Pakistan will increase production from nuclear energy to levels of 8,800 MW by 2030 and to 40,000 MW by 2050, says Dr. Ansar Parvez, head of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission.

Pakistan plans to build three new nuclear plants that will produce 8800 MW of electricity per annum by 2030, in order to get over an energy bottleneck causing 20-hour-long power blackouts daily.
Pakistan will increase electric production from nuclear energy to 8,800 MW levels by 2030 and to 40,000 MW by 2050, says Dr. Ansar Parvez, head of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC). "These figures may seem high, but still, there will be a 15 per cent deficiency in electricity supply in Pakistan."
Pakistan started building a new nuclear power plant (NPP), K-2, near Karachi, a portcity on the Arabian Sea coast, and will build two new NPPs, Chasma-1 and Chasma-2, in Multan, a city in central Pakistan. The electricity production from nuclear energy accounts for 5 per cent of the total electricity supply and the country has an annual electricity gap of 6,000 MW. The rural areas of the country experience 20-hours-long power blackouts daily whereas, even, the major cities experience around 6-hour blackouts.
Pakistan plans to produce 162,000 MW of electricity by 2030 according to an energy safety policy approved by the state in 2005.
Dr. Parvez, speaking on the nuclear disaster that struck Japan's Fukushima Daiichi NPP, said that Pakistan will pay the utmost attention to nuclear safety and will build the latest generation of reactors that are safer. "Germany and Switzerland are against nuclear energy but France and Russia heavily invest in it. Everybody is aware of the importance of nuclear energy and we do not want to be left behind."
The latest generation of reactors that Pakistan will invest could also provide the country with uranium milling capabilities, said Dr. Maria Sultan from South Asian Strategic Stability Institute.
Nuclear weapons
"The Pakistani people do not want nuclear weapons, and will not want them to be used in the future," said Dr. Parvez Butt, former head of PAEC. "We demand nuclear power for civic purposes."
Pakistan started to pursue nuclear deterrence capability following India's first nuclear device test, codenamed Smiling Buddha, in 1974, Pakistan's neighbor and arch rival. In 1998, Pakistan successfully detonated five nuclear devices, marking Pakistan's entry to a club of limited countries that have atomic bombs.
The pursuit for nuclear weapons left the already-impoverished Pakistan isolated from the international community with sanctions because of obtaining nuclear weapons. Pakistan, established in 1947 by seceding from British India, spent valuable resources on the nuclear program, which averted funds from much-need infrastructure investments for economic and social progress.

BC koi compleate ker ke bhi dikhao na ab thak gaay ailaan pardh pardh ker 1MW power increase nhi hoi abhi tak

These are big projects Imran bhai. They will take time to be completed.

Pakistan plans to produce 162,000 MW of electricity by 2030 according to an energy safety policy approved by the state in 2005.

^WTH??

Let's keep the 40k and 50k numbers aside and achieve a 5k-8k MW goal first by the end of the decade.

 

[farhan_9909]

162,000 MW by 2030?

Is it even possible by 2030?

 

[SafrizTheGreat]

162,000 MW by 2030?

Is it even possible by 2030?

162 Gigawatts is a bit too much i guess.

 

[ziaulislam]

162,000 MW by 2030?

Is it even possible by 2030?

well thats not the project depend.
the highest project depend by 2025 is 75k mw

anyway if govt implents 60k mw pre feasibility water projects then it may touch 100,000 bench mark but 160k is impossible to me

Why not to offer similar package to UAE which is committed of building 2 power plants in Gidani area to have two 1100-1200MW N-Plants in East and West Zone of the city along with two Mega Shipyards.

 

[Pakistanisage]

162,000 MW by 2030?

Is it even possible by 2030?

I think someone is shooting from the hip. We are currently at 21000 MW Production capacity and in fifteen years we will be producing 162,000 MW. What planet does this fellow live on ?

Why not offer UAE to have N-Power Plants in Gidani East and West Zones of capacity of 1500MW each. Like make a 10 years plan to add 300MW reactor unit in each side every 2 years. So that in coming 10 years Gidani would have a total of 3000MW of N-power.

Not gonna happen.... All they do is talk, sick n tired of such statements!!

bc pichlay 30 saal say yehi bakwaas suntay arahay hain aur agay say bakwaas sunanay ko milti hey "IT WILL TAKE TIME" agloon nay bc 200 floors ke Building khare karli hain 1 saal may ye 1MW nahe pedah karsakhay ...

 

[Path-Finder]

Solar Should based electricity should be taken more seriously by installing more solar panels on peoples properties similar to Germany that would take quite a load off things plus Chernobyl & Fukushima should not be taken lightly but Pakistan seems to have a good track record for Atomic Energy.

BC koi compleate ker ke bhi dikhao na ab thak gaay ailaan pardh pardh ker 1MW power increase nhi hoi abhi tak

hahaha... sahi baat hai... har roz govt ik naya power project ka ilaan ker rahi hai aj kal... lagta hai electrocoty muft kerny ka plan hai .... porra ik bhi ni hona is sy....

examples of some projects announced by PMLN govt...
Guddani power project
Quaid-e-Azam solar projects
Number of Coal projects in punjab.
Bhasha Dam
Bunji Dam
10 coal plants in Thar
nuclear power plants in karachi
checho ki maliyan project
nandipur power project
Number of wind Projects
i mean hell yar... look at them ..daily announcing new power projects... n loadshedding check kro 6 7 ghantey sy kam ni hoti...

They should try to offer To UAE to invest in N-Plants in Gidani area to make a plan of 10 years time for 1500MW plants in East and West zones. And adding 300MW in each zone of Gidani in 2 years time. So that after 10 years there will be about 3000MW of electricity for the city of Gidani.
