| Electricity produced in Pakistan is from three main sources. 1). Hydral 2). Thermal (Gas/Steam/Furnace Oil) 3). Nuclear There are four major power producers in country which include Water & Power Development Authority (WAPDA), Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC), Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC). Below is the break-up of the installed capacity of each of these power producers (as of June-2008). 1. WAPDA a.

Independent Power Producers (IPPs) Hub Power Project 1292 MW AES Lalpir Ltd, Mahmood Kot MuzaffarGarh 362 MW AES Pak Gen, Mahmood Kot MuzaffarGarh 365 MW Altern Energy Ltd, Attock 29 MW Fauji KabirWala Power Company, Khanewal 157 MW Gul Ahmad Energy Ltd, Korengi 136 MW Habibullah Coastal Power Ltd 140 MW Japan Power Generation, Lahore 120 MW Koh-e-Noor Energy Ltd, Lahore &n bsp; 131 MW Liberty Power Limited, Ghotki 232 MW Rousch Power, Khaniwal 412 MW Saba Power Company, Sheikhpura 114 MW Southern Electric Power Company Ltd, Raiwind 135 MW Tapal Energy Limited, Karachi &n bsp; 126 MW Uch Power Ltd, Dera Murad Jamali, Nasirabad 586 MW Attock Gen Ltd, Morgah Rawalpindi 165 MW Atlas Power, Sheikhpura 225 MW Engro Energy Ltd, Karachi ----- MW & nbsp; Kot Addu Power Company Limited (Privitized) 1638 MW Total (IPPs) ===> 6365 MW 4. Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission KANUPP 137 MW CHASNUPP-1 325 MW Total (Nuclear) ===> 462 MW Hydal Electricity generated by WAPDA varies between two extremities i.e. between minimum of 2414 MW and maximum of 6761 MW depending upon the river flow through the whole year. Total Power Generation Capacity of Pakistan (including all sources) is 19855 MW and the electricity demand (as of today 20-04-2010) is 14500 MW and PEPCO is merely generating 10000 MW. So it is obvious that these 15-20 hrs power shutdowns in most parts of the country are not because of the lack of generation capacity but only because of IMF / World Bank policies imposed on our nation by Govt. The Power Generation companies are not buying Furnace Oil from PSO by saying they don't have money to do that but we are all paying for Electricity that is generated from Furnace Oil. This is the reason that top refineries like PRL are operating at 40% capacities. IMF / World bank has imposed to reduce budget deficit by importing less crude oil. But due to this fact all our industries are under severe crisis. None of our political party who are in Assembly is ready to speak on it because every one is blessed by US / IMF / World Ban k. Dear Pakistani's, This is a time to show your social activism your power and strength. It is your silence which is deafening and your couldn't care less attitude which makes the people in power more powerful evasive and secure in their Air conditioned offices. PLEASE STAND UP AND BE COUNTED: Please don't stop this e-mail and forward it to as many people as possible. Thanks WE WANT ELECTRICITY IN PAKISTAN. Electricity now is @11 Rs. per unit, and it will increase after every two months as directed by (American) IMF policies. Also CHINA offers to Pakistan Electricity for just Rs.200 Monthly Bill and Unlimited Usage of Electricity but our government is not taking the offer seriously. This is because there will be neither kick backs nor any commissions to be pocketed by the strong mafia of politicians and bureaucrats. These people are there because of your votes. Let them serve you rather than rule you…… |
