a setback considering that the government pinned its hopes on increasing the grid generation by 50 percent, and in the process bring down the power generation cost to Rs12/unit. There was no way it was going to be achieved ever, but things have actually turned for the worse. Not only have the demand and the capacity to generate at optimal efficiency dwindled, the affordability part of the equation has also gone haywire.
RLNG generation continues to be far from optimal, given how tight the spot market has been. August and September promise to be worse in terms of RLNG availability, as Pakistan authorities have been unable to attract successful bids for spot cargoes. Coal, on the other hand, is not as scarce, but only 13 percent share in total generation from coal shows, there were not that many dollars available to ensure timely coal imports.
On the brighter side, hydel generation seems to be getting back towards normalcy, with the share going up to 35 percent. Nuclear generation has also picked up – and in a rare event, had a higher share in generation at 14 percent, than that of coal.
The fuel charges adjustment sought for July 2022 stands at Rs4.7/unit, as the generation cost of Rs10.98/unit beats the revised reference fuel cost of Rs6.29/unit. Mind you, reference fuel costs have once again been revised upwards, and July reference fuel cost is 19 percent higher year-on-year. With base tariffs already up, August and September electricity bills will have significantly higher effective tariffs, given extremely high FCA.
Fuel adjustments stayed record high in FY22 and should cool down in FY23. But that will not necessarily mean lower effective tariff, as much of that has been incorporated into revised base tariffs. The base tariff is all set to go up for next two months as well, and high FCA will just make matters worse.

Any final estimates about the loss in time incurred due to the floods for the project?
The govt was trying to make an inquiry board into this to find out why the project was so shabby that it got flooded, a laughable measure in itself.

The private sector on Thursday announced their decision to set up Pakistan’s first ever one-gigawatt wind-solar hybrid power plant with the aim to counter the expensive power and climate crises in Pakistan.
“We are setting up the first private sector run power plant outside of the government’s ambit,” Engro Energy CEO Yusuf Siddiqui said while speaking at the Annual State of Renewables Conference 2022 organised by the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) and Unilever.
“The one-gigawatt hybrid power plant (including thermal) will start producing 500 MW in the first phase by the end of 2024 and the remaining 500 MW will start production in 2025, at Jhampir, Sindh.”
Siddiqui explained that this was going to be the first plant in Pakistan being set up without having acquired a fixed rate of return from the government. “The company will produce power on its own and sell it to the private sector. This is what is happening in the US and Europe,” he said.

Federal Minister for Energy Khurram Dastgir on Wednesday said the bidding process for a 600-megawatt (MW) pilot solar project will be completed today, which will determine the cost of these projects.
Through these sources, 11,000MW of electricity will be added to the national grid in the coming years, he said.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Dastgir said investors will be invited to evaluate the project, after which a reverse bidding process will be initiated.
He said shifting the entire electricity generation through indigenous sources will lower the burden on the national exchequer and provide cheap electricity to consumers.
Sharing features of the government’s energy policy, Dastgir said power plants built in the future will be based on indigenous sources, including hydel, solar, wind, Thar coal and nuclear.
“The reason is that prices of oil and gas, which are mostly imported, have skyrocketed in the international market. This would also ensure energy security."
Dastgir said the cost of electricity generated using solar and wind sources are 50-60% cheaper than other sources. The minister added that solar energy would aid in mitigating pollution as well.
“Moreover, pressure on the country’s power sector, which is under huge debt due to subsidies, would be alleviated,” said the minister.
Dastgir said that the government intends to install 2,000MW of renewable energy projects in rural areas through micro solar projects of 1-2MW, adding government buildings and tube wells will be solarised.
“The goal is to provide cheap electricity to consumers,” he said.
He said the government is working on a number of power projects which will add 2,000MW of electricity to the national grid by next year. “The Shanghai Thar coal of 1,320MW would be inaugurated later this year.”
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that Pakistan’s future hinged on extensive utilisation of renewable energy as these alternative resources of energy could help generate inexpensive power.
Earlier this month, Prime Minister's Office (PMO) gave a deadline of a couple of weeks for mapping 6,000-MW solar projects across the country and proposed a tariff along with indexation to attract international investment.
These directions were issued at a meeting on September 5, 2022, presided over by Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Effective Governance, Dr Jehanzeb Khan, a close relative of Azam Khan, who was a secretary in the government of Imran Khan

Lucky Cement Limited, one of Pakistan’s biggest cement manufacturers, announced entering into an arrangement with Orient Energy Systems (Private) Limited, an engineering company, for the supply and installation of 25.3 MW captive solar power project at its Karachi plant.
In a notice sent to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Wednesday, the cement manufacturer shared that the estimated cost of the project is Rs3 billion.
“The company is in the process of establishing Letter of Credit (LCs) for import of equipment, which is subject to receiving approval from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP),” read the notice.
The project is expected to be completed in approximately eight months after the establishment of LC, said the company.
It added that the power project is in addition to the earlier announced 34MW captive solar power project with a 5.589MW Reflex energy storage at the company's plant in Pezu, Lakki Marwat.
“Sustainability and adoption of clean energy has remained a cornerstone of the Company's strategy and it was one of the first cement companies to install waste heat recovery (WHR) units at both its plant sites.
“The company's initiatives for investment in renewable energy projects will play a key role in cost savings as well as reduction of country's reliance on imported fuel.”
Earlier in June, Lucky Cement’s Board of Directors authorised its management to undertake a feasibility study for a renewable energy project at its plant in Karachi.
Moreover, back in March, Lucky Electric Power Company Limited (LEPCL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lucky Cement, successfully completed the commissioning of its 660MW supercritical, lignite coal-based power plant at Deh Ghangiaro, Bin Qasim, Karachi.
The power plant was synchronised with the national grid towards the end of CY 2021 and achieved Commercial Operations Date (COD) on March 21, 2022.

PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Mahmood Khan on Tuesday set a one-month deadline for the relevant authorities to conduct a feasibility study for the establishment of a waste-to-energy plant.
“The proposed bio-fuel plant will not only help the province achieve energy self-sufficiency but will control environmental pollution as well,” the chief minister told a cabinet meeting here.
The meeting was also attended by the chief secretary, additional chief secretary, senior member of the Board of Revenue, and administrative secretaries of government departments.
According to spokesman for the government Barrister Mohammad Ali Saif, who later addressed a presser, the chief minister also ordered amendments to the relevant laws on the acquisition of land for universities and said no more than 100 kanals of land should be procured for a university to protect agricultural lands.
The cabinet also approved the KP Climate Change Policy and Action Plan, 2022, with a focuses on the reduction of the vulnerability of natural and human systems as well as lessening greenhouse gas emissions through technological or nature-based solutions.
“The new climate change policy is in consonance with the objectives of the Revised National Climate Change Policy 2021 and will address as many as nine agroecological zones of the province, including tribal districts,” the spokesman said.
He said the policy’s successful implementation would open new avenues to attract international climate financing in adaptation and mitigation sectors, allowing the province to achieve sustainable development and create resilience against natural disasters securing the province’s fragile economy in confronting future environmental challenges.
Mr Saif quoted the chief minister as saying Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is the first province to devise own climate change policy after the 18th Constitutional Amendment.
The cabinet reviewed some of its decisions made in the June 13, 2022, special budget meeting and approved reduction of the Ad hoc Allowance, 2022, from 16 per cent to 15 per cent to be granted to all provincial government employees on running basic pay “with no immediate pay-as-you-go deduction towards the Defined Contribution Pension Programme.”
The spokesman also said the decision regarding calculation of pension emoluments on the basis of the last three years average basic pay with effect from July 1, 2022, was held in abeyance.
He said the cabinet approved the extension of the Water and Sanitation Services Company Bannu’s jurisdiction to 11 village councils and five neighbourhood councils falling within the ambit of the local assistant director (local government) to benefit 89,596 residents.
Mr Saif said the cabinet also approved lease agreement between the local government development and the culture department for leasing out 100 kanals of land on the Mardan Bypass Road to the latter for establishing a cultural complex in Mardan.
He said the cabinet also approved the inclusion of patwar halqas of Sulatanr and Jarogo valleys in the jurisdiction of the Upper Swat Development Authority to enable the authority to carry out its functions regarding promotion of eco-tourism and environment-friendly development effectively.
The spokesman said approval was also accorded to the upgradation of four employees of the defunct Fata Development Corporation, including Mohammad Suleman Khan, Mohammad Rafiq, Sanaullah and Fazal Rabi, as well as the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Private Schools Regulatory Authority (Amendment) Act, 2022.
The cabinet approved the posting of Zakaullah Khattak to the vacant post of the managing director of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Urban Mobility Authority and the regularisation of 21 officers of the Special Police Force against vacancies in various districts.
