A BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT PRODUCTION OF ELECTRICITY IN PAKISTAN #2017 IN THESE SLIDES I BRIEFLY DESCRIBED ABOUT SOURCES OF ELECTRICITY IN PAKISTAN AND HOW AND WHERE THESE SOURCES ARE USED IN POWER SECTORS AND PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT ALL POWER STATIONS IN PAKISTAN.

1. ASSIGNMENT
GIVEN BY
SIR. AQIB SHAHZAD

2. BSEF17R08 UOS.GC
Pakistan’s energy infrastructure is not well developed. Currently the
country is facing severe energy crisis. Despite of strong economic growth and
rising energy demand during past decade, no serious efforts have been made to
install new capacity of generation. , there were two vertically integrated utilities,
i.e, KESC, which served the Karachi area and WAPDA which served the rest of
the country. Later on, WAPDA’s power wing has been structured into distinct
corporate entities comprising of 4 GENCOs, 10 DISCOs and one TransCO
(NTDC).
These 10 DISCOs are responsible for distribution to the end users. KESC meet its
overall demand with its own generation plus purchase from NTDC, IPPs and from
Karachi Nuclear Power Plant. The Current structure pf the power sector is shown
below. According to Wikipedia, Pakistan has an installed electricity generation
capacity of 25,100MW in 2017. But according to recent report of NTDC, Pakistan
has 30,881MW capacity.

Sources of Electricity:
There are many source of power and energy. But the
sources which take part in production of electricity in Pakistan are:
THERMAL Power
WIND POWER
SOLAR POWER
Hydel Power
Nuclear Power
Biodiesel
1-THERAMAL POWER:
Today more than 50% of electricity in Pakistan is
produced by thermal power generation. But these
plants have low conversion efficiencies and are
expensive to maintain and operate and Fossil fuel
mostly used in this process. At present, thermal
power generation stood at 8,300MW.

Wind Nuclear
Biodiesel
HydelThermal
Solar

4. BSEF17R08 UOS.GC
2-Wind Power:
Wind is renewable source of energy.
Wind power is capital intensive, but has
no fuel costs.
591MW electric power is produced by
wind power which makes up less than
0.1% of the total electricity production
in Pakistan.
The government is looking to increase
the share of renewable energy and
plans to add around 5,770MW of
electricity to its national grid by 2018.
SOURCE: www.pabausa.org
3-SOLAR POWER:
Solar power involves using solar cells to convert sunlight in to electricity. It is
renewable and fuel free source of energy. Pakistan has potential of more than
100,000 MW from solar energy. Quaid-e Azam Solar Park (QASP) in Bahawalpur is
largest solar power plant of Pakistan Its 1st
phase of QASP of 100 MW completed in
April 2015 and inaugurated in May 2015 and Approved to be upgraded to
1,500MW. QASP will be the biggest solar power project in the world. ALMOST 28
projects of 956.8 MW capacity are under development within the framework of
AEDB policies and procedures.Total install capacity by Solor Power is 730MW.

5. BSEF17R08 UOS.GC
4-HYDRO POWER:
Hydro power is generated by using electricity
generators to extract energy from moving water.
Pakistan is having rich resource of energy in hydro
power The total Hydro power resource in Pakistan
is estimated at about 50,000MW Most of the
resources are located in the North of the country.
However, total install capacity is 6595.03MW which
is only 34-35 % of total electricity generation of
Pakistan.
SOURCE: www.worldenergy.org
5-NUCLEAR POWER:
Nuclear power stations use nuclear fission reaction to generate energy by the
reaction of uranium inside a nuclear reactor. Pakistan has a small nuclear power
program, with 1355MWe capacity which is 3-6% of electricity generated in
Pakistan.

6. BSEF17R08 UOS.GC
6-BIODIESEL:
Biomass production involves using
garbage or other renewable resources
such as sugarcane, corn or other
vegetation to generate electricity.
When garbage decomposes, methane
is produced and captured in pipes and
later burned to produce electricity.
Vegetation and wood can be burned
directly to generate energy. IPPs has
some plant of this and its total install is
35,000KW.

PRODUCTION OF ELECTRICITY
The power sector in Pakistan is a mix of hydrel and thermal units dominated by two vertically
integrated public sector utilities that are Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA)
for all of Pakistan except Karachi, and the Karachi Electric Supply Corporation (KESC) for the
City of Karachi and its surrounding areas. There are a number of independent power producers
that contributes significantly in electricity generation in Pakistan. The Current structure pf the
power sector is shown below.
