الحمدللہ پاکستان کے لیے تاریخی دن...
پاکستانیوں کو مبارک باد...
کوئلے سے بجلی پیدا کرنے کا خواب پورا ہوا. پاکستان کے پہلے کول پاور پلانٹ نے کامیابی سے اپنا کام شروع کردیا ہے اور نیشنل گرڈ کو بجلی کی فراہمی شروع ہوچکی ہے. ان شاءاللہ وہ دن اب دور نہیں جب پاکستان کے اندھیرے اجالے میں بدل جائیں گے.
الحمدللہ یااللہ تیری کس کس نعمت کے لیے شکر ادا کریں.
پاک چین دوستی زندہ باد

Did you care to look at the numbers in the table ? If the reserves were 185 billion Pakistan would be number two in the world in terms of coal reserves. Feel free to make that claim in any industry or trade publication.
In 2040. China will be still fullfilling 32% of its energy needs through coal.
more pollution yaayyyyy!!!!
that reason was lack of cheaper material, technology and production..just like mobile phones were not used in 1990s!!.. i brought solar pannel for my village it cost me 7rs/unit on return of 10 years(this inculdes inventor and batteries!!!) while coal from thar is costing 8 cents/unit..on RR of 20 years!
so i am talking from personal experience, sure you can google it and find gizzlions of links supporting my claim
Indeed. This is the first 330MW unit of 660MW power plant with second one getting operational in April. I hope we work on more low price Coal powered generation plants and add 2000MW to 3000MW in next three to four years. All hydro power projects will take time to complete and gas/LNG have been VERY expensive.
more pollution yaayyyyy!!!!
Read the posts; this is the cleanest coal power stations you will find.
US and Chinese coal stations are far worse, and far more numerous.
I still worry about the effect of the mounting circular debt plaguing the power sector. Adding additional generating capacity is comparatively the easy part.
The main concern is to make sure that new facilities can recover their investment costs. Rates can not be artificially lowered below what the actual costs to produce the power. This has been a problem with the oil fired generation. The true costs to generate electricity from oil are many times what the public rate is. The utilities have to bear the cost of the difference. This is unsustainable. Let's not put are new coal plants in the same position, if it costs $.07 kw/h to generate power in Thar, then that's what should be charged. We need to ignore the socialist calls to set the price lower then the extraction costs. That would be a disaster. Encourage efficiency and good management to lower costs. We don't need another PIA or Karachi steel mill.
Fantastic news! Keep building these coal powered plants and ignore the environmentalists. It's a matter of survival and a few of these plants are not going to kill our children.
This is from GE's own articles.
Buried 1,000 feet below the parched Thar Desert in Pakistan lies more fuel energy than all the known oil in Iran and Saudi Arabia combined. Just a small fraction of this 175-billion-ton lignite coal reserve is plentiful enough to supply one-fifth of Pakistan’s current energy levels for 50 years.

There is an energy crisis in Pakistan, but the solution is literally underfoot: A local supply of approximately 180 billion tons of lignite—a type of soft coal. For a country looking to become energy self-sufficient, Pakistan’s lignite reserves are practically a gold mine.

Pakistan has about 180 billion tons of lignite reserves and GE’s technology can help the country use the indigenous resource instead of importing more expensive fuels to increase energy independence and save foreign exchange reserves.
Our busted engined cars, vans and buses pollute way way more .. environmentalists should focus on those first and legislation on emission control is required first and foremost. These plants are clean and not a concern.
Can you quit being stupid ? GE does not perform the geological surveys of estimating coal reserves. They are not in the business.
They get data from geological surveys. They won't invest if there is no profit return.
It is not GE's core area of expertise. Do not quote a GE document on coal reserves
Lignite is past plant life compressed.
