Facts About Pakistant----- Energy Managemnet

Post by touchme » May 29, 2010 Views: 1344

Read & Think about yourself

Electricity produced in Pakistan is from three main sources.

1). Hydral
2). Thermal (Gas/Steam/Furnace Oil)
3). Nuclear

There are four major power producers in country which include Water & Power Development Authority (WAPDA), Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC), Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC).


Below is the break-up of the installed capacity of each of these power producers (as of June-2008).

1) WAPDA

a) WAPDA Hydral


Terbela 3478 MW


Mangla 1000 MW


Ghazi-Brotha 1450 MW


Warsak 243 MW


Chashma 184 MW


Dargai 20 MW


Rasul 22 MW


Shadi-Waal 18 MW


NandiPur 14 MW


Kurram Garhi 4 MW


Renala 1 MW


Chitral 1 MW


Jagran (AK) 30 MW


Total hydal ==> 6461 MW

b) WAPDA Thermal


Gas Turbine Power Station, Shadra 59 MW


Steam Power Station, Faisalabad 132 MW


Gas Turbine Power Station, Faisalabad 244 MW


Gas Power Station, Multan 195 MW


Thermal Power Station, Muzaffargarh 1350 MW


Thermal Power Station, Guddu 1655 MW


Gas Turbine Power Station, Kotri 174 MW


Thermal Power Station, Jamshoro 850 MW


Thermal Power Station, Larkana 150 MW


Thermal Power Station, Quetta 35 MW


Gas Turbine Power Station, Panjgur 39 MW


Thermal Power Station, Pasni 17 MW


Total Thermal ==> 4811 MW

WAPDA's Total Hydal + Thermal capacity is 11272 MW.

2). Karachi Electric Supply Company


Thermal Power Station, Korengi 316 MW


Gas Turbine Power Station, Korengi 80 MW


Gas Turbine Power Station, SITE 100 MW


Thermal Power Station, Bin Qasim 1260 MW



Total (KESC) ==> 1756 MW


3). Independent Power Producers (IPPs)


Hub Power Project 1292 MW


AES Lalpir Ltd, Mahmood Kot MuzaffarGarh 362 MW


AES Pak Gen, Mahmood Kot MuzaffarGarh 365 MW


Altern Energy Ltd, Attock 29 MW


Fauji KabirWala Power Company, Khanewal 157 MW


Gul Ahmad Energy Ltd, Korengi 136 MW


Habibullah Coastal Power Ltd 140 MW


Japan Power Generation, Lahore 120 MW


Koh-e-Noor Energy Ltd, Lahore 131 MW


Liberty Power Limited, Ghotki 232 MW


Rousch Power, Khaniwal 412 MW


Saba Power Company, Sheikhpura 114 MW


Southern Electric Power Company Ltd, Raiwind 135 MW


Tapal Energy Limited, Karachi 126 MW


Uch Power Ltd, Dera Murad Jamali, Nasirabad 586 MW


Attock Gen Ltd, Morgah Rawalpindi 165 MW


Atlas Power, Sheikhpura 225 MW


Engro Energy Ltd, Karachi ----- MW


Kot Addu Power Company Limited (Privitized) 1638 MW



Total (IPPs) ===> 6365 MW

4). Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission


KANUPP 137 MW


CHASNUPP-1 325 MW


Total (Nuclear) ===> 462 MW








Hydral Electricity generated by WAPDA varies between two extremities i.e. between minimum of 2414 MW and maximum of 6761 MW depending upon the river flow through the whole year.

Total Power Generation Capacity of Pakistan (including all sources) is 19855 MW and the electricity demand (as of today 24-05-2010) is 15200 MW and PEPCO is merely generating 12500 MW.

So it is obvious that these 8 to 14 hrs power shutdowns in most parts of the country are not because of the lack of generation capacity but only because of poor policies imposed on our corrupt leadership with no vision.


The Power Generation companies are not buying Furnace Oil from PSO by saying they dont have money to do that but we are all paying for Electricity that is generated from Furnace Oil. This is the reason that top refineries like PRL are operating at 40% capacities. IMF / World bank has imposed to reduce budget deficit by importing less crude oil. But due to this fact all our industries are under severe crisis.
