ADB to help K-P produce over 5,000MW


ISLAMABAD: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is set to assist Pakistan in generating 5,204 megawatts of electricity by setting up hundreds of micro-hydroelectric power plants in off-grid areas of Khyber-Pakthunkhwa (K-P) and 2,330MW solar capacity in Punjab by 2026 under its “Access to Clean Energy Investment Programme”.

“By 2026, the project would have supported the construction of micro-hydroelectric power plants totaling 5,204MW and the installation of solar facilities in schools (of which 30% will be girls’ schools) and primary health care facilities (including 500 used by women), totalling 42MW in K-P and 2,330MW in Punjab,” said a report launched by the ADB.

Jhimpir project starts producing wind energy

KARACHI: The 50-megawatt Jhimpir wind power project has started commercial operations in a landmark achievement as Pakistan gradually moves to ramp up renewable energy generation in keeping with the world trend and to bridge the domestic shortfall.

This is the first project of Burj Capital, a Dubai-based investment company, in its 500MW renewable asset platform in Pakistan, according to a statement issued on Wednesday. The power project in Jhimpir, which got wind turbines from General Electric Renewable Energy, is in the Gharo-Keti Bandar wind corridor in southeast Pakistan that is a high-quality wind resource capable of generating over 50,000MW of clean and affordable electricity.

The wind corridor coupled with solar power can be further developed into a resource of national importance in order to reduce the country’s reliance on expensive imported fuels and provide people with clean and cheap electricity.

Pakistan's first waste based energy project gets generation license

ISLAMABAD: In line with its efforts to promote renewable and indigenous resources for power generation, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has granted generation license to Lahore Xingzhong Renewable Energy Company (Private) Limited, for setting up a 40.0 MW waste to energy based power plant at Lakhodair, district Lahore.

The project will deploy state of the art incineration type generation facility and the most suitable waste to energy technology, said a press release issued here Monday.

It is relevant to highlight that the project will reduce 2000 tons/day of the city’s municipal solid waste to generate electricity and is seem as silver bullet to address the municipality’s waste and energy needs of the country.

In this regard, NEPRA has already announced a Competitive Upfront Tariff of US Cents 10.007/kWh for waste to energy projects based on 25 years operational period, with overall capacity cap of 250 MW wherein the share of each province and Federal Territory have been kept at 50 MW each.

Successful implementation of the project will pave way for other such initiatives to solve pressing waste disposal problems and challenges of limited space for landfills and gas emissions resulting cleaner cities and healthy life.

Solar mini-grids set up in two districts of K-P

ISLAMABAD: To solve the power crisis, a German development bank along with a poverty alleviation fund have set up modern solar-powered mini power grids in two districts of the province.

The KfW Development Bank and the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF) set up the power projects in Swabi and Karak districts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P).

PPAF has been working on hydropower and renewable energy (HRE) projects in K-P with financial support from the German government through the German Development Bank (KfW).

The mini-grid solar systems, implemented in small villages of Swabi and Karak, can produce 196 kilowatts (kW) and 185kW respectively.

Together, they help provide electricity from indigenous and clean sources to about 434 households.

The project follows a similar project in Lakki Marwat where 24 solar mini-grid systems, with a total capacity of 119kW, were installed in off-grid villages.

While inaugurating the solar mini-grid project in Sarobi Ida Khel Village in the Palosa Sar union council of Karak, KfW Frankfurt Peace and Governance Programme Division Head Michael Gruber appreciated the efforts of PPAF and implementing partners in setting up the renewable energy projects in difficult and inaccessible terrains.

“These community-managed solar lighting systems will not only meet basic lighting requirements but will also be available for village-level businesses and local enterprises. They will increase the household income, adding value to local products and transforming lives of marginalised communities,” Gruber said.

“As these projects are located in difficult terrains, we have to make sure that a high quality of equipment and civil structures is used efficiently and in sustainable ways to ensure the long life of these projects,” KfW Germany Peace Governance Project Principal Project Manager Maja Bott said.

She further urged the beneficiary communities to “take ownership of operating and maintaining the solar systems.”

PPAF General Manager Nafees Ahmad Khan thanked KfW and the local communities for their support in completing the projects.

“PPAF is delighted to work on this project with KfW and to play an active part in helping improve lives of people living in the areas which will ultimately improve the socio-economic situation of the people and the overall development of the area,” Nafees said.

PPAF and KfW’s HRE project is spread over two phases. The first phase of the project, which began in 2013 and is expected to be completed later this year, will see as many as 68 solar mini-grid installed, generating a combined 500 kW in remote and off-grid locations of Karak, Swabi and Lakki Marwat districts. Additional micro hydropower plants, with a total capacity of 803 kW, are expected to be implemented in Chitral, Upper Dir and Buner districts.

Phase two of the project is expected to be completed in three years.

Once complete, the project would have been implemented in six districts of the province covering eight union councils in remote areas including in Swabi, Karak, Lakki Marwat, Buner, Upper Dir and Chitral.

KfW Technical Expert Thilo Heighberger, KfW Pakistan Governance and peace Coordinator Shaukat Ali, senior officials from PPAF and implementing partners including National Rural Support Programme (NRSP) and Community Motivation and Development Organisation (CMDO) attended the inauguration ceremony.
