Turkish firm to set up 100-MW solar power plant
LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Thursday said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had offered unconditional cooperation to tackle the energy crisis damaging the economy of Pakistan. The 100-MW solar power project at the Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park, Bahawalpur, was the first step in that direction, he added.
He was addressing a ceremony held in connection with the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Punjab government and renowned Turkish energy company Zorlu Enerji Holding for establishing a 100-MW project at the Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park, Bahawalpur.
Under the agreement, the Turkish company will complete the project in six months. With a tariff rate of six cents per unit, this project will provide low-price electricity to consumers.
Shahbaz said he had directed the authorities concerned to execute the project within four months without compromising quality. "With the cooperation of the Turkish company, we will provide electricity at the rate of six cents per unit. It will not only benefit the people but also make Nepra whose rotten policies has caused irreparable loss to the energy projects, to slash the tariff, currently fixed at 10.8 cents per unit," he added.
Shahbaz criticised the political opponents for leveling allegations without any proof and said those accusing Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of corruption should check their own deeds. The chief minister said the Panama Papers case was before the Supreme Court but the political rivals were not stopping the practice of allegations and lies.
“The opponents are involved in a blame game rather than delivering as we all know that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has the capacity to generate electricity from cheaper source of water but it has never been utilised,” Shahbaz said referring to the PTI.
He said there were also those with $60 million in the Swiss banks, adding that new corruption records were also witnessed in the Musharraf era. "Those who are lecturing us over corruption should remember the time when court orders were ignored intentionally after the Supreme Court continuously sought a letter to the Swiss authorities from the attorney general regarding $60 million,” the chief minister said about the PPP.
The indifference on the part of the-then government forced the court to some strict actions, he recalled. Shahbaz made it clear that elections would be held in 2018. “Our opponents too should take part in these elections and accept the decision of the people.” He said the country was making rapid progress under the prime minister’s leadership and no one should create hindrance in the journey of development.
He said China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and other friendly countries, which were assisting Pakistan to steer it out of crisis, should not be misguided. “We have played our two-thirds innings and we now have to do something for our coming generations. We will not indulge in any politics that could result in disgracing us before the coming generations,” Shahbaz remarked.
The chief minister said the economic development targets could not be achieved without overcoming the energy crisis, adding that traditional as well as alternative sources were being utilised for implementing the power generation projects.
He also promised that the PML-N government would complete the ongoing development projects, especially those in the energy sector, both at the federal and provincial levels to lessen the problems of the people.
The CEO of Zorlu Enerji expressed the hope that more projects would be established. The Turkish consul general said the agreement would result in enhancing economic cooperation between the two countries.

Bhikki plant starts 385 MW production
One of the three gas turbines, imported for 1,180 megawatts Bhikki power project, has set off electricity generation, expected to add 385 MW within a few days, a statement said on Tuesday. “GE and Harbin Electric International Company Limited… achieved a major milestone with the first fire of an advanced GE 9HA gas turbine installed at the Bhikki power plant, less than 17 months after the turnkey project was first announced,” the statement said.
“The turbine can generate up to 385 MW of reliable power that is expected to be distributed for residential and commercial use through the national grid within a few days after first fire.”
In 2015, Punjab government-owned Quaid-e-Azam Thermal Power (Pvt.) Limited launched the combined power cycle project of 1,156MW in Bhikki, near district Sheikhupura. The project was estimated to cost $540 million. The Bhikki plant was scheduled to start simple cycle operations in February 2017, while the operations on combined cycle mode will commence from December 2017. Bhikki power project would use re-gasified liquefied natural gas – equivalent to an estimated 200 million cubic feet per day – as its primary fuel. The government awarded the project’s engineering, procurement and construction contract to Chinese Harbin Electric.
In September 2015, General Electric signed an agreement with the contractor to provide two high-efficiency gas turbines and associated equipment for the Bhikki combined cycle power plant.
“First fire of gas turbine-1 is a significant milestone towards the completion of the Bhikki project, a key initiative undertaken by the Government of Punjab to provide reliable, uninterrupted power to citizens,” a statement quoted Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif as saying.
