PAKISTAN - AN OVERVIEW OF THE POWER SECTOR

Pakistan, a progressive nation with a buoyant economy, is situated in one of the most important economic zones of the world and offers an excellent combination of natural and human resources for the prospective investor. Spread over almost 800,000 square kilometers, with a population of approximately 150 million, the country is located on the crossroads of Africa, Middle East and Central Asia.

1.1

POWER SECTOR IN PAKISTAN

The generation, transmission, distribution and retail supply of electricity in Pakistan is presently undertaken by two vertically integrated public sector utilities, with significant contribution to generation from various private Independent Power Producers (IPPs). These utilities are the Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) and the Karachi Electricity Supply Corporation (KESC). WAPDA supplies power to all of Pakistan, except the metropolitan city of Karachi Public 70% Private 30% and some of its surrounding areas which are supplied by KESC. Power Wing of WAPDA is being restructured with the ultimate goal of privatizing it to make Power Sector strong and vibrant through enhancing efficiency to meet the needs of the consumers. The transmission systems of WAPDA and KESC are Fig 1: Public & Private Power Producers interconnected through 220 kV double circuit transmission line. Presently, the total installed electricity generation capacity in the country is about 19478 MW. In the total installed capacity, the share of public sector is around 70%, and the private sector is 30%. The rising share of private sector in electricity generation and presence of some of the leading foreign and local companies in this business, speak volumes about Pakistan being an ideal investment destination. Currently, there are 16 IPPs Table 1: Transmission Lines in in the country, which have been implemented on a Build, Sr. No. Voltage Level Length in Km Own and Operate (BOO) basis, mainly under the private 1 500 kV 4160 power policy announced by the GOP in 1994. 2 220 kV 6125 3 132 kV 25881 Transmission of electricity takes place at voltages of 500kV, 4 66 kV 7376 220kV, 132kV, 66kV and 33kV and distribution to at 11kV. Total = 43542 The lengths of the transmission lines of various voltage level is shown in Table 1. Presently, the total electricity generation capacity available in the public and private sector is sufficient to meet the future power demand upto 2004-2005 but it is envisaged that in near future there will be a huge gap between demand and supply of electricity. The demand/supply projections indicate that power shortages will appear in the country from the year 2005-06. These shortages are expected to increase to 5500 MW in the year 2010.

To develop and implement 450 MW Lakhra Coal Mine & Power Generation Project, WAPDA, PPIB, NEPRA and SCA are the relevant players. 1.3.1 WAPDA which was created in 1958 is at an advanced stage of corporatization and its function as power purchaser has been assigned to National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC). Power generation from 140 MW Lakhra Coal Power Project will be purchased by NTDC which is the distribution company in the project area. NEPRA is the overall regulator of power sector. The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has been established for regulation of electric power generation, transmission and distribution in Pakistan. NEPRA, as far as practicable, protects the interests of consumers and companies providing electric power services. SCA was established in 1993 to explore, exploit, develop and utilize the vast indigenous coal resources of Sindh. The main objective of SCA is to attract potential investors to establish integrated project of coal-mining and coal fired power plants in Sindh. SCA provides one-window facility and preliminary data required for coal mining and coal fired power plants. PPIB was created in 1994 to act as One-Window organization to, inter alia: facilitate the implementation of IPPs under various private power policies announced by the GOP from time to time; issue bidding documents and letters of award to the successful bidders, negotiate, execute and administer the implementation agreements and guarantees there under on behalf of the GOP; and monitor the performance of IPPs, WAPDA, KESC, fuel suppliers and other government agencies under various contracts. At its credit PPIB has a success story of successful implementation of fifteen (15) Private Sector Power Projects in Pakistan with a cumulative capacity of 5577 MW. Following are the main functions of PPIB: To provide One-Window facility to investors in the private power sector by acting as a one stop organization on behalf of all ministries, departments and agencies of the GOP in matters relating to establishing power projects in the private sector. To issue Letters of Interest (LOIs) and Letters of Support (LOSs) on behalf of the GOP, and execute Implementation Agreements (IAs). To negotiate the IA and provide support in negotiating Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Fuel (Coal) Supply Agreement (FSA), Water and other related agreements. To provide Sovereign Guarantee to IPPs for the performance of Power Purchaser.

GENERAL GEOLOGY

Lakhra coal field is doubly plunging anticline, known as Lakhra Anticline. Its axis runs in NorthEast direction, folding is very gentle and the dip of the strata not exceeds 7 degrees. There are group of faults almost parallel to the anticline axis. The fault dips at high angles with small down throw. Geologically the coal bearing strata are of tertiary period. The upper coal bearing strata is important and contains workable coal seams. Lakhra coal is associated with the Bara Formation of late Paleocene age.

4.15 HISTORY AND BACKGROUND

As early as 1855 Baluch nomads during the course of sinking water well struck coal bed in Lakhra area. After that many geological investigations have been carried out in the Lakhra area by national and international organizations. Interest in large scale exploration of coal for power generation began to develop in the early 1960 when the Geological Survey of Pakistan and United States Geological Survey performed a systematic geological investigation of the area. Pakistan Industrial Development Corporation carried out various tests and found Lakhra coal suitable for power generation. In 1996 a Polish firm carried out a mining and power generation feasibility study on Lakhra coal. In 1978 JICA carried out additional technical, financial and economical feasibility study and concluded that a 300 MW plant is technically feasible. Then Government of Pakistan asked USAID to review all studies and to carry out independent study for the establishment of a coal fired power station based on Lakhra coal. In 1986 USAID completed the study and concluded that a Lakhra coal mine, supplying coal for 2 x 250 MW power plant is technically sound, and economically and environmentally feasible.

EARLY INVESTIGATION/STUDY FOR LAKHRA COAL

John T. Boyd Company (JTB) of US completed a detailed feasibility study in 1986 for the development of a coal mine in Lakhra in the designated area to supply coal to 2 x 250 MW coal fired power plant, whereas, Gilbert/Commonwealth International Inc. (GCCI) carried out feasibility of the proposed power plant. The studies have shown that it is technically feasible and economically competitive with other power generation alternatives to develop the coal mine and to construct 2 x 250 MW coal fired power plant based on Lakhra coal. The map of the designated area of the Lakhra coal-field is enclosed.
