Pakistan. WAPDA is responsible for the development of Hydel Power and Water Sector
Projects in Pakistan. WAPDA operates through- Power wing and Water wing, It is engaged in
the generation, transmission and distribution of power. In addition, it also manages irrigation,
water supply and drainage system in the country. Further, it is also responsible for prevention
of water logging and reclamation of waterlogged and saline lands. Its responsibilities also
include flood management and inland navigation. WAPDA was created as a Semi-
an act of parliament in February 1958 for integrated and rapid development and maintenance
of water and power resources of the Country. This includes controlling soil salinity and water
logging to rehabilitate the affected land in order to strengthen the predominantly agricultural
economy of the country. As per the charter, amended in March 1959 to transfer the existing
electricity departments from the federating units to it, WAPDA has been assigned the duties of
• Inland navigation.
Under the later on developments, vis-à-vis the “Energy Policy 1994”, setting up of thermal
power generation projects was shifted to the private sector. Similarly, as a result of
restructuring of the Power Wing, the utility part was corporatized into independent companies.
This shift from convergence to divergence gave birth to 13 entities to operate in different
zones. These are National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC), four thermal power
generation companies (GENCOs) and eight distribution companies (DISCOs). The present
status of these companies is of corporate public limited entities under the Umbrella of EPCO,
ultimately to go privatized as planned. The residual Power Wing is therefore now responsible
Hydropower Development Program me, entitled Water Vision 2025. The Water Vision 2025
projects are expected to generate 16,000 MW of hydroelectricity. Other goals are to prevent
water shortages, limit drought and increase water storage for a growing population. Five
massive hydropower projects have been announced by the President of Pakistan; these are to
be completed by 2016, with a generation capacity of 9,500 MW. Two of the projects are ready
for construction, while three are in the stages of feasibility studies and preparation of tender
documents.
Water Vision 2025 consists of three phases. Phase I was expected to start in 1993 but
was delayed. The priority of water sector projects under Phase I of Water Vision 2025 are
Gomal Dam (NWFP), Mirani Dam and Mithan Kot Barrage at Kachhi Canal (Balochistan)
raising of Mangla Dam (Azad Kashmir), Greater Thal Canal phase I (Punjab) and Thar/Rainee
Canals phase I (Sindh). The total cost of these Phase I projects will be $2.467 billion with a
construction period of five years. Under Phase II, Hingol Dam, Balochistan Dam and Satpara
Dam (Northern Areas), Chashma Right Bank Canal and Khurram Tangi Dam (NWFP), phase
II of the Greater Thal Canal Akhori Dam and Sanjwal Dam (Punjab), phase II of Thar/Rainee
Canals, Gajnai and Sehwan Barrage (Sindh) will be completed in 3–6 years, except Basha
Dam, which will take 8–10 years for its completion. The total cost of Phase II projects will be
$8.94 billion. These 11 projects will have a storage capacity of 12.79 million acre-feet, would
generate over 3362 mW of power, and would irrigate 1.4 million hectares of land. Under Phase
III, Yugo Dam, Skardu Dam, Dhok Dam, Rohtas Dam, Naulang Dam and Khadji Dam will be
completed.

The environment and structure of the power industry throughout the world are
undergoing dramatic change. The power sector is moving from monopoly to privatization and
from integration to disintegration. To keep pace with this change, the Government of Pakistan
approved a Strategic Plan in 1994 as a consequence of which the power wing of WAPDA has
been unbundled into 12 Companies for generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.
Lahore Area Electricity Board was reorganized into one such corporatized entity under the
name of Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) with effect from 22-03-1998, with the aim

Pakistan became two independent sovereign states. Hydel generation capacity of only 10.7
MW (9.6 MW - Malakand Power Station & 1.1 MW - Renala Power Station) existed in the
territory of Pakistan. With the passage of time, new Hydel Power Projects of Small and
Medium capacities were commissioned including the first water storage dam and power house
at Warsak due to which country's Hydel capability raised to about 267 MW uptill 1963.
The Irrigation System which existed at the time of partition in 1947 was divided
between the two countries without any regards to the irrigation boundaries which resulted in an
international water dispute which was finally resolved by signing of the Indus Water Treaty in
1960 under the aegis of World Bank. The Treaty assigned three Eastern rivers (Ravi, Beas and
Sutlej) to India and three Western rivers (Indus, Jhelum & Chenab) to Pakistan. It also
provided construction of replacement works called Indus Basin Projects (IBP) to compensate
for perpetual loss of Eastern rivers' water. The works proposed under the Treaty included two
multipurpose dams i.e. Mangla Dam on Jhelum river and Tarbela Dam on Indus river having
the provision of power generation. These were commissioned in 1967 & 1977 respectively.

The seasonal variations of reservoir levels and consequent reduction in Power outputs
of storage type hydel projects in Pakistan are very pronounced. Tarbela with maximum head of
450 ft. experiences variation of 230 ft. while Mangla has 162 ft. variation against the maximum
cranium of 360ft.
The lean flow period of Tarbela reservoir is from November to June when the Capability
reduces to as low as about 1350 MW against the maximum of 3692 MW during high head
period i.e. August to September (15% permissible overloading on Units 1~10). Lean flow
period of Mangla reservoir is observed from October to March when the minimum generating
capability is 500 MW. The capability rises to as high as 1150 MW during 'high head' period

The country had been experiencing severe power shortage during eighties and early
nineties. As a result, load shedding had to be resorted to all over the country. This adversely
affected the national economy. It was not possible for the Govt. to establish Power Plants in
public sector due to shortage of funds. In order to eliminate power shortage/load shedding in
the minimum possible time, the Government constituted an Energy Task Force in 1993 to
devise a consolidated and comprehensive policy for revamping and rejuvenating the energy
sector. On the recommendations of the Energy Task Force, the Government announced a
“Policy Framework and Package of Incentives for Private Sector Power Generation Projects”
in March 1994 for a large scale induction of the private sector in power development. The said
Policy offered a fix level zed tariff of US$ 5.57 / kWh to the prospective investors (US$ 6.1 /
kWh average for 1-10 years) and a number of other incentives to attract foreign investment in
In 1994, the government formulated a power policy that allows the private sector
to invest in the power sector to ensure sufficient generation capacity. The policy also
allowed full flexibility to independent power producers (IPPs) to bring capacity on line as

quickly as possible at predetermined power purchase prices. The government guaranteed
implementation, fuel supply, and power purchase. (By 2001, the private sector’s share of
installed capacity reached 5,551MW, all of which were oil-fired thermal plants.)
1292 MW (Net 1200 MW) HUB Power Project the biggest power plant in the private
sector contracted in 1992 started commercial operations in March 1997. Shortly after
commissioning disputes arose between GOP / WAPDA and HUBCO on tariff and other issues.
After protracted negotiations, these were resolved through Settlement Agreement of December
This resulted in a lower tariff entailing a saving of about 3 billion dollars over 30 years
term of the Power Purchase Agreement. WAPDA also privatized its 1638 MW (Net 1342
MW) Gas Turbine Power Station, Kot Addu in June 1996 by incorporating it under the name
of KAPCO and selling its 36% shares to International Power of UK. After extensive
correspondence/negotiations with the International Power, the Power Purchase Agreement and
other relevant documents have been amended, providing inter-alia, reduction in tariff from
Cents 5.60 / kWh to Cents 5.04 / kWh, resulting in a saving of about 1.3 billion dollars to

During the Government of PM Shaukat Aziz (2006), ECC in its decision of 16th
August, 2006 approved 150 MW Rental Power Plants proposal by WAPDA / NPGCL for
NEPRA, stipulating that WAPDA should only rent as much power as is absolutely necessary
to be utilized with high load factor for economic utilization of capacity. The ECC was briefed
by then government that given the urgency to have additional power capacity before next

summer as per WAPDA’s demand projections and the long gestation period for new plant,
renting of plant/plants appears to be the only short term solution if shortfalls are to be met.
Further, as the commissioning of the new IPPs for which gas has already been allocated
will take 2-3 years, practical arrangements may be worked out with the Ministry of Petroleum
and Natural Resources to utilize this gas for the rented plants in the intervening period. The
then Planning and Development Division concurred with the proposal of M/o Water and Power

3.6.2 General
The Government of Pakistan in March 1994 announced the Policy Framework and
Package of Incentives for private sector power development in the country. It received a
tremendous response albeit for all Thermal Plants. GOP now intends to encourage proposals
for power generation based on indigenous resources namely its hydel resources. Hydel power
being cheaper, will provide tariff relief to the consumers, utilize indigenous resources, involve
Pakistani entrepreneurs and provide benefits of economic growth to the relatively backward
parts of Pakistan.
In Pakistan nearly all hydro potential results from discharges into the Indus River basin.
Discharges result primarily from precipitation and snow-melt in the northern mountainous
ranges of the country. Discharges take place in small rivulets coming further down to the
bigger tributaries of River Indus and then to Indus River itself. The development of
Pakistan's climatic factors including rainfall and snowmelt, make it relatively easy to develop
hydel generation during the months of July to December while the period January to June is
extremely dry in terms of stream flow. In order, therefore, to arrest the risk of over
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
development in summer months that would create an unbridgeable gap in winter months, the
total requirement of hydel plants in private sector may be limited to 2,000 MW upto the end of
the 9th Five Year Plan. However, the limit of 2,000 MW will be reviewed at a later stage and
can be enhanced to suit the national priorities and power demand growth. Realizing that these

thermal power. The salient features of the policy framework and package of incentives devised

Electricity constitutes one of the most important components of infrastructure and plays
a key role in national growth and development. With only about half of nearly 140.5 million
people (2001 population estimate) having access to electricity, a huge population base provides
an ideal opportunity for expansion of electricity generation. The growing pace of urbanization

Reform of the power sector through restructuring and deregulation is high on the
agenda of the Government of Pakistan (GOP). The GOP is committed to pursue a far-reaching
reform program me for the power sector and to help meet the country's future power needs.

Implementation of the envisaged program me will bring about a gradual transition of the power
generation, transmission and distribution entities, having substantial private ownership and
environment.

Internship is one of the crucial and difficult decisions of the career of a student. The
internship acts as a passage towards the achievement of future job. It not only encourages the
student to enter the social circle of practical life but also motivates him or her towards
implementation of the knowledge gained from the studies. It enlightens the thinking pattern of
the students’ mind and shows him or her small glimpse of the practical work environment. The
student is thus able to understand the working conditions and the implications present in the
environment about which he or she is unaware. During the internship period a student gets the
chance to meet the highly skilled and professional people related to his area of interest as well
as other people. This interaction gives him or her handful experience about the present systems
being followed in the market. He is able to learn certain key and fundamental functions that are

RECOMMENDATIONS

another effect of delayed promotions apart from brain drain. So promotion should be in time as
