4. OVERVIEW OF PAKISTAN’S POWER SECTOR
4
At present the following entities are responsible for delivery of power to the end
consumers:
One Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDCL)
Ten Distribution Companies (DISCOs)
Four Public Sector Generation Companies (GENCOs)
Thirty One (31) IPPs
The Electricity Generation is blend of Hydel and Thermal Units.
Total installed capacity is around 25,000 MW with 53% and 47% Share of Public and
Private Sector respectively.
Currently Country is facing deficit of around 6,000 MW in peak summer months
whereas the power demand has been growing by 6-7% per annum resulting into load
shedding of 10-14 hours.
Expansion in Transmission Network is required to evacuate power from upcoming
projects.
Due to Financial Constraints in the Public Sector, the GOP is focusing on private sector
to invest in PPS to bridge the electricity demand supply gap.

9. In the peak summer months, electricity demand-supply gap reaches up to
6,000 MW resulting in load-shedding of up to 10-14 hours per day
WAPDA (NTDC) Power Planning has projected a demand of 31,757 MW by
the year 2020
Even if the maximum capability of 18,477 MW is assumed, country would
need additional 13,310 MW (net) by the year 2020, requiring an
investment of $15 billion
The government is looking towards private sector to bring additional
generation on coal, hydro and renewable energy on fast track basis
In order to encourage private sector, the government has been issuing
various policies/ guidelines from time to time in the past at both federal
and provincial levels

11. PLANS TO ENHANCE POWER GENERATION
CAPACITY AND ALLIED INFRASTRUCTURE
11
The Present Government is striving hard to overcome the ongoing power
crisis which has adversely impacted the National Economy.
A number of initiatives are in progress to enhance generation capacity of the
system, including power plants based on coal, hydel, gas and renewable
resources, both in public as well as private sector.
The GoP has recently approved Power Generation Policy which provides
attractive incentives for private investors
Extensive networks of high voltage transmission lines and grid stations are
being developed to evacuate power from upcoming mega coal and hydel
projects to be located southern and northern part of country.
