National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) Determination of the Authority in the Matter of Application of K1 Solar Power Lahore (Private) Limited for the Grant of Generation Licence January 4°, 2020 Case No. LAG-450 (A). Background (i). In order to harness the potential of Renewable Energy (RE) resources in the country, the Government of Pakistan (GoP) formulated a policy titled Policy for Development of Renewable Energy for Power Generation 2006 (the "RE Policy"). The said policy had been in field since 2006 under which both Federal Government and the Provincial Governments had been supporting the implementation of RE projects in the country. (ii). In consideration of the above, the Federal and Provincial Governments had been issuing Letter of Intent (Lol) to various developers for setting up different type of RE projects across the country. In this regard, Govt. of Punjab (GoPb) through Punjab Power Development Board (PPDB) issued Lol to a consortium of ib Vogt GmbH and Milner Vermogensverwaltungs GmbH /the Sponsor(s) for setting up an approximately 15.00 MW solar based generation facility/Solar Power Plant/Solar Farm at Rakh Mankera, Tehsil Mankera, District Bhakkhar in the province of Punjab. In order to implement the project, the Sponsors got incorporated a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) in the name of K1 Solar Power Lahore (Private) Limited (K1SPLPL). (iii). According to the terms and conditions of the Lol, the Sponsors were required to carry out and complete the feasibility study of the project at internationally acceptable standards. In consideration of the said, the Sponsors hired the services of different consultants and completed the feasibility study of the project which was approved by the Panel of Exp appointed by Page 1 of 17 PPDB. After the said, K1SPLPL decided to approach the Authority for the grant of generation licence. (B). Filing of Application (i). K1SPLPL submitted an application on April 11, 2019 for the grant of generation licence in terms of Section-14B/Section-15 of Regulation of Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Electric Power Act, 1997 (the "NEPRA Act") read with the relevant provisions of the NEPRA Licensing (Application and Modification Procedure) Regulations, 1999 (the "Licensing Regulations"). (ii). The Registrar examined the submitted application to confirm its compliance with the Licensing Regulations and observed that the application lacked some of the required information/documentation. Accordingly, K1SPLPL was directed for submitting the missing information/documentation and the same was received on April 12, 2019. The Registrar submitted the application for the consideration of the Authority to decide the admission of the same or otherwise. The Authority considered the matter and found the form and content of the application in substantial compliance with Regulation-3 of the Licensing Regulations. Accordingly, the Authority admitted the application on May 23, 2019 for consideration of the grant of the generation licence as stipulated in Regulation- 7 of the Licensing Regulations. The Authority also approved a notice of admission to be published in the press for inviting comments of general public, interested and affected persons in the matter as stipulated in Regulation-8 of the Licensing Regulations. Accordingly, the said notices were published in one (01) Urdu and one (01) English newspapers on May 28, 2019. (iii). In addition to the above, the Authority also approved a list of stakeholders for seeking their comments for assistance of the Authority in the matter in terms of Regulation-9(2) of the Licensing Regulations. Accordingly, letters were sent to different stakeholders as per the approved list on May 28, 2019, soliciting their comments for assistance of the Authority. Page 2 of 17 (C). Comments of Stakeholders (i). In reply to the above, the Authority received comments from two (02) stakeholders including Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) and Central Power Purchasing Agency (Guarantee) Limited (CPPAGL). The salient points of the comments offered by the said stakeholders are summarized in the paragraphs as mentioned below:- (a). MoST submitted that company is planning to set up a Photovoltaic (PV) based generation facility/Solar Power Plant/Solar Farm with a cumulative installed capacity of 15.00 MW near Mankera, district Bhakkar which will help to prevent/overcome the shortfall of electricity. The type of technology for the PV cells being deployed is Mono Crystalline which is recommended. It is recommended that Tier-I manufacturer of the PV Cells should be selected for the project which should be IEC and UL certified; and (b). CPPAGL stated that it has neither issued any consent nor any Power Acquisition Request (PAR) in respect of the project being set up by the company. As per PC-4 (the Planning Code of the Grid Code), NTDC is required to prepare and submit to the Authority/NEPRA each year, a Ten-Year "Indicative Generation Capacity Expansion Plan (IGCEP)" covering 0-10 Year timeframe. The said plan identifies new capacity requirements, location and commissioning date which should satisfy Loss of Load Probability criteria, load growth forecast, operating reserve requirements, and other planning criteria. The Authority is required to be cognizant of the above provisions of the Grid Code while considering new addition of capacity into the national grid. The Cabinet Committee on Energy ("CCoE") has already decided that "...all projects based on wind, )iv Page 3 of 17 solar, small hydel and bagasse energy will be awarded through competitive bidding after the allocation of quota of RE by the Grid Code Review Panel. Accordingly, for any induction of additional capacity into the national grid, due consideration must be carried out at the NEPRA level prior to the grant of a generation license to the project. At present, any increase in capacity will place additional burden on the network as well as increase the financial impact on the end consumers. CPPAGL wishes to consider the induction of the proposed project into the system in view of the aforementioned. In light of the said, it is considered that the Authority must consider the application for grant of generation licence duly considering the demand vs. supply situation alongwith with the quantum of RE to be inducted in the National Grid. (ii). The Authority reviewed the above comments of the stakeholders and in view of the observations of MoST and CPPAGL, considered it appropriate to seek the perspective of K1SPLPL. On the observations of MoST, it was submitted that the Lol issued to the company, envisaged setting up an approximately 15.00 MWp project. The size of the project have been optimized to 14.96 MWp keeping in view of the constraints pertaining to nearby located 66/11 kV grid station of Mankera to which the generation facility will be connected. The company confirmed that the proposed PV cells would be Tier-I. (iii). About the comments of CPPAGL, it was stated the company is following the due process to get the consent of the Power Purchaser/CPPAGL and for filing PAR for which award of Generation Licence and award of tariff is a pre requisite. The Indicative generation plan and future demand forecast is the subject of Planning Department of NTDC which is to be approved by the Authority. The Govt. of Pakistan is considering the share of RE from existing 5% to 30% by 2030 in the total energy mix which will result in affordable electricity to the National Grid and reduction in burden to the end .:• er fuel adjust U./ REGISTRAR 4,05 S,•• Page 4 of 17 charges for solar, no imported fuel cost). The Lol under discussion was awarded to the consortium after participation in the bidding of fifty (50) public sites announced by PPDB in 2015. The sponsor/consortium was awarded the pre- qualification letter after competing with other companies through PPDB bidding process of time. The consortium fulfilled all the pre-requisites of Lol, but public land at Lahore near Manawan was not awarded because the board of PPDB decided that cost of the land is too high in the area.

WAHEED, M. YAQOOB* R. H. MIRZA Department of Livestock and Poultry Production, Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan Received 12th March 2018 and Revised 29th July 2018 Abstract: A study was planned to evaluate the production profile of Marecha camel maintained in desert ecosystem of Thal area, Tehsil Mankera of District Bhakkar, the Punjab. Different husbandry practices, milk production, calf rearing and the constraints faced by the Thal pastoralists affecting the camel production and management were studied through a pre tested questionnaire. A total of 100 farmers were interviewed by using a single-visit-multiple-subject diagnostic survey. Most of the camel herders were keeping Marecha camel. According to the farmer’s responses, the living status of camel herders has improved and the major source of income is the sale of milk, meat, animals and crop cultivation. Many of the herders kept their camels in semi-open housing system and took them for grazing from morning till evening along with stall-feeding. The mean daily milk yield was found to be 5.62±0.27 kg. Birth weight of male and female calves was found to be 37.96±0.55 and 32.39±0.22 kg, respectively. Calf mortality, traditional way of husbandry practices, poor extension services, lack of attractive market and value chain services were the major constraints affecting camel production.

  • Historical Geography of the Punjab
    1 Grewal: Historical Geography Historical Geography of the Punjab J. S. Grewal Formerly Director, Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla ________________________________________________________________ Working on a broad canvas, this paper provides a comprehensive introduction to the historical region of Punjab. Starting with references in the Rigveda, the region has undergone many administrative changes. Using early sources, the paper reconstructs the settlement patterns, changing life of the people across the five Doabs and the emergence of distinct religious communities. In the latter half, the paper traces the development of different languages, dialects and the rich tradition of Punjabi literature. ________________________________________________________________ I An eminent historian who has taken interest in the historical geography of India has indicated its scope with reference to geography as an academic discipline. He looks upon Geography as conventionally divided into physical and human. The former relates to physical configuration of the earth’s surface, its climatic conditions, and the way it is occupied by water, land, vegetation and animal life. The latter relates to demographic distribution, the pattern of states, and economic features like the distribution of natural resources, land utilization, production centres, trade and transportation. Thus, almost every aspect of ‘human existence and endeavor’ comes under the umbrella of human, also called cultural geography. Historical geography aims at reconstructing the geographies of the past, studying changes in features of physical and human geography over time. It also studies how geographical features have formed the contexts of historical events or process.1 For historical geography of the Punjab we have to define the region first. Though it is assumed to be clearly defined, there has been no unanimity among historians and other social scientists about the space called ‘the Punjab’.
