Qasim Plant generates more than 5 billion kWh of electricity in 2020
Qasim Coal Power Plant, invested and constructed by Power Construction Corporation of China, has generated more than 5 billion kWh in 2020, setting a record for the annual cumulative power generation since the plant was put into operation.
In 2020, the annual generating capacity of Qasim Plant reached 5 billion kilowatts earlier than usual.The 2018 cumulative power generation reached this node in early October of that year, and in 2019 it was moved forward to August 27th.
Impacted by COVID-19 pandemic, national economy has been stuck. Under the severe context, Qasim Plant generated more than 2.264 billion kWh in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of 455 million kWh over the same period last year.
On May 22, 2020 annual power generation of the power station reached 3.5 billion kWh, and the cumulative power generation since its commissioning exceeded 20 billion kWh. As of June 10, the cumulative annual power generation of Kasim Power Station exceeded 4 billion kWh.
In this month, Qasim Plant also saw a breakthrough in expanding the coal sources. Affected by COVID-19 epidemic, South Africa and Indonesia, the two major coal sources for Qasim project, have been port locked down. The continuous operation of the plant is threatened.
In order to protect domestic own coal resources and diversify coal sources, after a long-term endeavour by Qasim project, a new coal source country was established. On July 11th, the first batch of coal imported from the new coal source country reached Qasim Port.
Qasim Coal Power Plant is reckoned as a key project under CPEC. It has an installed capacity of 1.32 million kW and uses imported coal to generate electricity. Since its commissioning, the power station has played an important role in alleviating the power shortage, improving the energy structure, promoting economic and social development and improving people's livelihood for the nation.

The efforts for optimizing and progressing the CPEC based hydropower generation in the country got major push today when the Board of Private Power and Infrastructure Board (PPIB) in its 128th meeting held today under the Minister for Power Mr. Omar Ayub Khan approved "Standardized Security Package Documents for Hydropower Projects" for submission to ECC for final approval.
The said documents have been prepared by PPIB with the consultation of federal and provincial stakeholders to cater for institutional requirements at federal as well as provincial and AJ&K level. This will help in mitigating protracted negotiations with the private investor thus paving way for smooth and timely implementation of hydropower projects. With the approval of these documents from ECC, the specific agreements of 1,124 MW Kohala and 700 MW Azad Pattan Hydropower Projects will stand approved for execution. The Minister appreciated this development and said that the GoP is doing every effort for attracting foreign direct investment in the country and today’s accomplishment is a latest example of GoP’s commitment for improving power supply in the country. With the implementation of these two major hydropower projects under CPEC, more than 8,400 GWh of clean and green energy would be added to the national grid every year. The Minister further stated that the present government is reducing red tapism to fully facilitate the investors for availing the variables of growth and better returns which are available in the energy sector.
The Managing Director PPIB Mr. Shah Jahan Mirza briefed the Board on various ongoing power generation projects being implemented all over the country. The Board was briefed that PPIB is currently processing a diversified portfolio of twenty five power generation projects of around 12,500 MW while strategically important Matiari-Lahore HVDC Transmission Line Project is also part of its active portfolio. The Minister appreciated PPIB’s performance and advised continue playing its role in further streamlining the processes for facilitation of investors and timely completion of pipeline projects.
