PPIB gives go-ahead for Hubco’s 330MW project
KARACHI: The Private Power and Infrastructure Board (PPIB) has given a green signal to Hub Power Company Limited (Hubco) to go ahead with its plan to set up a 330-megawatt coal-fired power plant in Thar, Sindh.
“PPIB has issued Letter of Support (LOS) dated December 9, 2016 to Thar Energy Limited (TEL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Hub Power Company Limited, for developing a 330-megawatt Mine Mouth Power Project at Thar,” Hubco Company Secretary Shamsul Islam said in a notification to the Pakistan Stock Exchange on Tuesday.
“TEL would have to achieve financial close [arrange financing] for the project within nine months,” he added in the notification.
Earlier, the company had estimated the cost of the power project at $550 million.
The development took the company’s share price up 2.20% as the KSE-100 Index closed at a record high. Hubco’s share increased Rs2.50 and closed at Rs116.08 with a volume of 3.1 million shares.
PPIB facilitates investors in establishing private power projects and related infrastructure, executes Implementation Agreement (IA) with project sponsors and issues sovereign guarantees on behalf of the government of Pakistan.
The issuance of the Letter of Support, which is part of regulatory approvals, would help the company find suitable financiers smoothly. The financiers may be including foreign players.
The power project is estimated to start commercial operations in around three and a half years after achieving financial close.
Hubco would take supply of coal from Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company (SECMC), as the power company has stakes in the mining project. The Hub Power Company has injected $20-million equity in the SECMC mining project.
SECMC is estimated to mine 3.8 million tons of coal per annum at around the time when the 330-megawatt power project is to start commercial production.
In addition to this, the power company is also setting up two 660-megawatt imported coal-based power plants worth $1.8 billion in Hub, Balochistan.
The project is being developed by China Power Hub Generation Company (CPHGC) – a joint venture between Hub Power Holdings Limited and China Power International (Pakistan) Investment Limited – a Hong Kong-based company established by China Power International Holdings Limited. Hubco has a 26% stake in the CPHGC project. It has the right to increase its equity to 49% by the commercial operations date.
CPHGC has accepted the upfront tariff announced by Nepra for the coal-based power project.

Stage-I of project: US pledges $81 million for Kurram Tangi Dam
ISLAMABAD: The United States on Wednesday pledged to provide $81 million (over Rs8.5 billion) to the Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) for the construction of first stage (Kaitu Weir) of the Kurram Tangi Dam project in North Waziristan Agency of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata).
In this regard, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and Wapda signed an agreement at a ceremony.
Federal Minister of Water and Power Khawaja Muhammad Asif, US Ambassador David Hale and Wapda Chairman Lieutenant General (Retired) Muzammil Hussain were present.
Speaking on the occasion, the water and power minister called the USAID’s grant of $81 million for stage one of the Kurram Tangi Dam project another milestone in the US civilian assistance programme aimed at making Pakistan prosperous.
He voiced hope that the project would go a long way towards bringing about socio-economic development in far-flung areas in North Waziristan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Referring to the growing need of water and electricity, he said the government was depending more on hydroelectric power resources and was working on several such projects to produce cheap electricity.
“America and Pakistan have a long history of cooperation in the energy sector,” US Ambassador David Hale said. “The agreement builds on decades of shared efforts to meet Pakistan’s energy needs and help improve lives of millions of Pakistanis.”
He emphasised the importance of overcoming the energy crisis to expedite economic growth in the country.
Pointing to World Bank’s remarks in 2014 that energy crisis was a major hurdle to economic development, the ambassador reiterated his pledge to continue support for the power sector in Pakistan.
Pakistan would add more than 2,400 megawatts of electricity to the national grid with US support, he said.
The Wapda chairman said the Kurram Tangi Dam project would be constructed in two phases. It would have gross water storage capacity of 1.2 million acre feet and electricity generation capacity of 83.4MW.
“Construction work on stage-II of the project will also start soon,” he announced.
Kaitu Weir is the first stage of the project. With the completion of construction work in this phase, more than 16,000 acres of agricultural land will be irrigated and 18MW of electricity will be produced, which will benefit 100,000 Pakistanis.
Under the first stage, funds will be transferred to Wapda to support the construction of a weir on Kaitu River, Shertalla and Spairaga canals, two powerhouses, a transmission line, housing accommodation for the construction and operational staff and an office building for dam construction and operational activities.

CET Power Line Set To Energize Pakistan’s Sindh Province
China Electric Power Equipment and Technology Co Ltd or CET, a subsidiary of State Grid Corp of China, said it will participate in the largest direct-current high-voltage transmission project along the China Pakistan Economic Corridor.
The 910-km, 660-kilovolt Matiari-Lahore DC transmission line, a project to be built on engineering, procurement and construction or EPC basis, also includes two converter stations. EPC contracts are common in the construction industry, reports China Daily Monday. The transmission line is being constructed as part of the China- Pakistan Economic Corridor or CPEC. It starts from a converter station at Matiari near Hyderabad city in Sindh province and ends at Nankana Sahab near Lahore city in Punjab province.
The contract is worth over $1.76 billion and will take 27 months to construct, according to CET. Construction would begin soon, CET said. “The project, once completed, will help transmit 4,000 MW of electricity and fuel exports worth about 10 billion yuan ($1.44 billion) annually,” said Zheng Baihua, deputy manager in general of CET.
Zheng said the project would mainly use Chinese products, standards, design and construction. “The project is of great importance to sustain Pakistan’s GDP growth.
As per market consensus, it is expected to rise at a rate of 5 percent in 2017 and 5.5 percent in 2018, from a forecast rate of 4.7 percent for 2016,” said Joseph Jacobelli, senior analyst of Asian utilities and infrastructure research at Bloomberg Intelligence said. “The construction … should become another proof of SGCC’s technical prowess. Just like in China, the project may be important to better distribute power from one location, which has high electricity generation resources, to faraway load centers,” Jacobelli said.
The CPEC is a major pilot project under China’s Belt and Road Initiative, highlighting energy, transport and industrial cooperation between the two countries. Sun Weidong, the Chinese ambassador to Pakistan, said in a previous interview: “The corridor will come up with more business opportunities while providing tens of thousands of new jobs for locals.”
According to the company, the project would improve power network structure in Pakistan, make full use of electricity, and promote bilateral relations and cooperation. Between 2013 and 2016, CET has won more than 20 overseas orders from Africa, Europe and the US, which were worth $11 billion. The contract value posted double-digit annual growth rate in the same period, with 2015 alone accounting for more than $3.3 billion. “All our overseas investments are making a profit so far, as we conducted scientific and strict reviews before decision-making,” said Lv Shirong, deputy director of State Grid’s international department.
