KP to complete two hydel projects this month | Business Recorder
Two hydel power projects including 2.6 megawatt Machai (Mardan) and 17 megawatt Ranolia (Kohistan) will complete by the end of the current financial year, said the White Paper of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa budget for financial year 2015-16.
The Energy and Power Department of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through its attached wing Pakhtunkhwa Energy Development Organisation (PEDO) is operating four hydropower stations in Malakand, Swabi and Chitral that are generating 105 megawatts of electricity. Besides, power generation revenue of Rs 2.5 billion is also generated for the province through these power stations.
The department is working on conducting feasibility studies and construction of additional hydropower stations to increase power generation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
PEDO has conducted the pre-feasibility studies of 10 raw sites and these sites have been advertised for award to private sector.
Under Action Plan 2012-22, the organisation has started work on six hydel projects with installed capacity of 252 MW, ie 84 MW Gorkin Matiltan (Swat), 36 MW Daral Khwar (Swat), 41 MW Koto (Lower Dir), 11.8MW Karora (Shangla), 10.2 MW Jabori (Mansehra), 69 MW Lawi (Chitral).
Tendering phase of execution process is underway for 3 sites out of the six, ie 10.2 MW Jabori (Mansehra), 11.8 MW Karora (Shangla), 40.8 MW Koto (Lower Dir).
The paper said that various investment proposals are under consideration of provincial government for three projects with cumulative capacity of 426 MW, approved by ECNEC on December 31, 2013, on Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode which include 150 MW Sharmai (Dir), 144 MW Shusghai-Zhendoli (Chitral) and 132 MW Shogo Sin (Chitral).
Similarly, feasibility studies of the fifteen (15) hydro power projects have been completed and execution of 356 mini/micro hydel projects of 10kW-500kW capacity each has been started in Malakand and Hazara Divisions with 20% cost contribution by the community. The feasibility studies of 141 sites have been completed and construction work on 41 projects started. Out of which 20 projects will be completed by the end of July 2015.
Furthermore, in order to harness alternative energy resources for power generation work on solar energy projects has been started. Under this project 20 villages with a total of 5670 houses will be electrified through solar standalone home system in Central, Southern and Northern Districts of the province.
Under the plan, each household will be provided with two solar panel, two 100 Ampere batteries, two fans, three LED Lights and one mobile charger. To promote industries and economic growth, the provincial government has decided to divert power from Pehur Hydel Power Station to Gadoon Industrial Estate, and to establish industrial estate near generation units to provide cheap energy to the industries. In this regard, a consultancy was awarded to look into all available options. The consultancy report has been received and action is underway.
