NEPRA has accorded final approval of the Tripartite Power Purchase Agreement made between K-Electric, NTDC and CPPA-G for supply of 150 MW from National Grid to K-Electric through 03 WPPs i.e. namely 50 MW Tenaga, 50 MW Zephyr and 50 MW Hydro China Dawood.
Work on the 220 kV Dhabeji Grid and transmission lines has started and finalization of contractual arrangements for the off-take of additional 1,400 MW from National Grid (including 450 MW from existing interconnections) is in advanced stages.
The Jebel Ali complex of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has been recognized as the largest single-site natural gas power generation facility in the world.
But even as supply surges, electric power is still not reaching up to 50 million people in Pakistan who need it, according to a 2018 World Bank report, though expansion of transmission lines is planned.
