at 19:47 sun is out.

Most solar panels are designed to be east facing, so they get direct sunlight from the time that the sun rises to the time it crosses overhead. In the evening when the sun is nearing the west side almost no direct sunlight would be hitting the panels and hence no power generation. There is one solution to this is that the panels have solar tracking capability and adjust their tilt and direction to constantly produce max power, however, those panels are very,very expensive.

PM Chairs CCE Meeting to Discuss Power Supply Situation

Islamabad (June 06, 2017): Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday charmed Cabinet Committee on Energy’s meeting to discuss power supply situation in the country and progress on different ongoing power projects being installed in the country.

The committee accorded approval in principal for establishment of a new LNG based 1,200 MW capacity power plant.

The committee was briefed by the Secretary Water and Power about the power supply situation and power demands by 2018.

The Prime Minister emphasized that pro-active planning should be exercised regarding power supply and demand. He said it was very unfortunate that planning by relevant authorities was undertaken without inculcating important contingency factors that could not be ruled out.

He directed the Ministry of Water and Power to undertake power supply and demand analysis till the year 2023 so as to undertake integrated long-term planning with regard to fulfilling energy requirements of the country over the foreseeable future.

Nawaz Sharif also directed to work out shifting of scheduled outages of power plants on account of repairs and maintenance from summer season to winter season so that maximum power is provided when most required during months of peak power demand. The progress of Port Qasim power plant was also discussed.

The CCE meeting unanimously approved that no power shutdowns be carried out on account of development works during Ramzan.

The meeting also decided that factors including increase in use of electric appliances due to economic prosperity and behavioral patterns of power consumers be included in the estimation of projected power demands.

Secretary Water and Power Division briefed the meeting on progress of decisions made in the previous meeting including working of the inter-ministerial committee of Finance, Water and Power and Petroleum and Natural Resources ministries, power supply and demand analysis till September 2018 and utilization of idle power plants.

Minister for Finance Muhammad Ishaq Dar, Minister for Water and Power Khawaja Muhammad Asif, Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Minister for Planning Ahsan Iqbal, Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif, Minister and other senior officials attended the meeting.

The board also discussed the ongoing power projects in the context of overall electricity supply and demand situation in the country. Speaking in the meeting, the water and power minister said timely completion of upcoming power projects was very important for bringing an end to electricity outages in the country.

To achieve this, he said the government desired the PPIB to provide maximum facilitation in removing bottlenecks to avoid any hurdles or delays during the implementation of the projects.

NTDC connects Balloki plant to national grid

http://nation.com.pk/business/20-Jun...-national-grid

LAHORE - National Transmission and Despatch Company Ltd (NTDC) connected 1200MW RLNG Balloki Power Plant with national grid on Monday.

The power plant has been connected through 500kV transmission line Balloki–Shaikhupura and 500kV transmission line Coal Fired Power Plant Sahiwal–Balloki, as an interim arrangement for back feed of Balloki power house and is energised today.

Meanwhile, the NTDC spokesman said that 9 towers of 500 kV Guddu-DG Khan transmission line have been collapsed due to high intensity wind storm and torrential rains in various parts of Rajanpur. However, power supply was restored to affected areas through alternate sources.

The spokesman said that, some 20 km away from Guddu, in the plains of Indus Pump, continuous flow of rainy water from the mountains of Balochistan led to the collapse of towers. Teams of NTDC engineers and contractors were mobilised immediately and restoration work has been started under the supervision of GM (Asset Management) and Chief Engineer (Asset Management) Multan. The teams are facing difficulties in transportation of men and material at sites of demolished towers due to water logging and slush in the area. NTDC Managing Director Dr Fiaz Ahmad Chaudhry is monitoring the rehabilitation activities and instructed the teams to complete the restoration work in shortest possible time.
