Suki Kinar Hydropower Project - 884 MW

[ghazi52]

What an ending of year 2021 and start of year 2022. There was shower of milestone achievements at Suki Kinari Hydropower Project.

It is really appreciated the team of National and International staff accomplished this challenging task. The excavation of these two middle Pressure shafts was started in the beginning of year 2021 and completed at the end of year 2021 and beginning of 2022.

The penstock system is about 2km long which consists of 6 pressure shafts and 8 pressure tunnels. The overall elevation difference is 744m and one of the “Deepest Pressure Shaft Systems” among World’s Hydropower projects.

The excavation of all Pressure shafts is being done with drilling and blasting. Initially, the guide shaft having a diameter of 1.65m had been achieved. The expansion of the guide shaft from 1.65m to 5.08m was achieved with the drilling & Blasting method.

No doubt, the drilling, and excavation of such a short diameter shaft was not an easy task in these geological conditions but the determined team made it happen.

On 7th & 8th February, Inter-Services Public Relations of Pakistan jointly held a media open day activity, which invited more than 30 local mainstream media such as PTV, ARY, Geo TV, 92, Samaa TV, Express TV, etc. at Suki Kinari Hydropower Project to witness the construction activities.

It is a key project of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and under construction since 2017..

Suki Kanari Energy Project creates job opportunities for locals

Hundreds of children belonging to less privileged families in the scenic Kaghan Valley are being fed on a daily basis at the under-construction Suki Kinari hydropower project along the Kunhar River.

The Suki Kinari dam project, one of the key initiatives of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), is estimated to generate 884 megawatts of electricity, which will benefit 13 million households.

According to Mari Petroleum, around 6,000 locals are already involved in the construction work, and once complete, it will create hundreds of more jobs. It is a unique project for which a 30km long tunnel will be dug through the mountains and from where the water will be diverted to the power turbines with the help of pipes.

Launched in 2017, 83% of the work of the Suki Kanari Energy Project has been completed. It is hoped that this project will be added to the national grid next year, increasing Pakistan’s hydropower reserves by nine percent.

Another milestone was achieved on 19th Feb, 2022 at Suki Kinari Hydropower Project.
247m deep lower pressure shaft (PS1) has been completed successfully and provides space for subsequent steel lining works. Out of 6 pressure shafts, the 04 pressure shafts had already been completed...

The project is under construction since 2017.

234m deep shaft is located at the end of the 23.2km long headrace tunnel. It has two chambers namely upper and lower chambers while will neutralize the hammering effect of water due to the sudden shutdown of generating units.

Due to poor ground conditions, mechanical excavation and installation of heavy support system including lattice girders and rock anchors are being implemented.

.,..,.,.
The Suki kinari Hydropower Project is located on the Kunhar River in the beautiful valley of Kaghan, KPK Province.

As a key project in the list of the first batch of priority projects of the "China-Pakistan Economic Corridor", China Energy Construction Gezhouba Group's overseas greenfield investment "first order", the project shoulders the major mission of Gezhouba Group's transformation and upgrading and structural adjustment.

The SK Hydropower Station is equipped with four Pelton turbine generators with a single unit capacity of 221 MW, with a total installed capacity of 884 MW, a maximum net head of 922.72 meters, and an average annual power generation of 3.212 billion kWh for many years.
