Study Type BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND NEED ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPOSED Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA). PROJECT Study Title ESIA of BQPS-III 900 MW RLNG Based Combined Cycle Power Project Pakistan is in the midst of a severe energy crisis that largely stemmed from mismanagement of natural (BQPS-III RING CCPP). resources in the country. Weak regulatory and pricing mechanisms in the natural gas sector have led to huge disparities between demand and supply. Pakistan has a large demand for natural gas and a Location Port Qasim, Karachi Pakistan. well-established gas market and distribution system. At present, demand of natural gas is estimated at around 8 Billion Cubic Feet (BCF) against a total supply of 4 BCF, creating a shortfall of 4 BCF. Project Proponent K-Electric. Project Consultant Global Environmental Management Services (Pvt) Ltd. (GEMS) As per Pakistan Gas Supply-Demand Study conducted in 2012 by ILF Beratendelngenieure GmbH, over the next 17 years gas demand is projected to stand at 11.73 BCFD, while domestic supplies are expected to reach the level of 4.94 BCFD resulting in a huge shortfall of about 6.79 BCFD by FY 2030. This report discusses the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) of K-Electric, BQPS-III The analysis was done considering the existing and planned capacity. Below given Exhibit shows the 900 MW RLNG Based Combined Cycle Power Project. The report also analyzes the impacts associated yearly natural gas supply-demand project. A base case scenario is considered based on existing with the construction and operational phase of the proposed project and its surroundings, suggest scenario i.e. business as usual. mitigation measures, and identify residual impact which needs monitoring.
