Grid connection for Pakistan's fourth reactor
17 October 2016
Pakistan's Chashma unit 3 was connected to the country's power grid on 15 October at a ceremony attended by the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission and China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC). The unit reached first criticality on 2 October.

Construction began on the Chinese-designed CNP-300 pressurised water reactor (PWR) in March 2011, and the unit is expected to enter commercial operation before the end of this year.
Chashma 3 is one of two CNP-300 units being built at the site, in Punjab province. Unit 4, which began construction nine months after unit 3, is currently undergoing commissioning and is expected to enter commercial operation in 2017.
The Chashma site - also referred to as Chasnupp - is already home to two Chinese-supplied 300 MWe PWRs: unit 1, in commercial operation since 2000, and unit 2, in commercial operation since 2011. Pakistan also has a 125 MWe Canadian-supplied pressurized heavy water reactor, Karachi unit 1, which has been in commercial operation since 1972.
Two 1161 MWe Chinese-supplied Hualong One plants are also planned at the Karachi site. A ground-breaking ceremony for Karachi 2 was held in August 2015, and the units are scheduled to enter service in 2021 and 2022.

Tunnel excavation of Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower project completed
LAHORE: In what can be termed a significant development towards completion of the strategically important 969 MW-Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project, Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) completed the excavation of left tunnel – one of the critical components of the project.
According to information released to the media on Sunday, the project management achieved this milestone today when it successfully connected the two portions of the left tunnel with an amasing precision. During its mining operation, one of the two tunnel boring machines (TBMs) broke through the left tunnel from downstream side joining it with the portion which had already been excavated through traditional drill-and-blast method from the upstream side.
With this development, the left tunnel system from dam to powerhouse stands excavated. The right tunnel system is scheduled to be excavated by April 2017. Thereafter, the water way system would go for final phase of completion. Once this is done, the project will be ready for pressurising the tunnel system, culminating into wet testing i.e. electricity generation from the project, which is expected in early 2018.
In order to celebrate this landmark achievement vis-à-vis left tunnel, Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project (NJHP) management arranged a simple ceremony at the breakthrough site, inside the tunnel about 6-kilometre from its starting point from upstream side, wherein Wapda Chairman Muzammil Hussain performed the connectivity of the two sections of the left tunnel. NJHP Chief Executive Officer, Project Director and representatives of the consultants and the contractors were present on the occasion.
While congratulating the project management, the consultants and the contractors on completing excavation of the left tunnel, the chairman said Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project is an important project to overcome electricity shortages in the country and add environment-friendly and low-cost hydel electricity to the National Grid. He hoped that with commitment and concerted efforts of the present management of Wapda, this project will be completed in the shortest possible time.
It is pertinent to mention that for evacuation of electricity from Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project and its injection to the National Grid, a 525-KV transmission line is being constructed by National Transmission and Despatch Company (NTDC), which will join the National Grid at Domeli in district Jhelum through a 145-kilometre long double circuit line. This transmission line will be completed much before Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project goes into operation.

CASA project 1300 MW Supply of Electricity till 2018 .Deal has been Signed
The Central Asia-South Asia power project, commonly known by the acronym CASA-1000, is a $1.16 billion project currently under construction that will allow for the export of surplus hydroelectricity from Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Groundbreaking for the project took place on May 12, 2016 in Tajikistan in a ceremony attended by the Kyrgyz, Tajik, and Pakistani Prime Ministers, and is expected to be completed by the end of 2018.
The project initially also included transfer of electricity to Afghanistan, however the country abandoned its share of electricity due to dearth of demand, hence Pakistan will receive 1,300 megawatts of electricity.

ADB approves $ 75m loan to Pakistan for third wind energy investment
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a $75 million loan with Triconboston Consulting Corporation (TBCC) to support the development of the largest wind farm in Pakistan.
“The deal is ADB's third wind energy investment in Pakistan's burgeoning independent power producer segment. Power from the project will be sold under a 20-year take-or-pay energy purchase agreement under a feed-in-tariff to Pakistan's Central Power Purchasing Agency,” said a statement issued by the ADB here Monday.
“This wind farm is a major contributor to Pakistan's drive to scale up renewable energy use and to reduce its reliance on coal and petroleum for power generation,” said Mohammed Azim Hashimi, an investment specialist in the ADB's Private Sector Operations Department.
“The operation of this farm will help avoid the production of over 350,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions a year and help to close the country's power shortfall.”
The three 50 MegaWatt (MW) wind farms, situated 100 kilometres northeast of Karachi at Jhimpir, will generate a total of 520 GigaWatt-hours annually and are expected to be completed by March 2018.
The project sponsors include Sapphire Textile Mills, a leading local energy developer, and Bank Alfalah, Pakistan's sixth largest bank by market share.
Pakistan has launched several initiatives to promote private sector participation in the country's energy sector, with a concerted push to build up its renewable energy resources and to cut its heavy dependence on fossil fuels.
Power shortages are a major obstacle in Pakistan's economic development, with demand for electricity outpacing supply.
The ADB is Pakistan's largest development partner in the energy sector with both sovereign and non-sovereign investments, including support for policy reforms.
The ADB's assistance is helping the government to address the persistent energy crisis through Vision 2025, Pakistan's comprehensive plan for economic growth.
The plan aims to increase power generation, provide uninterrupted electricity to all, and improve demand management.

First CPEC wind power project to be installed
KARACHI: Pakistan is set to achieve total generation capacity of 1,185 megawatts from renewable energy sources next month when the first wind power project under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor would be installed in Gharo, said Amjad Ali Awan, chief executive officer of the Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB) at a press conference held on Wednesday at a local hotel.
Highlighting the progress made by the country in the field of renewable energy, he said that Pakistan was among the few countries in the world today producing over 1,000 megawatts of electricity from renewable energy sources and had been listed 39th in the renewable energy index for the first time.
The present installed power generation capacity from renewable energy sources stood at 1,135 MW, which included 590 MW from wind and 400 MW from solar and 145 MW from bagasse, which was available to sugar mills in northern Sindh and southern Punjab.
He said plans were afoot to increase power generation from solar and wind to 1,756 MW and 1,000MW respectively in two years.
Letters of Interest (LoIs), he said, had been issued to four more projects to increase bagasse-based electricityto 375MW while by year 2019, different sugar mills in the country would be contributing up to 500MW electricity to the national grid.
Mr Awan expressed the hope that by 2019, the country would be producing 3,000MW electricity through renewable energy as its onward supply to the end consumers would be made on the basis of subsidised tariff, causing not much financial burden on users of clean electricity in their households and businesses.
According to him, up to 91 per cent of the 1,135 MW (renewable energy) was being produced in the country since 2013 while 57 per cent of this installed capacity had been secured over the past one year, `showing sincerity of the present government to utilise potential of the country to produce clean energy`He said that Gharo-Jhimpir wind corridor in Sindh alone had the potential of generating 32,000 MW to 35,000 MW electricity.
`The AEDB will encourage operators of wind power projects in Sindh to install solar panels at their site to generate additional megawatts of clean power on more stable and reliable pattern,` he said.
The board, he said, was facilitating the process of arranging finances from international donor agencies to build capacity of local distribution companies to evacuate electricity from renewable energy plants for onward transmission.
`We have stopped issuing LoIs for new wind power projects in Sindh for over a year as we already have a number of projects in the pipeline that need to be evaluated,` he said, adding that an efficient power transmission and distribution system needed to be in place to evacuate electricity from renewable energy plants.
Twelve wind masts and 10 solar data stations had already been installed in different parts of the country to identify potential renewable energy sources under a World Bank-funded mapping project.
In reply to a question, he said the federal government had approved standards for safety and quality of solar cells being sold in the market and now there was a need to implement them with the help of stakeholders.
