Neelam Jhelum Hydro Power Plant achieved another important target

Neelam Jhelum plant has reached the milestone of providing 10 billion units of electricity to the National Grid.
Neelam Jhelum Hydro Power Plant crossed this milestone of providing 10 billion units of electricity to National Grid last night.

Due to this electricity produced from Neelam Jhelum plant, income of Rs 120 billion has been earned.

Neelam Jhelum plant is generating more electricity than annual production set in design due to effective operation.
Neelam Jhelum plant has four production units, total production capacity is 969 MW

August 10, 2020: Engineering masterpiece Neelam Jhelum Hydro power plant has achieved another major target. Since the plant production process started, the national grid has got a total of 10 billion units of electricity It has been supplied. Neelam Jhelum power plant crossed this milestone last night. The electricity produced from the plant has earned an income of Rs 120 billion.

Neelam Jhelum hydro power plant is generating more electricity than the annual production of design due to its effective operation. During the fiscal year 2019-20, the target of electricity production from the plant was 4 billion 66 crore units, but Meanwhile the plant was provided 4 billion 84 crore 30 lakh units of electricity to the national grid which is 18 crore 30 lakh units more than the target.

Neelam Jhelum hydro power plant's total production capacity is 969 MW. It has four production units and each production capacity is 242 decimal 25 MW. Electricity from the first unit of power plant in April 2018 The production was done. The project started staged power production from four units and on August 14, 2018, the power plant generated its full production capacity of 969 MW.

It is remarkable that the plan generated electricity up to 40 MW on April 9, 2019 which reflects the high efficiency of the project's electrical devices, especially the turbine. Nowadays, in the Neelum River. Due to high flu season, required amount of water is available and Neelam Jhelum is producing 969 MW electricity to its full potential.

6 Wind Power Plants to sign the contract on Monday which will reduce the unit price of electricity from 25 pkr/unit to 14 pkr/unit. The payment will be made in PKR instead of USD. Government will save 700 billion from this IPP contract.

700 billion from only 6 wind plants?

- Hydroelectric: The dam hetrick on Indus along KKH will generate 13GW cheapest but at highly inefficient (35-40%) rates, it will be more expensive for us to fulfill that gap especially in winters.

- Nuclear: As nuclear is the only cheaper and highly efficient (90-95%) solution for our problems, I think the government should start investing more in it. They even have headroom for higher generation like KANUPP-2 & 3 can do up to 1.2GW. Currently they are building 2 at Karachi (2x1GW) and 1 at Chashma (1x300MW) with 3x1GW planned in same ratio at same places. Fuel can be sourced through China.

- Coal - Though this is cheap and plentiful with not much dependence on external sourcing, it is highly toxic. China is reducing its electricity generation through coal, thus it seems they are transferring it to us

- Gas - This will definitely depend on the Iran-Pakisan Gas pipeline project as sucking out gas supply will only increase the demand-supply gap. That's just like trading one problem with one bigger problem. Our elites can use electricity for everything but middle and lower class people (not the homeless) can only afford a combination of both.

- Solar+Hydro (Salt based) - These could be considered as an alternative to other expensive sources as its best of both worlds, you get clean energy at relatively cheap rates. As its a relatively new technology, it is still being actively refined thus it may become cheaper than gas in the future.

- Fossil Fuels - No. We should have a plan to scrap these after CPEC starts to generate surplus power.

- Wind / Solar - Never. We are not a first world country which has obligations towards the well being of the planet and thus have to sacrifice our budget over generating clean and extremely expensive energy. They are only viable for small grids for villages at best.

Coal is reducing across the world, but it will continue to play a substantial role for decades to come with new coal fired power plants being built around the world.

It is and will continue to be an extremely important part of the energy mix for the foreseeable future.

It's a shame we've taken this long to start exploiting our coal resources. Better late than never I suppose.

700 billion from only 6 wind plants?

probably over the 25 years long state assurance or guarantee period for the projects
