Development Coordination Energy Sector Reforms and Financial Sustainability Program (RRP PAK 53165) DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION A. Major Development Partners: Strategic Foci and Key Activities 1. The Integrated Energy Sector Recovery Report1 finalized in October 2010 by the task force of Friends of Democratic Pakistan acted as a guide to direct the investments of international financing institutions to priority subsectors and projects so that an integrated recovery of the energy sector could take place in the shortest possible time.2 The development partners engaged with the Government of Pakistan in the energy sector are the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Agence Française de Développement (AFD), the European Union, European Investment Bank, Islamic Development Bank, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), KfW, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the World Bank, with Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank and the Export-Import Bank of Korea as the new entrants in the sector. 2. As Pakistan’s largest financier3 among development partners in the energy sector, ADB provides financing assistance to ensure energy security for the country and to support the government in transforming the development and operation of the country’s energy sector following market-based principles. ADB provides broad support to the power subsector— including power generation, transmission, and distribution. ADB financing to the energy sector in 2019 is $2.2 billion, which is 40% of the active portfolio of ADB financing to Pakistan. ADB has also supported policy and governance through three subprograms of the Sustainable Energy Sector Reform Program (2014–2017) aligned with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) with cofinancing from the World Bank, JICA, and AFD. 3. The World Bank provides funding for the improvement of energy distribution and transmission capacity, hydro power and renewable generation, energy efficiency, intra- and interregional power trade, and water resource management. In 2017, the IMF concluded a support program under the Extended Fund Facility for a $6.6 billion loan to stabilize the economy and boost growth, including energy sector reforms, and approved another $6.0 billion loan in July 2019 to support the government’s economic reform program.4 The transmission network system enhancement is supported by AFD, JICA, KfW, and USAID. Besides the transmission segment, KfW and AFD focus on renewable energy and energy efficiency as well as investing in small to medium-scale hydro power plants, power substations, and off-grid solutions. USAID’s ongoing support to the sector is limited compared with the assistance provided since 2008, and mainly emphasizes development of efficient systems in all subsectors of the energy sector. The Islamic Development Bank is supporting energy generation projects and providing a facility to the government to purchase petroleum products. 1 Friends of Democratic Pakistan–Energy Sector Task Force. 2010. Integrated Energy Sector Recovery Report and Plan. Islamabad. 2 Friends of Democratic Pakistan has 26 members. In addition to Pakistan, these are ADB, Australia, Canada, the People’s Republic of China, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Iran, the Islamic Development Bank, the European Union, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Netherlands, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United Nations, United States, and the World Bank. 3 Since 2005, ADB has provided almost $8 billion to finance sovereign loan commitments, nonsovereign operations, and technical assistance projects in the country. 4 The reform program aims to (i) reduce public debt and build resilience, (ii) expand social spending, (iii) introduce a flexible market-determined exchange rate as a buffer against external shocks, (iv) eliminate quasi-fiscal losses and encourage investments in the power subsector, and (v) increase governance and promote an investment-friendly environment through structural reforms. 2 Major Development Partners Development Amount Partner Project Name

Source: Asian Development Bank. B. Institutional Arrangements and Processes for Development Coordination 4. ADB, as the largest and anchor development partner, facilitates the interaction between the energy sector development partners by hosting regular meetings to coordinate policy dialogue and discuss sector and project issues. The development partners in the last meeting in June 2019 were updated on the assistance being provided by ADB to the government in preparing the electricity policy (2019–2023) and electricity plan. The government has recently reached a staff level agreement with the IMF, under the Extended Fund Facility, to curtail the energy sector’s burden on the annual state budget and to stem its negative impact on economic growth. ADB and the World Bank have been requested by the IMF to provide sector analysis as an input to their periodic reviews and program formulation. 5. The program builds on lessons from previous ADB and development partner investments in Pakistan and the successes generated by their complementary approaches and multipartner dialogue.

  • Application of a 1D Numerical Model for Sediment Management in Dasu Hydropower Project
    Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Environmental Science and Technology Rhodes, Greece, 3-5 September 2015 APPLICATION OF A 1D NUMERICAL MODEL FOR SEDIMENT MANAGEMENT IN DASU HYDROPOWER PROJECT REHMAN S.A.1, RIAZ Z.2, BUI M.D.1 and RUTSCHMANN P.1 1 Chair of Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering, Arcisstr. 21, TU Munich, 80333 Munich, Germany, 2 National and Development Consultants, 28-M, Quaid-e-Azam-Industrial Estate Lahore, Pakistan E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A one dimensional numerical model for the sediment study of the Dasu hydropower project (HPP), before constructing the Bhasha Diamer dam, is presented in this paper. Several formulae were used for sediment simulations under no flushing condition, maintaining reservoir water level at a full supply level (FSL) of 950 m asl. The preliminary assessment for both flushing methods, pressure flow flushing and free flow flushing was carried out. The validity of the model was checked with the Brune´s formula. The simulation result showed that without flushing, low level outlets and power intakes would be filled with the sediments between, 20-25 years. It was also observed that free low flushing, after minimum 15 years of dam commissioning, is more efficient compared to pressure flow flushing. It is recommended that without construction on any upstream reservoir, sedimentation is a severe problem for the Dasu HPP or any downstream run-of-river power plant. Keywords: Reservoir sedimentation, sediment management, Dasu dam, HEC-RAS 1. Introduction Sedimentation is one of the most challenging carry-over problems in hydraulic engineering (McCully, 1996). On a worldwide scale, dam reservoirs silt up at a rate of about 1% of their useful storage volume every year.

Given their importance and the huge investment, assessments of current UIB sediment load and possible future changes are crucial for informed decisions on planning of optimal dams’ operation and ensuring their prolonged lifespan. In this regard, the daily suspended sediment loads (SSLs) and their changes are analyzed for the meltwater-dominated zone up to the Partab Bridge and the whole UIB up to Besham Qila, which is additionally influenced by monsoonal rainfall. The gaps between intermittent suspended sediment concentration (SSC) samples are filled by wavelet neural networks (WA-ANNs) using discharges for each site. The temporal dynamics of SSLs and discharges are analyzed using a suite of three non-parametric trend tests while the slope is identified using Sen’s slope estimator. We found disproportional spatio-temporal trends between SSLs and discharges caused primarily by intra-annual shifts in flows, which can lead to increased trap efficiency in planned reservoirs, especially upstream of Besham Qila.
