According to a media report, civil works on the 1,320 MW Shanghai Electric Thar Coal Block-1 Power Generation Company (PVT) Ltd. project are expected to be completed this year.
Once the project is completed, the project’s energy production will be enough to power four million households in Pakistan. In addition, the multinational corporation Shanghai Electric hired both Pakistani and Chinese workers. There are about 5,000 employees working at the site of Thar Coal Block-1 Power Plant, among which a large amount are Muslims.
Civil works of the under-construction 1,320 MW Shanghai Electric Thar Coal Block-1 Power Generation Company (PVT) Ltd. project is planned to achieve its COD within this year.

According to media reports, the Karot hydropower project’s unit one has begun to operate at full capacity, supplying energy to the national grid with a capacity of 180 megawatts (MW).
The energy generated by unit 1 will help the national system cope with energy shortages, according to Wang Minsheng, CEO of Karot Power Company Limited. He also said that commissioning the Karot hydropower projects on time would help alleviate the country’s power shortage. He described the launch of unit 1 as a significant milestone for the project, adding that unit 2 has begun wet commissioning with the help of the National Transmission and Despatch Company (NTDC). He also praised the Chinese and Pakistani employees who contributed to the achievement.
The Karot Hydropower Project is the CPEC’s first large-scale hydropower project. After completion, the project will have a total installed capacity of 720MW and will provide approximately 3.2 billion kWh of clean energy annually.

WAPDA Chairman pays farewell visits to Mohmand, T5, Dasu, Diamer Basha Dam
Silent revolution taking place for development of Pakistan
WAPDA projects to add 11.7 MAF water, 11369 MW hydel power by 2029: Gen Muzammil
May 14, 2022: Outgoing WAPDA Chairman Lt Gen Muzammil Hussain (Retd) paid farewell visits to the four under-construction signature projects of WAPDA namely Mohmand Dam, Tarbela 5th Extension, Dasu and Diamer Basha Dam. WAPDA Chairman designate and Member (Finance) Naveed Asghar Chaudhry, who was on his maiden visits to these projects, also accompanied him. WAPDA projects’ management, representatives of the Consultants and the Contractors concerned were also present on the occasion.
Underlining the significance of harnessing water and hydropower resources for development of Pakistan, the outgoing Chairman said that a silent revolution is taking place in Pakistan, as WAPDA’s 10 under-construction mega projects are progressing at a good pace.
These projects, which are scheduled to be completed from 2022 to 2029, will ensure water, food and energy security of Pakistan with cumulative gross water storage capacity of 11.7 million acre feet (MAF) and installed hydel power generation capacity of 11369 megawatt; sufficient to irrigate 3.5 million acres of land and provide 44.7 billion units of green and cheap electricity on the average every year.
Appreciating the commitment and dedication of the projects’ management in carrying these projects forward, he said “Integrity, dignity and competence reign supreme. I am fortunate to have good people around me”. Elaborating the hardships in the way to implementing projects six-seven years ago, he said “ We were mindful of the fact that WAPDA must stood up to tackle these challenges. WAPDA not only completed as many as four long-stranded projects but also had been able to initiate 10 mega projects by removing the bottlenecks”.
He expressed the hope that WAPDA teams will make their best efforts to complete these projects as per the timelines.
During his visit to Mohmand Dam, the outgoing Chairman flanked by the WAPDA Chairman designate also inaugurated the newly-constructed office building of the project.
The General Managers/Project Directors concerned briefed the visitors of the progress on the projects.
It is worth mentioning here that Mohmand Dam is being built across River Swat in Tribal District Mohmand of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with gross water storage capacity of 1.2 MAF and power generation capacity of 800 MW. The project will be completed in 2026.
Tarbela 5th Extension Hydropower Project is being constructed on the 5th Tunnel of Tarbela Dam located in District Haripur of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with installed generation capacity of 1530 MW. Electricity generation from the project will start in 2024.
Dasu Hydropower Project Stage-I is being executed across River Indus in District Upper Kohistan of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with installed power generation capacity of 2160 MW. The project will commence power generation in 2026.
Diamer Basha Dam is being constructed across River Indus 40-Km downstream Chilas Town of Gilgit Baltistan with gross water storage capacity of 8.1 MAF and installed power generation capacity of 4500 MW. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2029.

K-Electric (KE) has signed agreement to secure additional supply of 500-800MW from nuclear power plants through national grid by summer 2024.
In this regard, K-Electric (KE) has awarded the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract 500/220 kV KANUPP-K-Electric Interconnection (KKI) Grid to Siemens (Pakistan) Engineering Company Limited.
The development is another milestone toward securing Karachi’s future energy needs, and the signing ceremony between Siemens and KE was held at the latter’s Head Office.

Mangla Hydel Power Station
Two refurbished units commissioned with USAID’s grant
Islamabad, May 23, 2022: Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) has successfully commissioned generating units No. 5 and 6 of the Mangla Hydel Power Station, recently refurbished with the financial support of United States Agency for International Development (USAID). With refurbishment, installed generation capacity of each unit has increased to 135 (Mega Watt) MW from 100 MW - with cumulative increase of 70 MW from 200 to 270 MW.
USAID Mission Director Julie A. Koenen accompanied by her team witnessed commissioning of the two units during her visit to Mangla Hydel Power Station today. She also unveiled a plaque to mark commissioning of the refurbished Units No. 5 and 6. WAPDA Member (Power) Jamil Akhtar, Mangla Dam Refurbishment Project Director and others were also present on the occasion.
"Today, the Mangla Dam rehabilitation work builds upon the foundational partnership of the original construction. USAID is proud of our enduring efforts with WAPDA to extend Mangla Dam’s useful service as a reliable source of clean energy and irrigation water,” said Ms. Julie Koenen while speaking at the event. “When Mangla Dam was built, it was one of the largest earth-filled dams in the world. Not only is it an impressive achievement in engineering, it is also an excellent example of long-lasting U.S.-Pakistan friendship and economic cooperation.”
Earlier, WAPDA Member (Power) in his welcome remarks thanked USAID for their continued support for the power sector in Pakistan and specifically in implementing Mangla Refurbishment Project. Elaborating the two-pronged strategy for optimal utilization of hydropower resources, he said that WAPDA has not only initiated new hydropower projects but has also been rehabilitating and upgrading its existing hydel power stations including Mangla to maximize the ratio of environment friendly and low-cost hydel electricity in the National Grid.
In view of the aging factor of the generating equipment and availability of additional water due to the raised Mangla Dam, WAPDA is implementing Mangla Refurbishment Project with an approved PC-I cost of Rs.52.224 billion. USAID is providing US$150 million as grant, while balance is being arranged by WAPDA through loans and from its own resources for the purpose.
Mangla Refurbishment Project, on its completion, will enhance generation capacity of the existing Mangla Hydel Power Station from 1000 MW to 1310 MW, thus registering an increase of 310 MW. The average annual generation of Mangla Hydel Power Station will also increase from 5 billion units to 6.5 billion units. The refurbishment works have been divided into 11 different packages, which are being implemented in various phases, by closing down one tunnel (two generating units) at a time.
It may be mentioned that installation of the first four generating units i.e. Unit No. 1 to 4 at Mangla Hydel Power Station, having generation capacity of 100 megawatt (MW) each, was completed in 1967. Unit No. 5 and 6 were installed in 1974, while Unit No 7 and 8 in 1981. Mangla Hydel Power Station attained its maximum generation capacity of 1000 MW in 1994 with addition of Unit No 9 and 10.
