ALAS! these so called democratic monster's are making fool of whole nation by advertising of these loaned projects by pasting their own pictures on posters. what this project has to do with PMLN. This project was financed by"ADB Asian Development Bank" ADB provided loan for this project making few bridges by taking loans from banks and not even utilising half of that and putting other half in their own pockets by corruption and burying the whole nation under burden of debt making them a good politicians?
What a shame! did someone ever asked them where our Tax money is going? where is the trade outcome? leave these loaned projects and CPEC aside. and then just think for once where did our own money going Tax,Fuel,Trade,export,etc. which project have they just started with that money or that would only be use just to increase the salaries of parliamentarians and for their foreign visits and for protection of these corrupt criminals?

Bahadur Shah Power Plant
May 2, 2017
Jhang, Pakistan; May 2, 2017: The National Power Parks Management Company Limited (NPPMCL), GE and SEPCOIII Electric Power Construction Corporation have achieved a critical milestone in record time with the first fire of a GE 9HA gas turbine installed at the Haveli Bahadur Shah (HBS) power plant. Located in the district of Jhang, about 300 kilometers from Lahore, the 1,230 megawatts (MW) project is the second of three power plants being set up in Pakistan that will run on imported supplies of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
First fire is a critical test where the gas turbine is switched on and run on fuel at the site. The turbine can generate up to 385 megawatts (MW) of reliable power that is expected to be distributed for residential and commercial use within a few weeks following first fire. This significant accomplishment was achieved just 94 days after the unit was delivered to the project site and is the shortest duration in which a GE H-class turbine has gone from arrival at site to first fire globally. The record speed with which the project is being executed has only been possible through the strong commitment of and collaboration among NPPMCL, GE and SEPCOIII.
“We are taking action to provide electricity to the people of Pakistan in order to end the load shedding on an urgent basis,” said Rashid Mahmood Langrial, CEO of National Power Parks Management Company Limited (NPPMCL), the owner company of HBS power plant. “Once complete and operating in combined cycle configuration, the Haveli Bahadur Shah power plant will help to meet up to 20 percent of the current electricity shortfall in Pakistan, providing the equivalent electricity needed to supply up to 2.5 million Pakistani homes using industry-leading technologies.”
“Our goal is to deliver cost-effective, clean and reliable power to the people of Pakistan as quickly as possible, and we are proud to have worked with our customer, NPPMCL and the government to reach this significant milestone in record time,” said Joe Mastrangelo, President and CEO of GE Power’s Gas Power Systems. “With this accomplishment, three HA turbines - our largest and most efficient gas turbine – have achieved first fire in Pakistan over three consecutive months."
The HA is the result of almost US$2 billion in research and development and offers leading efficiency, operational flexibility and low life cycle costs. In June 2016, GE set a world record for powering the world’s most efficient combined-cycle power plant in France – EDF’s Bouchain facility - with its HA technology. Pakistan is the first country in the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey and South Asia region to use these turbines and the HBS project is expected to be even more efficient than France’s Bouchain.
The announcement of this milestone also follows the inauguration of the 1,180 MW Bhikki power plant. The project has started to generate up to 700 MW of electricity and is powered by two GE HA turbines that are currently undergoing the final stages of scheduled testing.
“We are pleased to announce this critical step towards the completion of the Haveli Bahadur Shah project just a week after the successful inauguration of the Bhikki power plant,” said Sarim Sheikh, President & CEO of GE Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan. “With the demand for energy rising rapidly in Pakistan, GE is proud to be part of landmark projects that will contribute towards the country’s energy security for decades to come.”

A J K Patrind Hydro Power Plant ( 147 MW ) Complete
PROJECT PATRIND
The run-of-river Patrind Hydropower Project is being constructed on river Kunhar. With a capacity of 147MW (Net), the Project shall generate, on average, 632 GWh of electricity annually. Since the Project is being developed by SHPL as an IPP, the SHPL has entered into a 30 year Power Purchase Agreement with National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC), Pakistan's grid system operator, for the sale of electricity generated from the Project.
LOCATION
The Project is located on the boundary of Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJ&K) and District Abbottabad of Pakistan, near the city of Muzaffarabad. The majority of the Project structures, including the powerhouse, are located in the territory of AJ&K. However, the diversion tunnel, flushing tunnel and a part of the weir are located within territorial limits of District Abbottabad.
The weir side of the Project can be reached through Boi Road on right side of river Kunhar at a distance of approximately 12.3 km from Garhi Habibullah, a small town in District Mansehra. The powerhouse side of the Project is accessible from lower Chattar, Muzaffarabad where a new class 70 bridge has been constructed across river Jhelum as part of the Project.

IFC helps generate $238m for Pakistan’s largest wind power farm
WASHINGTON - IFC will provide and arrange $238 million in a landmark transaction to help build Pakistan’s largest wind power farm to address energy shortages and boost the development of renewable energy, IFC said.
A member of the World Bank Group, IFC will provide $66 million and mobilize a further $172 million in financing o Triconboston Consulting Corporation to construct and operate three new 50-megawatt wind farms in Sindh province.
Other financiers include the Asian Development Bank, the Islamic Development Bank, and DEG-Deutsche Investitions-und Entwicklungsgesellschaft.
This is the first time in Pakistan that a portfolio of three separate plants will be internationally financed by a single consortium, bringing further innovation to Pakistan’s project finance market. The plant is expected to be fully commissioned by the end of 2018 and will make its greatest contributions during the high-demand summer months, providing clean power to about 600,000 residential customers, according to a IFC statement.
“The new wind farm will generate reliable, clean energy at lower prices and help reduce pressure on the country’s power grid, while mitigating climate change,” said Nadeem Abdullah, Triconboston CEO. Triconboston is majority owned by the Sapphire Group, a leading Pakistani industrial group, with significant interests in textile and power.
The project is part of IFC’s broader efforts to foster private participation in Pakistan’s power sector to increase investments, help diversify energy sources, cut the cost of electricity, and reduce the use of polluting and expensive fossil fuels. Pakistan is currently facing power shortages that hamper social and economic development, and cost the country an estimated 2 percent of gross domestic product every year.
“IFC has been at the forefront of investing and mobilizing financing to support private sector participation in Pakistan’s power sector,” said Mouayed Makhlouf, IFC’s director for the Middle East and North Africa region. “This is our fifth investment in wind power in the last three years in Pakistan. The project will also support Sapphire in their diversification strategy in renewables.”
The development of wind power contributes to the diversification of Pakistan’s energy generation mix by increasing capacity with shorter lead times and also helping to reduce electricity prices. The work is part of the World Bank Group’s Pakistan Transformational Energy Initiative and Joint Implementation Plan, which aims to mobilize $10b in new generation investments to address the country’s acute power shortage and improve sector sustainability.

K-P will have two new mega cities
PESHAWAR: The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government and the Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) have signed four memorandums of understanding (MoUs) worth $10.86 billion for the launch of two new cities and three other development projects of vital importance in the province.
While CPEC City and Peshawar Model Town will be established for transforming the landscape of the province, three hydroelectric power plants will be set up in Chitral, an oil refinery in Karak and a cement factory in Haripur.
The MoU signing ceremony was held at the Chief Minister House on Monday.
Briefing the media later, Chief Minister Pervez Khattak said that his government and the FWO signed the MoUs for $11 billion worth of investment in the housing, oil and gas, hydel and cement sectors.
“The CPEC City project will cost around $4.4 billion, and 62,000 residential plots will be constructed in the mega housing project spread over 80,000 kanal,” he said. “The Model Town in Peshawar costing around $4.6 billion will be spread over an area of 108,000 kanal with 81,000 plots.”
About the other three development projects, Khattak said, “The 600 megawatts hydroelectric power plants will cost $1.10 billion, oil refinery $600 million and cement factory $160 million.”
“These projects are not loan-based. They will be built on Build-Own-Transfer basis. Not a single rupee of the K-P government will be spent on the projects,” said the chief minister, explaining the mode of investment in the projects.
“We are profiting from them [FWO] in various shapes … we will get a share from their profit,” he said, adding that the K-P government would extend full support to the FWO.
“The K-P government is also trying to sign agreements with Chinese companies in the same mode where profit is made without investing a single penny,” he added.
Sharing details of the projects, Khattak said, “The CPEC City will be built near the motorway on Colonel Sher Khan (Interchange) and Peshawar Model Town between Peshawar and Nowshera.”
Explaining the criteria of the profiting schematics, he said, “If 16 plots are established then one will be given to the K-P government.”
According to Khattak’s estimates, the K-P government would earn Rs50 billion worth of profit without making any investment.
