  • Wapda to Add 364 Mw to National Gird This Year
    WAPDA TO ADD 364 MW TO NATIONAL GIRD THIS YEAR By Mansoor Ahmad Lahore : The Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) would add 364 MW of hydroelectricity this year in the power supply system of the national grid, the chairman of the authority told The News on Wednesday. “WAPDA is also working on projects that will generate 35,500 MW of hydroelectricity including 22,800 MW run of the river projects”, said. “We are committed to ensure that Pakistan takes full advantage of its hydroelectricity production potential”, he said. The first unit of 96 MW hydropower project at Jinnah Barrage has already been commissioned and it would start operating on full capacity by the end of this year, he said. Durrani said that the 130 MW Allai Khwar project at Battagram is almost complete and would start generating power within few months. “Duber Khwar – a 130 MW hydroelectric project at Kohistan, is scheduled to generate full power by December 2012”, he added. In addition Satpara Dam is generating 17.36 MW of hydroelectricity. The 72 MW Khan Khwar hydropower project in 2011 is already generating its installed capacity, Durrani said. “This is a humble contribution of WAPDA to reduce the gap between demand and supply of electricity”, he said. Work on high capacity hydroelectricity projects is in full swing. He said the feasibility study and detailed engineering and design of 7,100 MW Bunji project in Gilgit Baltistan has been completed and is currently under review of WAPDA experts. He said feasibility study of Dasu Dam in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been completed.

  • Environmental and Economic Impacts of the Belt and Road Initiative on Pakistan’S Energy Sector
    ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE ON PAKISTAN’S ENERGY SECTOR by Carley Reynolds, Tara Stout, Xiaoguan Wang Dr. Ericka Weinthal, Advisor April, 23, 2018 Client: Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions Dr. Elizabeth Losos, Dr. Lydia Olander, Sara Mason Masters project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Environmental Management degree in the Nicholas School of the Environment of Duke University Abstract In 2013, China announced the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which broadly aims to interconnect over 65 countries in Asia, Europe and Africa through infrastructure investment and economic development. A flagship component of BRI, the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), has a strong focus on energy infrastructure development. Currently, coal-fired plants constitute half of announced CPEC energy generation projects and 69% of capacity, throwing doubt on the environmentally friendly rhetoric surrounding the BRI initiative. This paper seeks to understand the cost and feasibility of using alternative technologies and a different energy mix as compared to emission-intensive CPEC energy projects. The levelized cost of electricity, CO2 emissions, and SO2 emissions were calculated for current CPEC projects using information gathered from Pakistan generation licenses and tariff documents. Generalized plants, based on current projects and other Pakistan power projects, were then used to build an optimization model around LCOE and emissions under different constraints Model results show that there were more cost effective and less polluting options using large re-gasified liquid natural gas plants and hydro projects. A literature review suggests that political and economic situations originating in China, as well as political factors in Pakistan, contribute to the use of coal over other technologies.

  • 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.

This would be achieved by installing a 2,160 MW hydropower plant on the main Indus River, which can be expanded to 4,320 MW in future with very low cost.

  • Water Resources and Conservation Strategy of Pakistan
    ©The Pakistan Development Review 46 : 4 Part II (Winter 2007) pp. 997–1009 Water Resources and Conservation Strategy of Pakistan * AYAZ AHMED , HENNA IFTIKHAR , and G. M. CHAUDHRY 1. INTRODUCTION Water is one of the basic necessities of life. God has gifted Pakistan with abundant water resources, with rivers flowing down the Himalayas and Karakoram heights from the world’s largest glaciers and free and unique bounty for this land. Pakistan is basically an agrarian economy. Out of its total geographical area of 79.61 million hectares, cultivated area is 22.05 million hectares. The total area under irrigation is 19.02 million hectares [Agricultural Statistics of Pakistan (2005-06)]. Irrigated land supplies more than 90 percent of agricultural production and most of the country’s food. Agriculture sector is regarded as the backbone of Pakistan’s economy. It contributes 25 percent of the GDP. About more than 50 percent labour force is employed in this sector. Agriculture sector is also the major user of water and its consumption will continue to dominate water requirement. Similarly, for industrial development main source of energy is hydropower which is generated by dint of water stored in big dams and reservoirs. Therefore the importance of the water for the survival of our economy cannot be denied. The objective of this paper is to analyse in-depth the water resources and conservation strategies for Pakistan. Some scholars have recognised the integrative effects of partition on water resource governance in Pakistan. In Pakistan, Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) was established to build and operate major dams and canal constructed by Indus Basin Development Programme.
