Re-gasified LNG power plants approved for Punjab

[daring dude]

ISLAMABAD:
The federal government has cleared the country’s first two re-gasified Liquefied Natural Gas-fired power plants, with a combined generation capacity of 2400 megawatts, at an estimated cost of Rs.169.6 billion in efforts to reduce long hours of power outages.

The government has an initial estimate that each project will cost Rs84.8 billion including a Rs68.1-billion loan that will be arranged from China.

Headed by Federal Minister for Planning and Development, Ahsan Iqbal, the CDWP constituted the committee that will be comprised of member Energy, Member Infrastructure of Planning Commission, and representatives of Ministry of Water and Power and Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited.

Both combined cycle power plants will be set up in Punjab. One is located at Balloki, District Kasur and the second one is located at Haveli Bahadur Shah, District Jhang.

After spending energy resources on planning to setup coal-based power plants, the government has lately decided to focus on LNG, arguing that LNG was cheaper fuel and would comparatively consume less time in implementation. The Planning Ministry said that both the projects will be completed within two years.

The government plans to finance these power plants from the Public Sector Development Programme. However, the initial indicative ceiling of Rs580 billion for the next year’s PSDP suggests that the envelope would not be sufficient to carry out work on over a 1,000 projects including these cost-intensive schemes.

The CDWP took up 30 development projects, valuing around Rs300 billion, said the Ministry of Planning.

very nice .

Very Costly stay away.

and then this project will be finished in 2098

[daring dude]

they can get the chance to earn billions out of this project again, So #PMNS thinking is to adopt some projects, develop them, put thousands and make billions of it for their foreign accounts... and like that Nawaz and zardari's party is working...

they just only bla bla bla 8 years gone of load shedding and we are looking only this new that news . damn if they aded 5000mw since then today no shortage . buy wind tunnels and instal near every city and give direct power to a city job done in few months but they will add every single mw in fuc-king national grid and don't know where its go after that

LNG power plants are combined cycles ones and given the availability of long term LNG contact, the production costs can be fixed or bound in a range.

you can not . You have to import gas which is subject to international prize. Your currency is going down. That is a big disadvantage too.

Do u have any idea how electricity is generated and what are costs related to them?

after what pakistanis face they know one to all

It is not as easy as u think. Best time for big generation was during Gen. Musharraf era. Before or after that it is very difficult. Don't u see why we can't get gas from Iran when even their side pipelines are already built?

Their are several other renewable types their, and mostly being planned and worked out earlier also.... Like Getting energy from BioGas as only Karachi's Bhains colony generate millions of tons daily, or Turning garbage in to Electric energy-that will reduce plastic wastage into sea by recycling it...
other ways are Solar (Various types available that is already materialized worldwide, even in Abu dhabi also)
Wind Turbine or Tunnels, Desalination with getting water and electricity...
