Hydro power plants updates

I don't agree with BOT 30yrs model..it's too expensive at 7.5 levelized and 10cents in first 5yrs.

WB AB AIIBWAPDA BONDS govt PSDP and competitive bidding would have produced power more in global range which is 5-7 cents first 10 yrs and 4 cents levelized(e.g tarbela IV/V, DASU)

Cost is 100% more. If you look at NEPRA you notice why.. inappropriate return, weird expense additions like (security) and so on..

Surely it's better then our diesel but this is going to be tough to pay back.

we could have made a few things like making it 40 yrs BOT or (not a Bot at all) to reduce the cost.

I would prefer 5 cents without ever getting the project rather then playing 10cents & 7.5 cents..

Problem is something like Neelum Jhelum with massive cost over runs and garbage build such that its not producing any electricity because of tunnels leaking minimum 1 year maybe more. Good knows when it will be fixed. There's no good way to do anything in Pakistan anymore. Wonder how the heck Tarbela and Mangla were made in the first place.

By professional engnr with the help of acceptable funding

NJ project was a political project...the purpose was to stop India building upstream

It wasn't planned correctly

It failed to do so because funding was held abruptly by PPPP govt
So India built upstream anyway

The excavation of the deepest Pressure shaft System has been completed successfully at Suki Kinari Hydropower Project.
On October 22, the breakthrough of upper-pressure shafts occurred successfully.

.

The Pressure shaft system consists of 6 pressure shafts and 8 horizontal pressure tunnels and the overall depth/elevation difference is almost 740m which breaks the world record for deepest pressure shaft system of Sinclare Hydropower station in Ecuador.

The completion of excavation laid down the solid foundation for steel liner installation which is already in progress at completed sections. To celebrate this important milestone, the SKHPP management team witnessed the ceremony held at a construction site.

Under-construction T-5 Project, which is scheduled for generation in 2025.
Tarbela Dam has been a vital project for irrigated agriculture and economy of the country, because it provides water for agriculture, mitigates floods and generates a sizeable quantum of low-cost and environment-friendly hydel electricity to the National Grid. As many as 64 million acre-feet of water are released annually from Tarbela Dam to meet irrigation needs of the country.

In addition, Tarbela Hydel Power Station and Tarbela 4th Extension Hydel Power Station have contributed 540.37 billion units and 17.30 billion units green, clean and cheap electricity to the National Grid respectively since their commissioning.

Tarbela has the singular honour of possessing more than half of the total installed capacity of hydel generation in Pakistan. With completion of under construction 1530 MW-T-5 Project, the existing installed capacity at Tarbela will rise from 4888 MW to 6418 MW.

Under Construction Diamer Basha Dam - 4500MW

Construction work is being carried out on 10 different sites, which include excavation of dam abutments from the top, diversion tunnel, diversion canal, power intake, permanent access bridge and access roads.

Scheduled for completion in 2029, Diamer Basha Dam will have a gross water storage capacity of 8.1 MAF to irrigate 1.23 million acres of additional land.

It will have installed power generation capacity of 4,500 MW, and provide 18 billion units of green and clean hydel electricity to the National Grid per annum.

The timeline's were revised in IK's time and tariffs and expenses altered, which then altered the deadlines. That's one of the reasons why the word was either stopped on many projects, or, was reduced in scope as the Chinese didn't want to go on a ghost chase.
Now, the work has started again and things are moving. BOT maturity can change as per Pakistan's demands.
Take a look at Peshawer BRT, it's now become more expensive than Lahore and Multan BRT's combined AND it's smaller in length from Lahore alone! How do you handle it?
