 FOREWORD

The generation sector of Pakistan has witnessed a major transformation over the last five years
(2013-2018), by moving towards a reliable supply system through large base-load power plants
using indigenous and imported coal and through highly efficient gas-based plants. A number
of large hydropower plants have also achieved completion, whereas till date around 1,500 MW
of solar and wind power plants, have also been inducted to encourage clean energy. Furnace
Oil-based power generation plants which remained face of Pakistan power sector for over three
decades, have been planned to be phased out over next few years and it is expected that the share
of furnace oil-based energy will decline from around 30% to a negligible level in the overall mix
in the coming years.

The challenges however, are immense, the addition of generation facilities have put added pressure
for a strong transmission and distribution infrastructure to make the delivery of electricity to
end-consumers possible. Over the years, the regulator has been stressing the need for strong
and robust networks for a reliable power supply, however it is the concerted and urgent efforts
of National Transmission and Despatch Company Limited (NTDC) and Distribution Companies
(DISCOs) which can ensure sustainable reliable power supply to end-consumers.

Taking a holistic view of the transmission and distribution sectors, it is noted that (39%)1
transformers at 500/220 kV level were loaded above 80% of their rated capacity on June, 2017.
At 220/132 kV level, (55%)2 transformers are overloaded. In distribution sector, at the end of June
2017, about 37% of high capacity transformers (power transformers) were over-loaded (above 80%
of their capacity). Similarly 29% of the 11 kV feeders, used for bulk transmission of electricity at
distribution level, were found over-loaded, whereas more than 12% of the distribution transformers
are loaded above 80% of their capacity. It is also noted that on an overall basis, the overloading of
equipment has slightly improved over the last year i.e. 2015-16 when the supply of electricity was
constrained. With more supply available now, the system is expected to also meet the suppressed
demand, which was not connected to the network earlier. Therefore a routine historical pace of
improvement and refurbishment in network would not ensure provision of a reliable electricity
supply to consumers.

The DISCOs on one hand, would have to strive to strengthen their network for providing reliable
electricity supply, whereas on the other, they would be pressed to increase their energy sales,
so that overall impact of increased capacity payments, due to additional generation capacity is
neutralized, through increased energy sold, and the consumer-end tariff remains at affordable
level.

Over the years the transmission and distribution losses could not be curtailed by the DISCOs and
having taken divergent and contradictory positions about losses, almost all the DISCOs have now
proposed new and higher loss levels than earlier requested. It is a matter of concern that DISCOs
could not take such measures to bring improvement in this critical area. Ministry of Energy (Power
Division) is also required to assign due priority to this major impediment in sustainability of the
power sector in Pakistan. It may be noted that all efforts to bring efficiency in the sector would be
defeated if the DISCOs do not improve their Transmission and Distribution (T&D) loss position.

The Regulator has noted inconsistent positions of the Ministry of Energy (Power Division), especially
1

 in respect of introduction of renewable energy based generation facilities including wind, solar
and small hydropower plants. For fuel diversity and reducing dependence on imported fuels, the
Ministry of Energy is required to be consistent for achieving overall objectives outlined in policies
of the Federal Government.

Recently approved Amendment Act, 2018 has brought major changes in the existing regulatory
regime. The distribution function has been separated into wire and sale businesses. In addition
concepts of “trader” and “supplier” have been introduced which are entirely new for all the
stakeholders. The Federal Government has also enhanced its role in policy and rule making for
the regulator. The Amendment Act, 2018 provides for a major shift from the existing regime and
it is observed that extensive discussions and consultations among stakeholders are required to
identify gaps and resolve issues for making smooth transition to the new regime.

It is also noted that a number of entities with very specific roles have been defined in the
Amendment Act. It appears that these entities are not well prepared to take over their assigned
roles as human resource readiness, software and hardware availability and other skills essential for
such roles are not available. It is urged to initiate dialogue at all levels to make regulatory regime
through Amendment Act a success.

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Over the past few years the policy makers in Pakistan have recognized it and made concerted
efforts for development in the power sector in general and generation sector in particular. Sufficient
generation capacity has already been added in the system resulting in considerable improvement
in load-shedding position all over the country. As per records, further generation capacity at
different stages of implementation, will also be added over the next three years, (leading to a
capacity surplus scenario in view of the available demand forecasts). Evacuation of power from
these facilities has put extra burden on transmission and distribution sectors. Infrastructure deficit
and absence of performance improvement in these sectors may hamper the economic benefits
foreseen due to huge investment in the generation facilities.

1.1 INSTALLED POWER GENERATION CAPACITY

Installed power generation capacity of Pakistan as of 30th June, 2017 stands at 28,399 MW of
which 26,186 MW is connected with NTDC system whereas 2,213 MW is connected with K-Electric
Limited (KEL) system. Since 2013 till date, more than 7,000 MW has been added to the generation
facilities connected to NTDC system. Based on recent information by NTDC, and analysis by NEPRA,
generation capacity additions in NTDC system over a period up to the FY 2024-25 are as shown
in the following table. It may be noted that the final installed capacity of more than 62,000 MW
may not be achieved as some of the power projects including hydro-based projects indicated to
be inducted from 2022 to 2025 require extensive technical and financial prerequisites to complete.

1.2 POWER BALANCES

1.2.1 NTDC System:

The generation capability of generation facilities connected with NTDC system will be less than the
installed capacity as shown in the above table due to various factors like auxiliary consumption,
impact of site reference conditions and seasonality effects on the renewables and large hydropower
plants. The generation capability is effectively the capacity for meeting the electricity demand in

5
 NTDC system. The data about generation capability and future demand as reported by NTDC
is shown in the following table. It may be noted that sufficient generation capability would be
available in the NTDC system to meet future demand at peak times representing power surplus
scenario. It is also to be noted that the capacity surplus in the later years i.e. 2022 to 2025 may not
be available due to multiple issues and resulting uncertainties in completion of large hydro-based
power projects.

1.2.2 K-Electric Limited System:

Following table shows power supply and demand position in KEL system based on the investment
plans of KEL. It may be noted that till 2020, KEL can barely meet the expected demand at peak
times and outage of a power plant or even, outage of a single unit of around 200 MW may result
in overall breakdown of the system. Even the surplus expected in 2021 would not be enough to
operate KEL system with technically prudent margins:

1.3 ISSUES OF POWER GENERATION ADDITIONS

1.3.1 Capacity and Energy Mix:

The Government of Pakistan has been pursuing broad objectives for the power generation
development including, renewable energy, moving to environmental friendly fuels and reduced
dependence on imported fuels. Also diversification of fuel resources and security of fuel supply
were among its priorities. The addition of different new generation technologies shown above will
change the power mix of the sector from Furnace Oil-based to Coal, RLNG and Renewables as no
major addition has been planned on Furnace Oil. The following table shows changes in installed
capacity mix over three representative periods.

Clear trends may be noted in respect of different fuels. In the FY 2016-17 about 9,000 MW is based
on Gas/RLNG, which increases to 12,626 MW by the FY 2020-21, however no further addition is
foreseen till the FY 2024-25. Oil based power generation plants have not been planned throughout
the period and share of oil based generation capacity declines from 25.91% in the FY 2016-17 to
10.91% in the FY 2024-25. Share of coal-based generation increases from 3.09% in the FY 2016-
17 to 19.56% in the FY 2024-25 mainly on Thar Coal based projects. Hydro-based generation
capacity also increases from about 7,000 MW in the FY 2016-17 to 20,676 MW in the FY 2024-25
representing a share of more than 33% in the overall installed generation capacity.

Regarding future energy pattern, based on future projections, it is expected that the energy from
Furnace Oil and High Speed Diesel based power plants will reduce from around 32,000 GWh in the
FY 2016-17 representing about 31% of the energy generation in NTDC system, to around 17,000
GWh in the FY 2017-18 (14% of the total) to a negligible level in the coming years. Indigenous gas
and LNG based energy though a fossil fuel, however being a relatively clean fuel, is expected to
account for around 40% of total energy generated in the FY 2019-20 compared to 29% in the FY
2016-17.

1.3.1.1 Induction of Renewable Energy:

Although prices of solar and wind technologies have plummeted over the pasts years, the growth
of generation facilities based on these has not been witnessed as expected. The generation plans
over next three years also, do not include major additions of solar and wind. Initially some technical
issues like absence of relevant studies required to establish limits for the induction of wind and
solar generation facilities for a safe and reliable operation of the overall National Grid, prevented
their development on a large scale. Lately however, the Ministry of Energy (Power Division) could
not provide a clear policy about the induction of renewable energy based projects, although
a number of solar and wind based power generation projects had completed all procedural
7
 requirements for implementation.

Similarly small hydropower plants which also represent a renewable energy based source, could
not be built as the Ministry of Energy (Power Division) did not provide a clear policy about their
induction. Barring a number of issues like continuity of power supply throughout the year in case of
small hydropower generation plants and intermittent nature of power supply in case of wind and
solar, the advantages of these technologies make them the priority source of power generation in
the long term scenario of any country in the world. These not only provide clean energy but help in
fuel security while reducing dependence on imported fuels. Small hydropower plants may appear
to be relatively expensive than solar and wind at this stage, however their economic and financial
benefits are far greater if their extremely long operational life is considered in the analysis.

In order to encourage renewable energy while also capturing the benefits of declining prices
of wind and solar, NEPRA announced a series of upfront tariff rounds, which allowed shorter
processing times for the development of projects in addition to lower tariffs, consistent with the
international trends. To have more attractive tariffs for the sector, lately, NEPRA has recommended
to follow competitive bidding regime, which has been successfully used in different countries to
have most competitive prices. In this respect, the role of Alternative Energy Development Board
(AEDB) has become extremely important as being the relevant agency under the Ministry of Energy
for the development of renewable energy projects. AEDB was required and it publically made a
commitment to develop detailed documents including Request for Proposal (RFP) for facilitating
competitive bidding for inducting renewable energy based projects. After a lapse of more than
year and a half, however, AEDB has not been able to come up with these documents, thus creating
an overall uncertainty in the sector specifically for prospective investors in the renewable energy.
The Ministry of Energy (Power Division) is therefore urged to take a clear and consistent policy
about the induction of solar, wind and small hydropower projects. Accordingly, AEDB should
initiate schedule for competitive bidding in solar and wind power projects at the earliest.

NEPRA has notified multiple tariffs under the NEPRA Up-front Tariff (Approval and Procedure)
Regulations 2011, including upfront tariffs for Bagasse and Small Hydropower Generation Plants
for providing an incentivized regime for clean power technologies. However, the CPPA-G as sole
procurer of power on behalf of DISCOs, has in various cases refused to grant authorization for
projects being implemented under tariffs and licences granted by the regulator. Moreover, the
CPPA-G has continually acted in an ad-hoc and discriminatory manner towards various IPPs and
other power projects. Ministry of Energy (Power Division) is therefore required to streamline
internal functioning of CPPA-G on these matters.

1.3.1.2 Dynamics of Fuel:

Fuel used for power generation plays a critical role as the availability of power generation facilities
is directly linked to the fuel availability and its price in the international market. The exchange rate
also impacts the overall price of fuel and ultimately the consumer-end tariff as fuel price is treated
as a pass through component in final tariff. In medium term, National Power Policy 2013, focused
on reducing the basket price through cheaper fuels and addition of affordable and sustainable
power generation to the grid. Reducing country’s reliance on imported oil has been another broad
objective. For achieving these objectives, indigenous coal through Thar mining, imported coal, LNG
based power plants, nuclear, solar and wind power are under implementation. It is expected that
dependence on furnace oil will sharply come down. In order to reduce dependence on imported
fuels, the Federal Government has decided to put a cap on the power generation plants based on
imported coal. On similar lines, although LNG is a cleaner fuel, the Federal Government may look
8
into replacing it by construction of large and small hydropower projects through public-private
partnership. A preliminary working shows that any slippage of 1 Rupee against US$ would add,
roughly Rs. 4 billion annually, to the imported fuel bill for the planned generation facilities in near
future.

1.3.2 Impact of Capacity Additions:

From an overall perspective, addition of new power generation capacity to reduce and totally
eliminate power shortages in the country makes economic sense, as the unserved energy impacts
negatively to the economy of the country as a whole. At the same time however, one must be
cognizant of different issues which also need to be addressed simultaneously, to optimize benefits
of additional energy supply to the sector. It is noted that the Federal Government efforts to lower
the overall consumer-end tariff may suffer if in addition to lowering fuel costs, the capacity cost is
not kept at an affordable level.

1.3.2.1 Adequacy of Transmission System:

According to the information by NTDC, its transformation capacity of 18,624 MVA at 500 kV level
at June, 2017 is expected to increase to 21,150 MVA by June, 2018. NTDC plans to add another
11,700 MVA over next four years. At 220 kV level NTDC plans to add more than 21,000 MVA over
the June, 2017 level of 25,660 MVA. The adequacy of transmission system is mainly dependent
on the 220 kV level transformation capacity as it is the interconnection voltage level between
NTDC and DISCOs. It may be noted that by May and June 2018, the transmission system will be
sufficient at the margin to meet demand at the peak time. Therefore transmission congestions
may be experienced in certain pockets of the system. However it is important that NTDC meets
its project schedules and delays are not encountered. Addition of matching transmission lines are
also critical for the evacuation of upcoming generation projects, as prudent utility practices and
criteria are required to be followed for a reliable transmission network. NTDC is advised to ensure
implementation of its transmission line projects according to the scheduled dates.

 The transformation capacity
of NTDC system at 220 kV
level is charted against the
projected demand of NTDC
system as shown here. The
planned transformation
capacity would be adequate
over next four year forecast,
to pass the demand of
the system if the planned
implementation schedules
of different projects are
met.

1.3.2.2 Capacity Payments:

An analysis, only for the capacity payments corresponding to generation facilities in NTDC system,
shows that such payments which were around Rs. 280 billion in the FY 2015-16 and reached
more than Rs. 350 billion in the FY 2016-17, would be close to Rs. 490 billion in the FY 2017-18. A
preliminary working in relation to the energy sold, after addition of new power generation plants,
shows that capacity cost per unit of energy sold which was slightly higher than Rs. 3.4 in the FY
2015-16 would be around Rs. 4.1 in the FY 2016-17; an increase of Rs. 0.7/unit corresponding to a
6.2% growth in energy sold in the FY 2016-17 over the FY 2015-16. For the first six months of the
FY 2017-18, a growth in energy sold of more than 12.31% over the same period of the FY 2016-17
has been recorded. It is however noted that this growth rate would not be enough to keep the
capacity cost component at the same level i.e. Rs. 4.1, as the expected cost components would
be close to Rs. 5/unit. In order to keep the capacity cost component at the FY 2016-17 level, the
energy sold would be required to increase by at least 30% from the FY 2017-18 to the FY 2018-19.
Further analysis shows that in order to keep the capacity payment per unit of energy sold, at the
level of the FY 2015-16, at least 57% increase in energy sold would be required in the FY 2018-
19 over the FY 2017-18. It is understood that the suppressed demand would also be connected
to the system as the electricity is made available, however, in all likelihood, an increase of more
than 30% will not be achievable. Various factors including the presence of high loss feeders, in
foreseeable future would not let the energy sold, to be increased beyond say 9% to 10% annually,
over coming years. With such level of increases in energy sold, the capacity payment close to Rs.
5/unit of energy sold may be expected making the overall energy cost expensive, necessitating
increased sustained efforts for cheaper fuels to keep overall tariff at affordable levels.

1.3.2.3 Need for Increasing Energy Sold:

Since increasing the level of energy sold is the most critical parameter which can impact positively
on the capacity cost per unit sold, therefore all possible means should be explored in this respect.
It is noted that power is not supplied by DISCOs to consumers due to multiple reasons including
constraints in the transmission and distribution systems, non-availability of generation due to fuel
constraints and other unspecified factors. In addition the Ministry of Energy (Power Division) as
a policy has decided not to supply electricity on high-loss feeders which add to the overall load
being shed. It is therefore required to address these factors on war-footing for improvement in the
system, so that, additional energy is made available through the same power generation capacity.

10
1.3.2.4 Need for Local Manufacturing for Power Sector Equipment:
Pakistan as a country has become a consumer market, and it is also true for power sector
machinery and equipment, all of which is invariably imported. Although recently there have been
a number of very attractive low cost agreements for power equipment, specifically for RLNG
based projects, overall it has been noted to be a supplier’s choice. In order to lower the overall
cost of power sector, it is imperative that plant and machinery in generation, transmission and
distribution sectors is acquired at competitive prices, prevalent in the regional countries like India.
Over the years, local manufacturing of power sector plant and machinery has remained as a low
priority for the policy makers. It is however stressed that in order to have affordable consumer-end
tariffs, local manufacturing of all major equipment used in power sector be undertaken. Steps in
this respect be initiated forthwith.

1.4 NATIONAL ELECTRICITY POLICY AND PLAN

The Federal Government has rightly decided to formulate an overall National Electricity Policy
and National Electricity Plan for future development of electricity generation, transmission and
distribution sectors. The National Electricity Policy would also provide road map for the market
structure. The Authority considers that formulation of National Electricity Plans should be a regular
activity by relevant agencies, as the plans should be evolving and reflect technological and financial
changes in the sector. The Authority also notes that National Electricity Plans should be adopted
in letter and spirit as earlier such plans, though quite comprehensive, were never formed the basis
of power sector development. Consequently roller coaster development of sector continued as
occasional surpluses and long periods of electricity shortages were witnessed.

1.5 PERFORMANCE OF GENERATION SECTOR

1.5.1 Public Sector (GENCOs and Hydel):

1.5.1.1 Jamshoro Power Company Limited (GENCO-I):

The energy generated by GENCO-I during the FY 2016-17 was 3,593 GWh, while, it was 3,828
GWh in the FY 2015-16; a decrease of 235 GWh or 6.14%, over last year. Net efficiency of GENCO-I
during 2016-17 stood at 28.42% for TPS Jamshoro and 27.05% for GTPS Kotri. With a capacity
utilization of 58.04% for TPS Jamshoro and 33.51% for GTPS Kotri due to forced outages and
various maintenance issues, the overall performance of GENCO-I has not been satisfactory.

1.5.1.2 Central Power Generation Company Limited (GENCO-II):

Total installed capacity of GENCO-II, up to 30th June, 2017 has been noted as 2,402 MW. No new
generation plant was inducted during the year under review for GENCO-II. The energy generated
by GENCO-II during the FY 2016-17 has been recorded at 8,079 GWh, while, it was 6,031 GWh
during the FY 2015-16; an increase of 33.97%, compared with that of the last year. It is observed
that various units of GENCO-II have remained off-bar for several years due to maintenance issues,
forced outages, fuel constraints and rehabilitation activities etc. and are not being fully utilized.
With reduced annual efficiency and reduced capacity utilization factor, the overall performance of
GENCO-II has been unsatisfactory.

1.5.1.3 Northern Power Generation Company Limited (GENCO-III):

Total installed capacity of GENCO-III, up to 30th June, 2017 has been noted as 2,293 MW. During
the FY 2016-17, the installed capacity of GENCO-III remained same as compared with that of the
year 2015-16. The energy generated by GENCO-III during the FY 2016-17 was 6,861 GWh, while

11
 it was 6,273 GWh during the FY 2015-16 showing an increase of 588 GWh or 9.37%, compared
with the last year. It is observed that the overall net efficiency of TPS Muzaffargarh, SPS Faisalabad,
GTPS Faisalabad and Nandipur remained very low. Reportedly, due to various maintenance issues,
forced outages and fuel constraints etc. resulting in annual capacity utilization of 48.21% for TPS
Muzaffargarh, 14.52% for SPS Faisalabad, 12.27% for GTPS Faisalabad and 38.52% for Nandipur
Power Plant, the overall performance of GENCO-III cannot be termed as satisfactory.

1.5.1.4 Lakhra Power Generation Company Limited (GENCO-IV):

Total installed capacity of GENCO-IV, up to 30th June, 2017 has been noted as 150 MW. GENCO-IV
had three units of 50 MW and during the FY 2016-17, generated 124 GWh as compared to 148
GWh produced during the FY 2015-16. It may be noted that, against the installed capacity of 150
MW, approximately, two third capacity of GENCO-IV is available for generation, which is also not
being fully utilized due to forced outages etc. With utilization factor of 22.68% for the FY 2016-17,
the overall performance of GENCO-IV has remained unsatisfactory.

As a whole GENCOs continued to operate at very low efficiencies than their design values, mostly
on expensive furnace oil. It is also noted that these power plants are also not being operated
according to prudent utility practices. GENCOs have low utilization factors and have also been
operated in standby mode, where they incur costs without contributing energy to the National
Grid, as they are ranked very low in the dispatch merit order. It is noted that during the FY 2016-17
about Rs. 39 billion has been paid to GENCOs on account of capacity payments, while around Rs.
156 billion were charged on account of energy payments. Ministry of Energy (Power Division) is
therefore urged to phase out these facilities in view of their inefficient and uneconomic role in the
sector. Due to their high operating costs, some of these plants may be totally closed down even if
their capacity costs are continued to be paid, to minimize economic loss to the sector.

1.5.1.5 Hydropower:
The installed capacity of WAPDA Hydropower remained at 6,902 MW in the years 2015, 2016 and
2017; however, the 31,091 GWh generated in the FY 2016-17, shows a decrease of 2,342 GWh
from the last year. The decrease in energy production may be attributed to water availability
and irrigation releases from large reservoir based power plants. Similarly, the Hydel IPPs also
contributed 133 GWh less in the system during the FY 2016-17 with the same installed capacity
as in the FY 2015-16. As for performance of major public sector hydropower plants including
Tarbela, and Mangla, that is comparable with international standards of efficiency, availability and
auxiliary consumption levels. The hydropower energy production pattern over the year remained
consistent with the historical trends.

1.5.1.5.1 Power Purchase Agreements/Energy Purchase Agreements:

NEPRA has approved the PPAs of two large hydropower projects under Section 5 of “NEPRA Interim
Power Procurement (Procedure and Standards) Regulations, 2005”. Details of these projects are
given below:

S. No. Project Name Capacity (MW) Power Purchaser

1 Karot Hydropower Project 720 CPPA-G
2 Suki Kinari Hydropower Project 870 CPPA-G

1.5.1.5.2 Competitive Bidding of Hydropower Projects:

NEPRA has approved the Request for Proposal (RFP) of Taunsa Hydropower Project and six other
projects identified by PEDO under the Competitive Bidding Tariff (Approval Procedure) Regulations

12
(CBTR), 2014. Subsequently, the bidding under CBTR-2014 for Taunsa Hydropower Project was
successfully completed and the Authority has accordingly notified the lowest successful bidder.
This was the first power generation project whose tariff has been determined through Competitive
Bidding in Pakistan’s power sector.

1.5.1.5.3 Performance Monitoring of Hydropower Projects:

The monitoring of different hydropower projects was carried out in the year 2017 to check their
performance according to the terms and conditions set in Licence, PPA, Tariff Determination and
other relevant rules and regulations.

NEPRA has noted the unsatisfactory performance of Malakand-III (81 MW), Jinnah (96 MW) and
Khan Khwar (72 MW) Hydropower Plants. The sponsors and the power purchaser have been
directed to improve the operation and maintenance of these plants.

1.5.1.5.4 Implementations of Authority’s Directions:

The Authority noted that a number of holders of LOIs for hydropower project sites were
inordinately delaying the development of these sites. Accordingly, directions were issued to the
relevant agencies to cancel all those LOI/LOS of projects which have been inordinately delayed
by the sponsors. As a result, a number of LOIs and LOSs of hydropower sites were cancelled by
implementing agencies and the process for their speedy development was initiated. These include
the following large hydropower projects:

S. No. Project Name Capacity (MW)

1 Sehara Hydropower Project 130
2 Madian Hydropower Project 157
3 Asrit Kedam Hydropower Project 215
4 Chakothi Hattian Hydropower Project 500

Advisories were also issued to CPPA-G/Power Purchaser to expedite process of implementation of

small hydropower projects and signing of PPAs.

1.5.2 Private Sector (Independent Power Producers):

Performance of thermal Independent Power Producers (IPPs) remained satisfactory during the
FY 2016-17, with respect to the NEPRA Performance Standards (Generation) Rules, 2009. Further
details may be found in subsequent chapters of the report.

1.6 TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

As of 30th June 2017, NTDC is maintaining 14 (fourteen) 500 kV grid stations with a transformation
capacity of 18,624 MVA. There are 33 (thirty three) 500/220 kV transformers and 35 (thirty five)
220/132 kV transformers installed at these grid stations. At 220 kV level there are 38 grid stations
with a transformation capacity of 25,660 MVA. There are 108 (one hundred eight) 220/132 kV
transformers installed at 220 kV grid stations.

Out of 33 transformers at 500/220 kV level, 13 transformers (39%) are loaded above 80% of
their rated capacity. Similarly, out of 143 (one hundred forty three) 220/132 kV transformers, 79
transformers are overloaded, representing around 55% overloading in the system.

1.6.1 Outages on NTDC Transmission Lines (500 kV and 220 kV):

As reported by NTDC the number of planned and unplanned outages in the FY 2016-17 have
increased as compared to the FY 2015-16 at 500 kV and 220 kV levels. As for duration of outages
13
 the total duration of planned outages increased in the FY 2016-17 as compared to the FY 2015-16,
for both 500 kV and 220 kV levels. For unplanned or forced outages, the total duration reduced in
the FY 2016-17 compared to the FY 2015-16:

1.7 OVERLOADING IN DISCOs’ SYSTEM

Power delivery through DISCOs’ networks mainly depends on the adequacy of three major
components including power transformers (mostly 132/11 kV transformers), 11 kV feeders and
finally the distribution transformers. The following tables provide a comparison of overloaded
components in all DISCOs for the FY 2015-16 and the FY 2016-17.

1.7.1 Loading Position of Power Transformers:

On an overall country basis overloading on power transformers has slightly reduced in the FY 2016-
17 from that of the FY 2015-16 but it is still very high, as 36.82% of the total power transformers
in the DISCOs are overloaded, pointing to potential problems. On DISCO to DISCO comparison,
FESCO and QESCO have more than their 50% power transformers overloaded above 80%, followed
by HESCO, PESCO and SEPCO having more than 40% of their transformers overloaded.

1.7.2 Loading Position of 11 kV Feeders:

Country-wise overloading on 11 kV feeders has slightly increased, as 29.00% of the total feeders
are loaded above 80% compared to 28.14% last year. On DISCO level, PESCO and TESCO have the
highest percentage (more than 50%) of overloaded feeders, followed by QESCO, SEPCO, MEPCO
and LESCO (more than 30%).

From above it is noted that although PESCO, SEPCO, TESCO and QESCO have generally been
accepted as those DISCOs, which have consistently shown poor performance levels, what is more
worrying however, is that according to the above statistics, the so called better performers like
LESCO and MEPCO have a poor record for 11 kV overloaded feeders. LESCO has the worst record
of overloading of distribution transformers. Similarly FESCO has very serious issues to tackle with
the overloading of its power transformers. Considering the share of these DISCOs in the overall
energy consumption, further delays in overcoming these issues will be disastrous for the power
sector.

1.7.4 Province-wise Loading Positions:

1.8 TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION LOSSES OF DISCOs

The following table gives actual T&D losses of DISCOs for the FY 2016-17 and a comparison
between the actual T&D losses for the two years i.e. FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17:

Source: PEPCO

It may be noted that as a whole, DISCOs did not show any improvement in transmission and
distribution losses, as their overall losses have been recorded as 17.95% for both the years. The
losses in HESCO increased by 4.29% in the FY 2016-17 over those of the FY 2015-16. SEPCO also
showed slight increase in its losses. Losses of MEPCO also increased by 0.46%; however it is a
matter of concern that one of better DISCOs i.e. FESCO could not reduce or even maintain its
losses at the FY 2015-16 level of 10.24%, as its losses in the FY 2016-17 increased to 10.57%. As
discussed earlier DISCOs need to improve their operational performance to take advantage of the
improved electricity supply availability, otherwise financial position of the power sector and the
overall economy will have a huge negative impact. The T&D losses of DISCOs are among the most
discussed and debated issues in the context of power sector. The Regulator has also been advising
and directing the DISCOs for taking operational and managerial steps to control their losses and
bring those, closer to prudent levels. NEPRA has also allowed huge investment funds every year
to DISCOs, so that new and critical projects are initiated and completed on time. Since all DISCOs
are owned and controlled by the Ministry of Energy (Power Division), therefore, the Regulator has
always been pointing out this critical issue to relevant quarters at all fora. It is however observed,
that DISCOs’ performance in this area remained unsatisfactory throughout. Except for one or two
companies, the others have remained oblivious to gravity of the matter. It is also noted that the
DISCOs have obvious, lack of managerial capacity and skills, mindset to not go for such projects
which may bring improvements in this area; for instance increasing metering at all levels to trace
flow of electricity top-down, automatic metering and centralized monitoring. Long standing
efforts for passing on the actual losses without any apparent desire to lower losses, have in fact
encouraged DISCOs to conceal their inefficiencies under this head. DISCOs seem contended with
their performance levels, and that approach at this cross-road where the Federal Government has

16
inducted a large generation capacity to the system may drag the whole sector down if immediate
steps to correct this position are not taken.

1.9 RECOVERY POSITION OF DISCOs

The following table shows a comparison of recovery ratios for all the DISCOs for the two years.
It may be seen that apart from HESCO, PESCO and IESCO who improved upon their recovery
position, none of the other DISCOs was able to improve its position over the previous year. LESCO
managed to stay at the same level of good recovery ratio in the FY 2016-17, whereas FESCO,
MEPCO and GEPCO could not match their performance of the last year as their recovery dropped
by approximately 3% during the FY 2016-17. QESCO’s recovery position deteriorated drastically
during the FY 2016-17 as only 43.55% of the amount billed was recovered. SEPCO though showed
more than 100% recovery but in fact it is due to certain adjustment made with the Government of
Sindh which has inflated the true recovery for the year.

1.9.1 Recovery Position of Main Categories of Consumers (%):

To narrow down the areas of interest, following charts show performance of all the DISCOs in
the four major categories of consumers. It may be noted that IESCO was able to maintain quite
a consistent and satisfactory recovery ratios for all the consumer categories. GEPCO managed
satisfactory ratios for domestic and commercial consumers however for industrial and agricultural
consumers, it needs to improve its recovery to come closer to IESCO. LESCO needs to focus more on
agricultural consumers for improving its recovery position for this category. FESCO also achieved
quite satisfactory recovery ratios except for industrial consumers for which recovery position can
be improved through better managerial efforts. Similarly, MEPCO also needs to address recovery
issues with the industrial sector to improve its position. PESCO has shown an overall improvement
in this area, however its recovery in domestic category is close to 84% which requires sustained
efforts by the company management to target above 90% recovery in this category. It is observed
that HESCO and SEPCO require hectic efforts to improve their recovery position in domestic
sector. QESCO’s inferior performance is mainly due to poor recovery position of agricultural and
domestic consumers.

 1.10 PERFORMANCE OF K-ELECTRIC LIMITED
By March 2018, KEL had installed capacity of 2,261 MW through its own power plants whereas IPPs
and CPPs add another 442 MW to KEL system. In addition to 137 MW KANUPP power plant, NTDC
is also providing 650 MW to KEL system. Due to aging and deterioration in generation facilities,
KEL’s present capacity is reported as 1,973 MW. Since KEL is responsible for maintaining integrated
systems of generation, transmission and distribution, therefore it is required to look for other
sources to meet the supply and demand gap. Inability of KEL to effectively increase its generation
capacity has made it dependent on external power sources, including the import from NTDC
system. During the FY 2016-17 also, in addition to purchasing power from IPPs, KEL imported
around 650 MW of power from NTDC on regular basis. Although the agreement between NTDC
and KEL for power purchase has already expired, the power is still being supplied to meet the
requirement of KEL consumers.

The energy generated during the FY 2016-17 through KEL own power plants is noted as 10,147
GWh which shows a decrease of 176 GWh as compared to the previous year figure i.e. 10,323
GWh; a decrease of 1.7%.

During the year KEL continued to underutilize its own generation power plants and it was also noted
to ignore merit order operation of its power plants. The Authority initiated relevant proceedings
under its law to address the matter.

KEL reportedly faced gas supply issues which added to problems of the utility, as the KEL power
plants during the FY 2016-17 used 55,016 MMCFT of gas, which is lower by 11,867 MMCFT as
compared to its gas consumption during the FY 2015-16.

It may be noted that KEL was able to improve the average efficiency of its generation fleet from
30.4% in 2009 to present levels of 37% in 2017. The design thermal efficiency of some units of
BQPS-I on oil and gas were 37.5% and 36% respectively. Owing to lack of proper O&M practices,
the current average efficiency of BQPS-I is hovering around 33.64% which although is better than
GENCOs’ similar plants, having efficiencies in the range of 24% to 32% but when compared to the
efficiency of 38.60% as allowed to private power plants under 1994 Power Policy, the efficiency
and availability levels of KEL are not satisfactory.

1.10.1 Loading Position of Power Transformers, 11 kV Feeders and Distribution Transformers:

The following table provides overloading positions (above 80%) of overloaded components in KEL
for the FY 2015-16 and the FY 2016-17:

Description 2015-16 2016-17

Total No. of Over-Loaded Power Transformers (above 80%) 31 59
Percentage of Total Over-Loaded Power Transformers (above 80%) 22.63 42.75
Total No. of Over-Loaded 11 kV Feeders (above 80%) 104 91
Percentage of Total Over-Loaded 11 kV Feeders (above 80%) 6.82 5.51
Total No. of Over-Loaded Distribution Transformers (above 80%) 648 551
Percentage of Total Over-Loaded Distribution Transformers (above 80%) 2.78 2.15
Source: KEL

It is noted that more than 40% power transformers of KEL are overloaded in the FY 2016-17,
whereas in the FY 2015-16 approximately 22% transformers were noted to be operating above 80%

18
of their rated capacity. It may be concluded that KEL has not added enough power transformers
in its network to maintain at least the same ratio of overloaded transformers as of last year,
whereas it was required to maintain a system capable of providing a reliable supply at all times
for consumers. KEL’s failure to add adequate number of power transformers was among the major
reasons for frequent tripping and prolonged load shed hours during the FY 2016-17.

1.10.2 Recovery Position of K-Electric Limited:

KEL’s position is also not satisfactory although
its’ recovery position has slightly improved
than the last year. It is noted that the domestic
consumers have a 51% share in total energy
billed by KEL however; it could recover only
82% of the amount corresponding to that
energy. Unless KEL takes effective measures
in this category, it would be quite difficult to
improve the overall financial health of the
company. Being a private sector entity, NEPRA
requires that innovative measures be taken
by KEL to show its commitment for meeting
the overall objectives of a prudent utility.

1.11 THE REGULATION OF GENERATION, TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION OF
ELECTRIC POWER (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2018
The Parliament has recently passed the Regulation of Generation, Transmission and Distribution of
Electric Power (Amendment) Act, 2018 [Act No. XII of 2018]. The Amendment Act has restructured
and evolved the energy sector in material respects and overhauled the role and responsibilities of
NEPRA. The material changes to the law introduced vide the Amendment Act are as follows:

1.11.1 Major Amendments:

The qualifying experience of the Chairman and members of the Authority have been reduced from
20 years to 12 years respectively, and the retirement ages of Members and the Chairman from 65
years to 60 years.

The concepts of the National Electricity Policy (formulated by the Federal Government and
approved by the CCI) and National Electricity Plan (formulated by the Federal Government in
consultation with Provincial Governments) have been introduced in the law. The Authority has to

19
 exercise its mandate in accordance with both the Policy and Plan.

The law has further introduced frameworks for establishment and functioning of an Appellate
Tribunal, under which all orders and determinations of the Authority shall be appealable.

The major focus of the Amendment Act has been to introduce various market-based frameworks
in the energy sector, to create a competitive market regime. The law has introduced new entities,
such as the Energy Supplier and Energy Trader, and revised the regulatory regime for existing
entities, by introducing the new Market Operator and System Operator Licences. Traditional
elements of the energy sector have also been reformed under this spirit, by the provision of
a cessation mechanism for all Generation Licences and removal of exclusivity for Distribution
Companies.

Flowing from the above, NEPRA’s role in the forthcoming energy sector has also been revised,
with a major focus on the regulator’s enforcement powers. The Authority has been granted new
enforcement powers of investigation, prohibition orders, issuance of directions and indemnity.
In addition, the function of NEPRA as a regulation-making body has also been bolstered, with
numerous subject matters falling within the purview of regulations to be exclusively prescribed by
the Authority.

With a focus on betterment of end-consumer service, a new consumer complaints office

framework has been introduced in the law, under which offices are envisioned to be established at
a district level for overseeing complaints relating to overbilling, metering, theft etc. Concurrently,
new penal provisions and offences have been introduced in statute, including the punishment of
imprisonment.

1.11.2 Challenges:
The above discussed reforms represent a significant departure from the traditional regulatory
framework under which NEPRA has been functioning for the preceding 20 years. As such, the
Authority shall be facing innumerable challenges in effectuating the reforms introduced vide the
Amendment Act.

The most significant revision to NEPRA’s regulatory purview under the Amendment Act is the
introduction of the National Electricity Policy and Plan, and the Appellate Tribunal. Previously, all
functions of the Authority were executed in an independent, impartial and unfettered manner.
Now all functions are subject and subservient to both the Policy and Plan, and are directly
appealable before the Appellate Tribunal. These frameworks curtail the autonomy of the regulator
in material respects. As such, the regulator has to undertake the challenging task of reevaluating
and realigning its regulatory functions in accordance with the new legal regime.

The establishment of the Appellate Tribunal and district-level consumer complaint offices present
further challenges for the Authority. The Appellate Tribunal is to be manned by 3 Members with
diverse experiences and expertise, and provided in the law. However, it will be challenging for the
Tribunal to adjudicate on complex matters that the Authority, with its 100 professionals holding
immeasurable cumulative expertise in the sector, itself executes. Moreover, the Tribunal represents
an additional layer in the dispensation of justice in an already exhaustive appellate framework.
In addition, the establishment of more than a 100 offices for complaints in each district poses a
monumental logistical and human resource challenge for the Authority.

20
Various avant-garde concepts have been introduced in the amended law without necessary
elaboration. For instance, no parameters for the National Electricity Plan have been specified,
the functions/role of the Electricity Trader Licensee have not been provided and the statutory
provisions do not explicitly provide for treatment of consumer-end tariffs under the new law.
There are also various inconsistencies found in the law, for instance the introduction of uniform
tariffs (conflicts with provisions relating to competition) and savings under preceding law (conflict
between provisions of existing saved licences and statutory provisions). These concerns lay
significant challenges before the Authority in the exercise of its functions going forward.

1.12 ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Cognizant of its responsibilities towards protection of environment of the country, in view of
planned induction of large coal power plants, NEPRA organized a seminar about Energy,
Environment and Sustainable Development. The seminar was attended by representatives from
various organizations. The main aim and objectives of the said seminar were as follows:

(a) Awareness about environment among the stakeholders in Pakistan’s power

sector; especially after the expected changes in the current energy mix.
(b) Adequacy of existing laws on environment protection and the role of relevant bodies.
(c) NEPRA’s role.
(d) Way forward.

During the seminar, representatives of Provincial Environmental Protection Agencies (EPAs),

discussed about procedural aspects of their departments and showed keen commitment and
need for continuous monitoring of upcoming coal fired power plants.

NEPRA being the regulator of the power sector regularly interacts with relevant EPAs about
compliance of their relevant acts. Moreover, NEPRA also obtains compliance reports from the
project companies as required under generation licence.

1.13 COMPREHENSIVE REDUCTION AND ELIMINATION OF POLYCHLORINATED

BIPHENYLS (PCBs)
Another project to protect environment is in shape of NEPRA’s support to Ministry of Climate
Change (MOCC). The objective of MOCC project is to reduce risks for the human health and the
environment by avoiding the release of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in the environment
and preventing human exposure to these. POPs can be defined in a number of ways including the
following:

(a) Chemicals with high toxicity originated through anthropogenic activities.

(b) Organic chemicals containing carbon and hydrogen are characterized by adverse
effects on life.
(c) Bio-accumulation, persistence and long range transport pose a threat to humans
and the environment.
(d) POPs are widely used as pesticides and/or industrial chemicals.

The project has been arranged in four components:

(a) Development and Implementation of a Regulatory Policy and Enforcement System

to reduce POPs releases.
(b) Capacity building of local communities and public and private sector stakeholders
21
 to reduce exposure to and releases of POPs.
(c) Collection, Transport and Disposal of PCBs and POPs Pesticides.
(d) Monitoring and Evaluation.

NEPRA has been coordinating with the power sector entities and MOCC, essentially for identification
of PCBs, present in power equipment.

1.14 RATIONALIZATION OF GENERATION TARIFF PARAMETERS

As part of its regulatory process, NEPRA has reviewed various tariff components for necessary
changes needed therein. This aims to ensure that the power sector tariffs approved and awarded
are consistent and reflective of prevailing economic and financial circumstances that implicate
power generation tariffs approved by NEPRA.

After a comprehensive review and discussion with various stakeholders, the Authority has decided
to revise certain benchmarks and ceilings to be allowed for tariff components of generation
projects. In this respect, the Authority would like to seek input of all stakeholders on these
recommendations before these are finalized for application in tariffs. Following heads have been
identified for review by the Authority:

(a) Banking Spread

(b) Debt and Equity Ratios
(c) IDC and ROEDC
(d) Financing Fee
(e) Insurance
(f) Withholding Tax on dividends
(g) Availability

The Authority in principle continues to move towards promoting the competitive mode in
generation tariffs. However, for the specific projects to be considered under cost plus regime and
for certain parameters to be used in upfront tariffs, these benchmarks will be used accordingly.
1.15 REVIEW OF RATE OF RETURN
NEPRA has decided to review the returns offered in the power sector and prepared a concept
paper for determination of the rates of return for the power companies which provided a basis
for determining Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for various technologies, value chain of power sector
i.e. generation, transmission and distribution and tariff regimes (cost plus, upfront). The basic
objective is that the IRR now needs to be effectively reflective of specific risk and return matrix
and its adjustment for a particular technology. The document was uploaded on NEPRA website for
comments from the stakeholders.

1.16 INDUSTRY – ACADEMIA COLLABORATION

National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) is working closely with NEPRA on a research
proposal namely “Modeling and Simulation of Pakistan’s Electric Power Sector to develop a Road
Map for Transition from the Current Single Buyer Model to a Competitive Whole Sale Power
Market”.

22
1.17 CONCLUSIONS
1.17.1 It is concluded that with the current implementation and planned generation
additions, the country would have generation capacity surplus position for next five
to six years; ensuring sufficient margins for a reliable power supply.

1.17.2 The question of dependence on dirty imported fuels has been partly addressed, as
no new power plants have been planned on furnace oil and relatively clean fuel of
RLNG has been introduced. Similarly, Federal Government has also put a cap on
power generation plants using imported coal. However more than 12,000 MW RLNG/
Gas based power plants will be expected to use imported RLNG by the FY 2020-21,
therefore the power sector consumers will not get any reprieve from the international
price uncertainties.

1.17.3 The prices of solar and wind based technology have fallen over past three years, and
now their resulting tariffs are quite attractive in comparison with other technologies.
Induction of clean energy based projects however, could not take place due to
absence of clear policies of the Ministry of Energy (Power Division).

1.17.4 Similarly the induction of small hydropower plants could not take place due to different
procedural issues. Due to their robust nature, these plants have useful operating life
of more than fifty years. Therefore after the initial years of debt repayment, these
plants provide a very cheap energy without any dependence on fuel.

1.17.5 With the induction of new generation capacity in the system, it is imperative that
every MW of it is optimally used. Transmission and distribution infrastructure must
be capable of receiving all available electricity and delivering it to end-consumers.
NEPRA notes that networks in NTDC and in most of the DISCOs are not adequate to
transmit electricity under different system conditions.

1.17.6 With the addition of new generation facilities over a short span of time, the capacity
payments are bound to increase. In order to minimize the impact of increased capacity
component in the consumer-end tariff, multi-pronged strategies are needed to be
followed.

1.17.7 KEL continued to under-utilize its generation facilities, whereas it failed to add
sufficient transformation capacity in its network which resulted in an unreliable system
operation, frequent tripping of networks and prolonged load shed hours during the
FY 2016-17.

1.17.8 The role of provincial bodies has become more important in overcoming power
sector issues. The role of Provincial Government is critical in supporting transmission
and distribution licensees in implementation of infrastructural projects. On the
development of generation facilities however, NEPRA has observed that some of the
provincial agencies lack management and procedural capacity and necessary skills
for developing generation resources efficiently.

23
 1.17.9 NEPRA has introduced Net-Metering regime since 2016. 108 consumers for 2,346
kW have been noted to participate in it upto June, 2017. Consumers and other
stakeholders have been showing a lot of interest by proposing improvements in this
regime.

1.17.10 Federal Government has recently approved Amendment Act, 2018 which provides for
a complete shift in the existing regulatory regime. The distribution business has now
been bifurcated into separate wire and sale businesses. At the same time concepts
of “trader” and “supplier” have been introduced which in a way set the direction of
a future market model. It is felt that by including framework for a future market in
the Act, an inflexible approach has been adopted instead of conducting detailed
deliberation for recommending a solution.

1.18 RECOMMENDATIONS
1.18.1 For continued reliability in the system, long term plans would be required to be
developed taking into consideration clear policies and supply and demand position.

1.18.2 In order to reduce dependence on imported fuel, new explorations and induction of
indigenous gas should be encouraged.

1.18.3 Since solar and wind provide environmentally clean energy, without using fuel,
therefore the Ministry of Energy (Power Division) is urged to resolve policy level
ambiguities and technical issues for promotion of these technologies.

1.18.4 For long-term sustainability of the sector, small hydropower plants must be
encouraged.

1.18.5 Ministry of Energy (Power Division) being owner of NTDC and DISCOs, is required
to take extra ordinary steps for ensuring availability of strong transmission and
distribution infrastructure to provide a reliable electricity supply.

1.18.6 Increase energy sold by reduction in T&D losses in DISCOs. DISCOs’ management
must focus on specific high loss feeders and set clear targets for loss reduction.

1.18.7 DISCOs must adopt all measures, which help in tracking electricity flow from high
voltage grids to end-consumers. Automatic metering systems, remote metering
devices and centralized monitoring systems are to be installed immediately.

1.18.8 Recovery ratios in DISCOs need to be 100%. DISCOs having lower recovery ratios
must take immediate measures to close the gap.

1.18.9 For improved management, large DISCOs may be considered for bifurcation.

24
1.18.10 KEL must add efficient power generation plants in its system to reduce dependence
on external sources. Further, KEL needs to add power transformation capacity on
urgent basis for a reliable power supply to consumers.

1.18.11 The provincial bodies responsible for power development, need capacity building
and improved human resource skill level.

1.18.12 It is recommended to let Net-Metering regime continue so that burden on constrained

networks of DISCOs may be reduced.

1.18.13 In order to reduce capital costs of major equipment in generation, transmission and
distribution sectors, it is recommended to initiate and encourage local manufacturing.

1.18.14 After the approval of Amendment Act 2018, extensive consultations are required
among stakeholders for the success of a new regulatory regime.

2.3 HYDROPOWER
It may be noted that while the installed capacity of WAPDA Hydropower remained at 6,902
MW in the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, the 31,091 GWh generated in the FY 2016-17 shows a
decrease of 2,342 GWh from the last year. Similarly, the Hydel IPPs also contributed 133 GWh
less in the system during the FY 2016-17 with the same installed capacity as in the FY 2015-16.
The hydropower energy production pattern over the year remained consistent with the historical
trends. The availability and overall performance of major hydropower plants including Tarbela and
Mangla has also remained satisfactory during the FY 2016-17.

2.3.1 Power Purchase Agreements/Energy Purchase Agreements:

NEPRA has approved the PPAs of two large hydropower projects under Section 5 of “NEPRA Interim
Power Procurement (Procedure and Standards) Regulations, 2005”. Details of these projects are
given below:

S. No. Project Name Capacity (MW) Power Purchaser

1 Karot Hydropower Project 720 CPPA-G
2 Suki Kinari Hydropower Project 870 CPPA-G

2.3.2 Competitive Bidding of Hydropower Projects:

NEPRA has approved the Request for Proposal (RFP) of Taunsa Hydropower Project and six other
projects identified by PEDO under the Competitive Bidding Tariff (Approval Procedure) Regulations
(CBTR), 2014. Subsequently, the bidding under CBTR-2014 for Taunsa Hydropower Project was
successfully completed and the Authority has accordingly notified the lowest successful bidder.
This was the first power generation project whose tariff has been determined through Competitive
Bidding in Pakistan’s power sector.

2.3.3 Performance Monitoring of Hydropower Projects:

The monitoring of different hydropower projects was carried out in the year 2017 to check their
performance according to the terms and conditions set in Licence, PPA, Tariff Determination and
other relevant rules and regulations.

NEPRA has noted the unsatisfactory performance of Malakand-III (81 MW), Jinnah (96 MW) and
Khan Khwar (72 MW) Hydropower Plants. The sponsors and the power purchaser have been
directed to improve the operation and maintenance of these plants.

2.3.4 Implementations of Authority’s Directions:

The Authority noted that a number of holders of LOIs for hydropower project sites were
inordinately delaying the development of these sites. Accordingly, directions were issued to the
relevant agencies to cancel all those LOI/LOS of projects which have been inordinately delayed

30
by the sponsors. As a result, a number of LOIs and LOSs of hydropower sites were cancelled by
implementing agencies and the process for their speedy development was initiated. These include
the following large hydropower projects:

S. No. Project Name Capacity (MW)

1 Sehara Hydropower Project 130
2 Madian Hydropower Project 157
3 Asrit Kedam Hydropower Project 215
4 Chakothi Hattian Hydropower Project 500

Advisories were also issued to CPPA-G/Power Purchaser to expedite process of implementation of

small hydropower projects and signing of PPAs.

2.4 OVERVIEW OF PUBLIC SECTOR GENCOs

2.4.1 Jamshoro Power Company Limited (GENCO-I):

There has been no increase in the installed capacity of 1,024 MW GENCO-I Power Stations at
the end of June, 2017 over that of the year 2016. The energy generated by GENCO-I during the
FY 2016-17 was 3,593 GWh, while, it was 3,828 GWh in the FY 2015-16; a decrease of 235 GWh
or 6.14%, over last year. Net efficiency of GENCO-I during FY 2016-17 stood at 28.42% for TPS
Jamshoro and 27.05% for GTPS Kotri. With a capacity utilization of 58.04% for TPS Jamshoro
and 33.51% for GTPS Kotri due to forced outages and various maintenance issues, the overall
performance of GENCO-I has not been satisfactory.

NEPRA in its tariff determination in respect of TPS Jamshoro approved part load adjustments for
its power plants. GENCO-I approached NEPRA through CPPA-G (in its fuel price adjustments)
and claimed Rs. 1,090.688 million owing to part load operation of its units for ten months period
(July, 2015 to April, 2016). NEPRA, keeping in view the net electric output of the plant as provided
and verified by CPPA-G, fuel cost component and part load adjustment factors based on actual
loading of the units, approved Rs. 284.974 million.

2.4.2 Central Power Generation Company Limited (GENCO-II):

Total installed capacity of GENCO-II, up to 30th June, 2017 has been noted as 2,402 MW. No new
generation plant was inducted during the year under review for GENCO-II. The energy generated
by GENCO-II during the FY 2016-17 has been recorded at 8,079 GWh, while, it was 6,031 GWh
during the FY 2015-16. The energy generated by GENCO-II during the FY 2016-17, has increased
by 2,048 GWh or 33.97%, compared with that of the last year.

It is observed that various units of GENCO-II have remained off-bar for several years due to
maintenance issues, forced outages, fuel constraints and rehabilitation activities etc. and are not
being fully utilized. With reduced annual efficiency and reduced capacity utilization factor, the
overall performance of GENCO-II has been unsatisfactory.

2.4.3 Northern Power Generation Company Limited (GENCO-III):

Total installed capacity of GENCO-III, up to 30th June, 2017 has been noted as 2,293 MW. During the
FY 2016-17, the installed capacity of GENCO-III remained the same as compared with that of the
year 2015-16. The energy generated by GENCO-III during the FY 2016-17 was 6,861 GWh, while it

31
 was 6,273 GWh during the FY 2015-16 showing an increase of 588 GWh or 9.37%, compared with
the last year.

It is observed that the overall net efficiencies of TPS Muzaffargarh, SPS Faisalabad, GTPS Faisalabad
and Nandipur remained very low. Due to various maintenance issues, forced outages and fuel
constraints etc. considerably low annual capacity utilization of 48.21% for TPS Muzaffargarh,
14.52% for SPS Faisalabad, 12.27% for GTPS Faisalabad and 38.52% for Nandipur Power Plants
have been reported. The overall performance of GENCO-III has been unsatisfactory.

2.4.4 Lakhra Power Generation Company Limited (GENCO-IV):

Total installed capacity of GENCO-IV, up to 30th June, 2017 has been noted as 150 MW. GENCO-IV
had three units of 50 MW and during the FY 2016-17 generated 124 GWh as compared to 148
GWh produced during the FY 2015-16.

It may be noted that, against the installed capacity of 150 MW, approximately, two third capacity of
GENCO-IV is available for generation, which is also not being fully utilized due to forced outages
etc. With utilization factor of 22.68% for the FY 2016-17 the overall performance of GENCO-IV has
remained unsatisfactory.

2.5 INDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCERS (IPPs)

Total installed capacities of thermal IPPs connected with NTDC system at the end of June, 2017
are noted as 10,566 MW; 1,923 MW higher as compared to the FY 2015-16. The enhancement in
capacity has been recorded owing to induction of coal fired Sahiwal Power Plant and RLNG fired
Bhikki and Haveli Bahadur Shah Power Plant. The energy generated by thermal IPPs connected
with NTDC system during the year 2016-17 is noted as 47,972 GWh, against 45,146 GWh during
the year 2015-16.

It is also noted that due to disputes with NTDC/WAPDA, two IPPs namely Japan Power Generation
and Southern Electric Power Company are not contributing power to the grid and if these issues
are properly addressed, approximately 270 MW will be added to the close proximity of load centre,
to help reduce the demand and supply gap of the system.

2.6 NUCLEAR (CHASNUPP-I, II & III AND KANUPP)

During the year 2016-17, owing to addition of CHASNUPP-III, total installed and dependable
capacity of Nuclear Power Plants connected with NTDC’s system, are noted as 1,142 MW, higher
by 390 MW (340 MW has been actually added in the system, whereas 50 MW is added on account
of corrections made to previous year numbers which reflected net capacities, instead of name
plate capacities) than the year 2015-16. The energy generated by Nuclear Power Plants during the
year 2016-17 stands at 6,278 GWh which is an increase by 2,062 GWh over the energy during the
year 2015-16. The overall performance of Nuclear Power Plants connected with NTDC’s system
has remained satisfactory during the year 2016-17 as no major outage is noted.
2.7 RENEWABLES

2.7.1 Wind:
During the FY 2016-17, 479 MW of wind power has been added to the NTDC’s system, for a total
wind based power of about 785 MW in the system. The energy generated by wind based power

32
plants during the FY 2016-17 has been noted as 1,387 GWh.

2.7.2 Solar:
During the FY 2016-17, no new solar energy project has been added to NTDC’s network. The total
energy through solar has been recorded at 635 GWh for an increase of 410 GWh over the energy
generated through solar during the FY 2015-16.

2.7.3 Bagasse:
During the FY 2016-17, there is an increase of about 15 MW in the installed generation capacity
of bagasse based power plants for a total of about 161 MW in the NTDC’s system. The energy
generated by bagasse based power plants during the FY 2016-17 has been noted as 785 GWh.

2.7.4 Bagasse/Coal:
During the FY 2016-17, a bagasse/coal fired project namely Fatima Energy Limited started its
operations having capacity of 119 MW. The project generated 143 GWh during the FY 2016-17.

2.8 K-ELECTRIC LIMITED

The installed capacity of KEL’s own generation fleet at 30th June, 2017 has been noted as 1,874
MW, same as at 30th June, 2016. Since KEL is responsible for maintaining integrated systems of
generation, transmission and distribution, therefore KEL is required to look for other sources to
meet the supply and demand gap. Inability of KEL to effectively increase its generation capacity
has made it dependent on external power sources, including the import from NTDC system.
During the FY 2016-17, in addition to purchasing power from IPPs including PASMIC, Anoud
Power, International Steel Limited, Tapal Energy, Gul Ahmed, KANUPP, International Industries
Limited and FPCL Power, KEL also imported around 650 MW of power from NTDC on regular basis.

KEL generated 10,147 GWh during the FY 2016-17 which shows a decrease of 176 GWh from
the last year. Owing to reduction in own generation, KEL imported 17,352 GWh which shows an
increase of 48 GWh from the last year. It is noted while reviewing operational trend of KEL’s own
power plants that KEL consumed more furnace oil and less gas for electricity production during
the FY 2016-17 as compared to last year. With higher auxiliary consumption and reduced capacity
utilization factor over the last year, the overall performance of KEL own power plants cannot be
termed as satisfactory.

KEL also provided its investment plan for the period from the FY 2016-17 till the FY 2020-21 for
new capacity additions along with estimated cost and expected commissioning years as reported
in the next sections.

2.9 ELECTRICITY PURCHASES FROM SPPs/CPPs/N-CPPs

During the FY 2016-17, the surplus installed capacity available with Sugar Mills, Textile Mills and
Chemical units etc. was utilized by different DISCOs through bilateral contracts. The detail is shown

2.11 PERFORMANCE OF GENERATION FACILITIES

A generally known and widely used factor for performance in power sector is the “Availability
Factor”. The availability factor of a power plant is the amount of time, during which, the plant is
able to produce electricity over a certain period, divided by the amount of time in that period. The
availability of a power plant varies greatly, depending upon the type of fuel, the design of the plant
and how the plant is operated.

35
 2.11.1 Availability of GENCOs’ Power Plants:

2.11.1.1 Unit-wise Availability Factors:

Unit-wise Availability Factors (AFs) of GENCOs’ power plants during the period under review are
shown in the following tables:

TPS Jamshoro TPS Guddu

Unit Availability Factor (%) Unit Availability Factor (%)
Unit-1 81.48 Block-IV (Unit 1-2) -
Unit-2 65.04 Block-III (Unit 3-4) 86.16

The AFs of Jamshoro Power Plant in the FY 2016-17 remained satisfactory. On unit basis, of the
four units, except for unit 2, the AFs of the other units remained above 80%. It may be noted
that Jamshoro Power Plant also achieved better AFs than guaranteed under its PPA during the
FY 2014-15 and the FY 2015-16. The AFs for Guddu Power Plant have also improved in the FY
2016-17 than those in the previous years. Similarly Muzaffargarh Power Station performed better
in terms of AFs than the previous years. Nandipur and Lakhra Power Plants however, have shown
poor performance on this indicator similar to their performance during the FY 2015-16 as noted
in the following paragraphs:

2.11.1.2 Plant-wise Availability Factors (%):

On an overall plant basis a comparison of AFs Name of Power Station 2015-16 2016-17
for FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17 is shown in the TPS Jamshoro 73 82
following table: GTPS Kotri 90 94

GTPS Faisalabad 81 96
SPS Faisalabad 66 48
CCPP Nandipur 71 55
Lakhra FBC 25 24

36
It is pertinent to mention here that although, the AFs of GTPS Kotri, GTPS Faisalabad and SPS
Faisalabad seem within the acceptable range, but most of the time, these power stations remained
on standby mode due to which their potential was not utilized.

2.11.2 Performance of Generation Facilities under NEPRA Performance Standards

(Generation) Rules, 2009:
NEPRA Performance Standards (Generation) Rules 2009, specify a number of Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs) which relate plant operational parameters to gauge performance of generation
licensees, who are required under the rules to submit their performance reports to NEPRA. Of
these, the major ones are defined hereunder:

The first such parameter is Net Capacity Factor (NCF) which works out the actual energy produced
by a unit/machine during a particular period compared to its full potential for power generation
during that period. Net Output Factor (NOF) is the second indicator which measures the actual
energy over the time when the units/machines were actually synchronized with the system. Energy
Availability Factor (EAF) calculates the amount of time in which a unit/machine practically
remained available less any equivalent planned/unplanned de-rated hours, for generation of
power at full net capacity. Another parameter which is commonly used in NTDC system is the
“Standby Mode”, which is the period when machine is available for generation but not actively
utilized either due to fuel constraints or less demand, on the instruction of System Operator or
otherwise. It is to be noted that a collective analysis of these KPI would help in deciding about the
performance of power plants.

The following sections provide data about these KPIs for power plants controlled by GENCOs:

37
 2.11.2.1 Net Capacity Factor (NCF) (%):
On an average, the NCF for TPS Guddu, Name of Power Station 2015-16 2016-17
GTPS Faisalabad, SPS Faisalabad and Lakhra TPS Jamshoro 57 57
Power Station remained quite low during GTPS Kotri 61 37
the FY 2015-16 and also in FY 2016-17, TPS Guddu (1-13) 11 28
implying that most of the time, these power TPS Guddu (14-16) 53 67
stations remained either on standby mode TPS Muzaffargarh 48 53
or on planned/unplanned outage during the GTPS Faisalabad 15 11
SPS Faisalabad 11 15
subject period.
CCPP Nandipur 34 40
Lakhra FBC 16 16

2.11.2.2 Net Output Factor (NOF) (%):

On an average, the NOF for TPS Guddu Name of Power Station 2015-16 2016-17
remained very low i.e. only 36% during the TPS Jamshoro 82 80
FY 2015-16. The reason of this is the non- GTPS Kotri 85 83
contribution of energy by Unit 2, 4, 9 and 13, TPS Guddu (1-13) 36 75
having a combined net capacity of 460 MW, TPS Guddu (14-16) 81 78
as these units remained on unplanned outage TPS Muzaffargarh 74 76
during the entire FY 2015-16. During FY 2016- GTPS Faisalabad 90 82

 2.11.3 Performance of Independent Power Producers:
Like public sector GENCOs, IPPs also submit quarterly reports in respect of performance of their
plants. The performance analysis of following ten (10) IPPs is shown in the following sections for
FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17:

i) Kot Addu Power Company Limited
iii) Hub Power Company Limited (Narowal)
v) Pak Gen Power (Pvt.) Limited
vii) Rousch (Pakistan) Power Limited
ix) Uch Power Limited
ii) Hub Power Company Limited
iv) Lal Pir Power (Pvt.) Limited

viii) TNB Liberty Power Limited
x) Uch-II Power Limited

Kot Addu Power Company Limited (KAPCO)

(05 Modules – 2*315+2*290+1*390=1,600)

It may be seen that all the KPIs in respect of Kot Addu Power Company Limited have either
remained at acceptable levels or have shown improvement in the FY 2016-17 over the last year.

40
 Hub Power Company Limited (HUBCO)

3.4 CONSTRAINTS IN NTDC SYSTEM
During the reporting period, the progress reports of ongoing power evacuation projects and
development projects, submitted by NTDC, have been reviewed and it is noted that NTDC could
not complete a number of projects as per their scheduled dates, therefore completion dates of
said projects were extended. Failure to complete projects, results not only in cost over-runs but
also forces uneconomic power dispersal. For instance NTDC failed to construct interconnection
facilities for 404 MW Uch-II Power Plant and 747 MW Guddu Power Plant, which could not be
operated at available capacity. In response to explanations called by the Authority, NTDC admitted
about delays in its planned projects. NTDC also reported the following constraints which hindered
progress on certain projects:

3.4.1 Current Status of Interconnection Arrangements:

The power evacuation curtailment and current status of interconnection arrangements are given
below:

3.4.1.1 Uch-II Power Plant:

The plant was commissioned on 04-04-2014. The existing interconnection arrangement is capable
for 100% power evacuation; however N-1 contingency condition will be fulfilled upon completion
of 220 kV Uch-Sibbi transmission line project. Therefore in case of any fault on the nearby system
components, the power from one of the most efficient power plants would not be dispatched
optimally.

3.4.1.2 FWEL-I and II in Gharo Cluster:

The FWEL-I and II plants were commissioned on 11-04-2015 and 10-12-2014 respectively. Power
evacuation from these projects has to be curtailed due to overloading and insufficient capacity of
132 kV HESCO connected network.

3.4.1.3 FFCEL in Jhimpir Cluster:

The plant was commissioned on 16-05-2013. The power was required to be curtailed because of
overloading and insufficient capacity of 132 kV, HESCO network. However, with the commissioning
of 220 kV Jhimpir grid station and 220 kV Jhimpir-TM Khan transmission line, on 25-08-2017, the
issue has been resolved.

3.4.2 Project-wise Cost Over-run:

Delays in completion of transmission projects not only affect the operational performance of the
system, these may also lead to cost over runs which are then required to be passed on to the
consumers. Details of cost incurred on some of the projects which required extension of time over
their scheduled completion dates are presented in the following table. It may be noted that NTDC
paid approximately Rs. 5 billion on account of cost over-runs for some of these projects. It may also
be noted that certain projects specifically in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are bound to be delayed in view
of their physical progress and the scheduled completion dates. Naturally their delayed completion
would not support the Federal Government objectives to provide adequate supply of electricity
and increased energy sold which is critical to bring overall tariff lower for end-consumers.

respectively.

[2]
500 kV RYK G/S is almost complete but the G/S will be commissioned upon completion of 500 kV T/L in/
out arrangement. The delay occurred due to law and order situation in the area and non-performance by
T/L Contractor M/s GAM-ARAK, Iran due to which the initial contract for construction of 500 kV T/L was
terminated on 09-03-2015 and, after re-bidding, the work was awarded on 06-05-2016. Now, the line activities
are as per schedule.
[3]
For phase-II of the Port Qasim T/L project, the contractors have mobilized at site since August, 2017.
[4]
The 220 kV GIS Gharo project is under discussion with KfW for the financing of project.
[5]
The Lot-I of 500 kV Guddu-Muzzafargarh T/L was awarded on 26-12-2016, whereas Lots-II and III are under re-
bidding and Lot-IV is under negotiation and will be awarded during this week. The material for whole project
has been procured and is in hand. The existing interconnection arrangement is capable for 100% power
evacuation, however the above T/L is required to fulfill the N-I contingency condition.

3.4.3 Commitment Charges:

In addition to implementation cost over-runs due to delays and extension in time, soft cost also
balloon up in shape of commitment charges to be paid to lenders. NTDC was required to pay
around Rs. 5 billion as additional commitment charges on the following projects. Therefore the
benefits of otherwise soft loans are wasted due to lack of management skills and poor governance.
Commitment charges paid by NTDC on foreign loans during last three years are shown hereunder:

The following table provides a comparison of transmission outages for the FY 2015-16 and the FY
2016-17 as reported by NTDC. It is noted that number of planned outages and total duration of
planned outages in the FY 2016-17 have increased as compared to the FY 2015-16 data whereas
number of forced outages has also increased during reported period while total duration of forced
outages in the FY 2016-17 has decreased as compared to the FY 2015-16 data. It is however a
matter of concern that the frequency of outages could not be controlled by NTDC in spite of
NEPRA directions to follow prudent utility practices for operation and maintenance of its facilities.

3.10 K-ELECTRIC LIMITED TRANSMISSION OUTAGE STATISTICS

The following table provides a comparison of transmission outages for the FY 2015-16 and the
FY 2016-17 as reported by KEL. It is noted that at 132 kV level, number of outages and total
duration of outages in the FY 2016-17 have increased as compared to the FY 2015-16 data. Being a
private sector entity KEL’s performance is not satisfactory. NEPRA has already conducted separate
investigations on related matters and initiated proceedings against KEL:

PERFORMANCE OF
DISTRIBUTION SECTOR

PERFORMANCE OF DISTRIBUTION SECTOR

4.1 GENERAL
The un-bundling of WAPDA through power sector reforms resulted in creation of ten (10) DISCOs
owned by the Federal Government. Currently assets of 132 kV Transmission Networks and 11 kV
and below Distribution Networks are allocated to DISCOs, which include 25,068 km of 132 kV
Transmission Lines, 760 (seven hundred sixty) 132 kV Grid Stations which consist of 1,828 Power
Transformers having transformation capacity of 45,324 MVA, 8,454 11 kV Feeders, 323,961 km of
11 kV Lines, 681,805 Distribution Transformers having transformation capacity of 43,295 MVA and
232,042 km of LT Lines.

In addition to above, KEL is a vertically integrated company also having a distribution licence
granted by NEPRA. KEL is responsible for 338 km of 220 kV Transmission Lines, 8 (eight) 220 kV
Grid Stations with transformation capacity of 3,080 MVA, 766 km of 132 kV Transmission Lines,
63 (sixty three) 132 kV Grid Stations having transformation capacity of 5,648 MVA, 1,653 11 kV
Feeders, 9,363 Km of 11 kV Lines, 25,667 Distribution Transformers having 7,230 MVA and 19,962
km of LT Lines.

4.2 CIRCULAR DEBT

Circular debt is a major issue confronting power sector. One of the contributors of circular debt is
the high transmission and distribution losses in DISCOs viz-a-viz the Authority’s allowed targets.
Here it is pertinent to mention that notified average T&D losses target for the FY 2016-17 was
15.27%, at national level excluding KEL, whereas DISCOs reported actual T&D losses for the same
period remained around 17.9%. This gap of around 2.6% between the actual T&D losses and the
Authority’s allowed level of T&D losses has resulted in an annual gap of over Rs. 31 billion during
the FY 2016-17 (including the impact of monthly FCA).

Adding further to circular debt, is the low recovery ratio of DISCOs. The Authority maintains a
recovery target of 100% while setting the consumer-end tariff for DISCOs, however, the actual
reported recovery ratio of DISCOs, for the FY 2016-17 remained at around 92%. The impact of
lesser recoveries viz-a-viz the billed amount including (SOP, Excise Duty, Income Tax, GST, FAS,
Additional Surcharge, LPS etc.), has resulted in an annual shortfall of around Rs. 81 billion.

4.3 T&D LOSSES

4.3.1 Transmission and Distribution Losses Overall Perspective:

The T&D losses of DISCOs are among the most discussed and debated issues in the context of
power sector. The Regulator has also been advising and directing the DISCOs for taking operational
and managerial steps to control their losses and bring those closer to prudent levels. NEPRA has
also allowed huge investment funds every year to DISCOs, so that new and critical projects are
initiated and completed on time. Since all DISCOs are owned and controlled by the Ministry of
Energy (Power Division), therefore, the Regulator has always been pointing out this critical issue
to relevant quarters at all fora. It is however observed, that DISCOs’ performance in this area
remained unsatisfactory throughout as may be seen from the following chart from the FY 2012-13
to the FY 2016-17. Except for one or two companies, the others have remained oblivious to gravity
of the matter.

75
 4.3.2 T&D Losses (Actual) of DISCOs for FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17:
The following table gives actual T&D losses of DISCOs for the FY 2016-17 and a comparison
between the actual T&D losses for two years i.e. the FY 2015-16 and the FY 2016-17:

Overall Average 99,390.76 81,551.30 17,839.46 17.95 17.95 0.00
Source: PEPCO

It may be noted that as a whole, DISCOs did not show any improvement in transmission and
distribution losses, as overall losses have been recorded as 17.95% for both the years. The losses
in HESCO increased by 4.29% in the FY 2016-17 over those of the FY 2015-16. SEPCO also showed
slight increase in its losses. Losses of MEPCO also increased by 0.46%, however it is a matter of
concern that one of better DISCOs i.e. FESCO could not reduce or even maintain its losses at the
FY 2015-16 level of 10.24%, as its losses in the FY 2016-17 increased to 10.57%. As discussed
earlier DISCOs need to improve their operational performance to take advantage of the improved
electricity supply availability, otherwise financial position of the power sector and the overall
economy will have a huge negative impact.

4.3.3 T&D Losses Requested by DISCOs and Allowed by NEPRA (2015-16):

The following transmission and distribution losses were requested by DISCOs for the FY 2015-16.
NEPRA after analyzing DISCOs’ requests, allowed T&D losses (%) as shown in the following table.
Subsequently, DISCOs requested NEPRA to re-determine their T&D losses based on additional
information like the loss studies conducted by Third Party Consultants.

4.3.4 Re-Determination of T&D Loss Targets:

4.3.4.1 Annual Tariff Regime:

In view of DISCOs’ requests and reconsideration request filed by the Ministry of Energy (Power
Division), a re-determination of T&D losses of DISCOs pertaining to the FY 2015-16 was done in
the reported period of the FY 2016-17. It is pointed out that NEPRA from the FY 2011-12 to the
FY 2014-15 directed DISCOs to carry out technical loss studies through independent consultants
in respect of their transmission and distribution systems which included their 132 kV network. The
following table provides the results of T&D losses reported by DISCOs, on the basis of transmission
and distribution network loss studies conducted by Third Party Consultants:

DISCO Transmission Losses as per Study (%) Distribution Losses as per Study (%)
PESCO 3.64 17.31
TESCO Not Submitted Yet
IESCO 1.71 6.94
GEPCO 2.06 8.52
LESCO 2.10 9.66
FESCO 2.55 8.39
MEPCO 3.50 11.30
HESCO 3.42 15.04
SEPCO 4.53 14.80
QESCO 7.90 13.36
Average 3.09 11.21
Source: NEPRA

Based on review of the loss studies, the following parameters have been established by NEPRA for
setting the loss targets of DISCOs pertaining to the FY 2015-16:

(a) IESCO’s transmission network losses on the basis of third party study work out to be 1.71%
which have been provisionally allowed as such.

(b) LESCO submitted its transmission loss study conducted by Third Party Consultant in
2012 and mentioned its transmission losses as 2.10%. The Authority, while accepting the
transmission loss study, set a target of 2.10% transmission loss for LESCO.

(c) FESCO submitted its transmission loss study carried out in 2016. FESCO claimed a total
of 10.94% T&D losses comprising transmission losses of 2.55% and distribution loss of
8.39%. The Authority, while considering the T&D losses of FESCO, noted that the actual
T&D losses of FESCO during the FY 2015-16 were recorded as 10.24% for which FESCO did
not provide any breakup. Keeping in view the aforementioned, the Authority decided to
set an overall target of 10.24% T&D losses on actual basis for FESCO for the FY 2015-16.
Accordingly a target of 1.85% transmission losses has been set for FESCO.

(d) GEPCO mentioned 2.06% transmission losses on the basis of third party transmission loss
study but in its reconsideration request it claimed 1.51% transmission losses on actual
77
 basis. The Authority notes that the requested transmission losses of 1.51% on actual
basis are lower than the results of third party study therefore the Authority allows 1.51%
transmission losses for GEPCO.

(e) MEPCO, HESCO and SEPCO claimed transmission losses of 3.50%, 3.42% and 4.53%
respectively in their reconsideration requests. The Authority while reviewing the requested
transmission losses noted that MEPCO, HESCO and SEPCO did not submit their third party
transmission loss studies. The Authority, in the absence of third party transmission loss
studies, maintained its earlier assessment of transmission losses and allowed 3.13% for
MEPCO, 2.05% for HESCO and 1.95% for SEPCO.

(f) PESCO submitted its transmission loss study in 2016 and requested 3.64% transmission
losses. The Authority accepted the results of the said study and allowed the same margin
of 3.64% transmission losses to PESCO on provisional basis.

(g) For QESCO and TESCO, not being part of reconsideration request by Government of
Pakistan, the Authority allowed its already assessed transmission losses of 4.00% and
1.03% respectively.

(h) It was noted that all DISCOs except MEPCO, have finalized their third party studies during
the FY 2015-16, and analyzed more than 85% of their HT feeders. It was noted that MEPCO
had carried out technical loss studies in 2012, however the Authority did not accept the
report due to quality issues. The Authority therefore set loss targets for MEPCO based on
its own assessment of MEPCO system. For the present reconsideration request, since no
new study was carried out by MEPCO, therefore the Authority’s set loss target has been
maintained.

(i) It is noted that the third party studies in respect of transmission (132 kV) networks have
been carried out by IESCO, FESCO and PESCO during the FY 2015-16, whereas LESCO
and GEPCO studies were completed in 2012 (on relatively old data). MEPCO, HESCO and
SEPCO have not finalized their transmission loss studies yet. Following a consistent policy
as for distribution loss studies, all the studies by DISCOs for their transmission networks
have been accepted on provisional basis.

(j) It is also observed that some of the DISCOs have achieved lower actual losses than
calculated through the third party studies. For such a scenario the actual losses have been
considered by NEPRA, instead of their losses through studies.

Based on the forgoing, the Authority allowed the following provisional T&D loss targets for DISCOs
for the FY 2015-16:

4.3.4.2 Multi-Year Tariff Regime:

NEPRA, in the FY 2015-16, determined a multi-year tariff for IESCO, LESCO and FESCO for five
years and set out certain targets for their T&D losses. In view of the above mentioned revised
targets of T&D losses for the FY 2015-16, the following future targets for IESCO, LESCO and FESCO
under multi-year tariff regime have been revised:

(a) Islamabad Electric Supply Company Limited (IESCO):

The Authority in its multi-year tariff determination for FY 2015-16 to FY 2019-20 of IESCO, set
the starting point of T&D losses at 9.39% for FY 2015-16 as requested by the petitioner and
accordingly determined a reduction of 1.64% in 5 years control period. As discussed earlier, the
Authority allowed 1.71% transmission losses and 6.94% distribution losses on provisional basis for
IESCO for FY 2015-16 against its earlier assessment of 9.39% for IESCO for the same year.

The Authority felt that with the revision of starting point of T&D Losses for IESCO at 8.65%, the
future T&D loss targets also need to be adjusted accordingly. This adjustment is required to be
done as per following table:

(b) Lahore Electric Supply Company Limited (LESCO):

The Authority in its MYT determination allowed 11.75% losses for LESCO for the FY 2015-16 as
starting point. In the instant reconsideration request, the Authority decided to set 11.76% loss
target for the FY 2015-16. Since there is hardly any difference of the starting loss target therefore
the following table shows the yearly loss targets over the multi-year tariff control period:

(c) Faisalabad Electric Supply Company Limited (FESCO):

The Authority determined 9.50% losses as starting point for FESCO in its multi-year tariff
determination and assessed a reduction of 1.40% over 5 years control period. The Authority noted
that FESCO’s actual losses were 10.24% for the FY 2015-16; less than the results of the third party
loss studies i.e. 10.94%. The following table shows the yearly reductions in T&D losses of FESCO:

4.4 RECOVERY POSITION OF DISCOs

The following table shows a comparison of recovery ratios for all the DISCOs for the two years.
It may be seen that apart from HESCO, PESCO and IESCO who improved upon their recovery
position, none of the other DISCOs was able to improve its position over the previous year. LESCO
managed to stay at the same level of good recovery ratio in the FY 2016-17, whereas FESCO,
MEPCO and GEPCO could not match their performance of the last year as their recovery dropped
by approximately 3% during the FY 2016-17. QESCO’s recovery position deteriorated drastically
during the FY 2016-17 as only 43.55% of the amount billed was recovered. SEPCO though showed
more than 100% recovery but in fact it is due to certain adjustment made with the Government of
Sindh which has inflated the true recovery for the year.

4.4.1 Recovery Position of Main Categories of Consumers (%):

To narrow down the areas of interest, following charts show performance of all the DISCOs in
the four major categories of consumers. It may be noted that IESCO was able to maintain quite
a consistent and satisfactory recovery ratios for all the consumer categories. GEPCO managed
satisfactory ratios for domestic and commercial consumers however for industrial and agricultural
consumers, it needs to improve its recovery to come closer to IESCO. LESCO needs to focus more on
agricultural consumers for improving its recovery position for this category. FESCO also achieved
quite satisfactory recovery ratios except for industrial consumers for which recovery position can
be improved through better managerial efforts. Similarly, MEPCO also needs to address recovery
issues with the industrial sector to improve its position. PESCO has shown an overall improvement
in this area however its recovery in domestic category is close to 84% which requires sustained
efforts by the company management to target above 90% recovery in this category. It is observed
that HESCO and SEPCO require hectic efforts to improve their recovery position in domestic
sector. QESCO’s inferior performance is mainly due to poor recovery position of agricultural and
domestic consumers.

4.5 RECEIVABLES OF DISCOs

The overall receivables of all the DISCOs have increased by Rs. 45.82 billion which are considerably
less than the receivables of Rs. 50.94 billion during the FY 2015-16. As on 30th June 2017, the
overall distribution sector receivables stood at Rs. 729.88 billion whereas, the receivables at the

81
 start of this financial year were Rs. 684.06 billion. Following is a detailed break-up of receivables

During the reporting year, receivables for the Federal Government have increased by Rs. 0.88
billion as compared to previous financial year. A drastic decrease is noted in the receivables against
GoS i.e. Rs. 73.44 billion in the FY 2015-16 to Rs. 1.35 billion in the FY 2016-17. It is noted that
certain portion of receivables against GoS for the period from the year 2010 to the year 2016 were
waived off by the Board of Directors, following a meeting with officials of GoS. The receivables of
Provincial Governments of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan have increased in this financial
year whereas the receivables for Provincial Government of Punjab have slightly decreased. In
addition, FATA receivables from domestic consumers have increased from Rs. 20.60 billion in the
FY 2015-16 to Rs. 22.18 billion in the FY 2016-17. The receivables for KEL in the FY 2016-17 have
increased by Rs. 13.83 billion, whereas, during the FY 2015-16 the receivables increased by Rs. 2.27
billion.
4.6 OVERLOADING IN DISCOs SYSTEM
Power delivery through DISCOs’ networks mainly depends on the adequacy of three major
components including power transformers (mostly 132/11 kV transformers), 11 kV feeders and

82
finally the distribution transformers. The following tables provide a comparison of overloaded
components in all DISCOs for the FY 2015-16 and the FY 2016-17.

4.6.1 Loading Position of Power Transformers:

On an overall country basis overloading on power transformers has slightly reduced in the FY 2016-
17 from that of the FY 2015-16 but it is still very high as 36.82% of the total power transformers
in the DISCOs are overloaded pointing to potential problems. On DISCO to DISCO comparison,
FESCO and QESCO have more than their 50% power transformers overloaded above 80%, followed
by HESCO, PESCO and SEPCO having more than 40% of their transformers overloaded.

4.6.2 Loading Position of 11 kV Feeders:

Country-wise overloading on 11 kV feeders has slightly increased, as 29.00% of the total feeders
are loaded above 80% compared to 28.14% last year. On DISCO level, PESCO and TESCO have the
highest percentage (more than 50%) of overloaded feeders, followed by QESCO, SEPCO, MEPCO
and LESCO (more than 30%).

From above it is noted that although PESCO, SEPCO, TESCO and QESCO have generally been
accepted as those DISCOs, which have consistently shown poor performance levels, what is more
worrying however, is that according to the above statistics, the so called better performers like
LESCO and MEPCO have a poor record for 11 kV overloaded feeders. LESCO has the worst record
of overloading of distribution transformers. Similarly FESCO has very serious issues to tackle with
the overloading of its power transformers. Considering the share of these DISCOs in the overall
energy consumption, further delays in overcoming these issues will be disastrous for the power
sector.

4.6.4 Province-wise Loading Positions:

Province-wise statistics of overloading position (above 80%) for June, 2017 is shown in the

4.9 LOADING POSITION OF POWER TRANSFORMERS, 11 KV FEEDERS AND DISTRIBUTION

TRANSFORMERS IN K-ELECTRIC LIMITED SYSTEM
The following table provides overloading positions of overloaded components in KEL for the FY
2015-16 and the FY 2016-17:

Description 2015-16 2016-17

Total No. of Over-Loaded Power Transformers (above 80%) 31 59

Total No. of Over-Loaded Distribution Transformers (above 80%) 648 551
Percentage of Total Over-Loaded Distribution Transformers (above 80%) 2.78 2.15
Source: KEL

It is noted that more than 40% power transformers of KEL are overloaded in the FY 2016-17,
whereas in the FY 2015-16 approximately 22% transformers were noted to be operating above 80%
of their rated capacity. It may be concluded that KEL has not added enough power transformers in
its network to maintain at least the same ratio of overloaded transformers as of last year, whereas
it was required to a system capable of providing a reliable supply at all times for consumers. KEL’s
failure to add adequate number of power transformers was among the major reasons for frequent
tripping and prolonged load shed hours during the FY 2016-17.

85
 4.10 RECOVERY POSITION OF K-ELECTRIC LIMITED
KEL’s position is also not satisfactory although
its’ recovery position has slightly improved
than the last year. It is noted that the domestic
consumers have a 51% share in total energy
billed by KEL however; it could recover only
82% of the amount corresponding to that
energy. Unless KEL takes effective measures
in this category, it would be quite difficult
to improve the overall financial health of the
company. Being a private sector entity, NEPRA
requires that innovative measures be taken by
KEL to show its commitment for meeting the
overall objectives of a prudent utility.

MONITORING OF THE SECTOR

5.1 GENERAL
In the following sections, details about monitoring and enforcement by NEPRA of its licensees and
their compliance with the relevant rules and regulations, terms and conditions of the licence and
other applicable documents are presented. Key findings include the following:

(a) Generation data of power plants (Hydel, Thermal and IPPs etc.) provided by (NPCC and KEL
was analyzed on daily basis and daily reports were prepared about Demand and Supply
position of NTDC and KEL Systems. Furthermore, instructions/letters were also issued to
the management of various power plants, for remedial measures and compliance with the
directions of the Authority contained in the Generation licences of GENCOs, IPPs, WAPDA
Hydel and KEL was ensured. In this respect various formats were developed for converting
the data received from different formations for effective review and analysis.

(b) Based on the performance analysis of public sector power plants and keeping in view the
new generation capacity addition by the year 2018, CEO of GENCO Holding Company
Limited (GHCL) was directed to prepare a detailed plan of phasing out old/un-economical
and un-serviceable generating units, which have completed their useful lives. Further
actions are being considered by NEPRA under its relevant rules and regulations.

(c) The analysis of energy produced through public sector GENCOs and evacuation of power
showed underutilization of power plants. Concerns of the Authority in this respect were
conveyed through various letters and directions to NTDC/NPCC about less generation
and under-utilization of various power plants as well as delayed developmental works by
NTDC. NTDC was directed for submission of detailed reports regarding under-utilization of
various power plants and steps taken by it to mitigate the irritants causing non-operation
of plants at maximum capacity.

(d) Explanations were issued to public sector GENCOs about their excessive auxiliary power
consumption and underutilization/reduction in net capacity of their generation facilities,
poor maintenance of generation plants and equipment thereby violating the provisions of
the Act and applicable documents etc.

(e) NEPRA also issued Explanation under NEPRA (Fines) Rules, 2002 to NTDC for non-
implementation of Authority’s directives regarding optimal generation dispatch as well as
maximum capacity utilization of efficient power generation plants.

(f) Various advisories were also sent to Ministry of Energy (Power Division), to ensure operation
of economically higher ranked generation power plants at their maximum capacities
and allocation of gas to power plants according to Economic Merit Order for effective
utilization of the available generating sources. The Ministry of Energy (Power Division) was
also advised to get the developmental works completed on war-footing basis for removal
of power dispersal issues and to avoid ongoing financial loss to the national exchequer
due to underutilization of such power generation facilities.

(g) Continuous monitoring and communication resulted in better sense of responsibility on

the part of Generating Companies. The replies submitted by NTDC/GENCOs in response to
NEPRA letters of explanation are being analyzed for further proceedings.

 5.2 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION REPORTS OF GENCOs (2012, 2013 AND 2014)
During the reporting period, the data submitted by all public sector GENCOs (GENCO-I, II, III and
IV) for the years 2012, 2013 and 2014 was reviewed and a comprehensive Performance Evaluation
Report (PER) was prepared. The report highlights the energy loss contributed by the units/
machines of GENCOs’ power stations. NEPRA completed its proceedings on performance reports
of GENCOs during the reporting period and noted following observations:

5.2.1 Auxiliary Consumption:

It was noted that GENCO-I, II and III consumed excess power as auxiliary consumption than the
allowed limit for total energy loss for three years of around 777 million kWh during service mode,
which translates to a financial loss of about Rs. 11.69 billion to the national exchequer.

5.2.2 Standby Mode:

It was observed that certain gas based power stations such as GTPS Kotri, GTPS Faisalabad and
SPS Faisalabad remained on standby mode for most part, during the years 2012, 2013 and 2014,
thereby squandering the potential to generate significant amount of economically efficient
energy. On top of that, the units/machines of GENCO-I, II and III have drawn around 763 million
kWh energy during standby mode under the head of auxiliary power consumption, resulting in
financial loss of around Rs. 6.04 billion to the national exchequer.

In view of above, legal proceedings were initiated against GENCO-I, II and III and Explanations
were issued on 22-03-2017. In response, all three GENCOs submitted their replies, which were
rejected by the Authority and accordingly, Show Cause Notices were issued.

Moreover, advisory was issued to the Secretary, Ministry of Energy (Power Division) highlighting
the performance of GENCOs during the period from 2012 to 2014.

5.3 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION REPORT OF GENCOs (FY 2014-15 AND FY 2015-16)

The data submitted by public sector GENCOs for the FY 2014-15 and the FY 2015-16 was also
reviewed and a comprehensive PER has been prepared. The report highlights the following main
features:

5.3.1 Auxiliary Consumption:

During the FY 2014-15 and the FY 2015-16, all GENCOs consumed excess auxiliary power over the
allowed limit with an energy loss of around 668 million kWh during service mode, which translates
to a cumulative financial loss of around Rs. 7.49 billion to the national exchequer.

 5.5 MONITORING OF TRANSMISSION SECTOR

5.5.1 NEPRA Performance Standards (Transmission) Rules (PSTR), 2005:

5.5.1.1 Performance of NTDC for the FY 2015-16:

The results of analysis of the APRs for the FY 2014-15 and the FY 2015-16 have already been
included in State of Industry 2016. During the reporting period, NTDC filed a review before the
Authority to waive off the fine of Rs. 5 million, which was imposed on NTDC due to non-compliance
of PSTR based on the data submitted by NTDC during its APR for the FY 2013-14. However, after
detailed deliberations the Authority rejected the review filed by NTDC and decided to uphold its
earlier decision of imposition of fine.

5.5.2 Initiation of Legal Action against NTDC for Extending Completion Dates of Projects:
Power projects are backbone to the national economy. The Authority observed abnormal delays
in NTDC’s power evacuation projects and development works, therefore the Authority decided
to initiate legal action against NTDC under NEPRA (Fines) Rules, 2002 for non-compliance of
direction of the Authority. In this respect, an Explanation under NEPRA (Fines) Rules, 2002 was
served to NTDC. Subsequently, a Show Cause Notice dated 05-05-2017 was also issued to NTDC.
NTDC submitted the response of Show Cause Notice and requested for personal hearing. The
legal proceeding is in process.

In order to verify the data related to interruptions, durations of interruptions, provision of new
connection, complaint handling mechanism, number of faults, and safety submitted by DISCOs
through their APRs and also to verify the media reports regarding unannounced load-shedding
and un-due delay in restoration of power supply NEPRA decided to carry out technical audit
the monitoring of DISCOs. Accordingly, monitoring/performance audit of FESCO, LESCO, GEPCO,
HESCO and SEPCO has been carried out.

5.6.2.1 Observations:
Following main observations were noted by NEPRA teams during visits of above noted DISCOs:

(a) Load-shedding was being carried out from 8 to 12 hours for some feeders in different
areas of Punjab DISCOs and 12 to 16 hours for some feeders in different areas of Sindh
DISCOs. Accordingly, it was observed that the DISCOs are not following the order of load-
shedding as provided in PSDR, 2005.

(b) Data related to tripping of visited grid stations does not correlate with the automated
tripping data recorded at PDC while the two also differ from the data submitted by these
DISCOs in their Annual Performance Reports.

(c) Damaged transformers on average are repaired after one week in urban and two weeks
in rural areas of Punjab DISCOs, whereas, time taken by Sindh DISCOs for repairing of
damaged transformers was noted around two weeks in urban areas and around one
month in rural areas.

(d) Voltage levels of incoming and outgoing feeders were not found within permissible limits
as prescribed in Performance Standards and applicable Codes.

(e) With regard to maintenance of grid stations, no regular maintenance of power transformers,
breakers, isolators and other essential equipment is being carried out.

(f) As per data provided, more than 40% of power transformers were overloaded.

(g) No proper procedure for handling complaints is being followed at customer service centers/
complaint centers. Even, staff was found unaware about complaint handling mechanism
and its recording in complaint registers.

(h) The data regarding number of complaints as submitted by DISCOs in their APRs does not
match with the actual noted in Complaint Registers.

(i) Safety requirements were not being followed. Tilted poles, transformers without d-fuses
resulting in leakage of current, improper earthing, increased number of fatal accidents of
employees and general public and non-adherence of safety work procedures were noted.

(j) Excessive/Overbilling was observed in form of detections charged upon some of the
consumers without any justification.

(k) Under-utilization of investment funds despite poor network conditions, was observed.

101
 5.6.2.2 Actions Taken/Fines Imposed:
In view of above, the DISCOs were found to be in violation of PSDR, Distribution Code and other
applicable documents. NEPRA, therefore, took appropriate actions. After due legal process,
Fines of Rs. 5 million, 4 million and 4 million have been imposed on HESCO, LESCO and GEPCO.
Meanwhile for FESCO, the Authority has rejected FESCO’s Explanation and a Show Cause Notice
has been issued to it. Whereas, regarding SEPCO all due legal process has been completed and
decision would be made.

5.6.3 Monitoring of PESCO:

NEPRA team visited PESCO from 13-18 June, 2017 to verify the media reports and complaint of
Energy and Power Department, Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa regarding long power cuts
and long delays in restoration of power in different areas of PESCO. In addition, the team was also
tasked to monitor the following:

(a) Availability of 13.5% PESCO’s share in country’s daily generation,

(b) Load-shedding in different areas of PESCO,
(c) Frequency of tripping of transmission and distribution networks,
(d) Implementation of investment plans,
(e) Measures to improve customer satisfaction,
(f) Safety measures being taken by PESCO to save the employees and public,
(g) Transmission/Distribution System constraints.

To check the operational performance of PESCO in view of above factors, the team carried out field
visits of grid stations, offices at sub-division and division level, complaint centers and field areas
for inspection of HT/LT distribution system. In this regard, following information was collected
from PESCO:

(a) Total share, demand, allocated quota and load drawn,

(b) Approved load-shedding policy/schedule,
(c) Transmission/Distribution System constraints,
(d) Detail of power transformers and their loading position,
(e) Detail of 132 kV transmission lines and their loading position,
(f) Detail of 11 kV feeders and their loading position,
(g) Detail of distribution transformers along with their loading
position, supply chain/procurement plan and stock status,
(h) Investment plans and its utilization,
(i) Verification of complaint handling mechanism,
(j) Details of overbilling/detections incurred,
(k) Ripe Connections,
(l) Progress on ToU meters,
(m) Customers’ feedback during public surveys.

Accordingly, following key observations relating to the operational performance of PESCO were
made:

5.6.3.1 Total Share, Demand, Allocated quota and Load drawn:

PESCO has a defined share of 13.5% of the total generation, however:

(a) The quota allocated to PESCO has remained less than its share of 13.5%.
102
(b) Actual power drawn by PESCO was even lesser than its allocated quota.
(c) The complaint of the provincial government is valid. It shows the inability and
inefficiency of PESCO’s management regarding improvement and rehabilitation of
its transmission/distribution network.
(d) A transparent mechanism is earnestly required at DISCO/NEPRA/Government level
so that all the stakeholders can access information of actual share in terms of MW.

5.6.3.2 Load-shedding and its Approved Policy/Schedule:

PESCO submitted that load-shedding is being carried out in line with the approved schedule of
Power Distribution Centre (PDC) and is based on AT&C losses of feeders. However, after verification
of data/information provided by PESCO, it was noted as follows:

(a) The approved load-shedding policy was not being followed by PESCO due to which
consumers were suffering from prolonged/extended load-shedding.
(b) The power outage report of PDC indicated a clear mismatch among load-shedding
policy, scheduled and actual load-shedding.
(c) During public survey, the consumers also complained about long power cuts and
deliberate tripping of lines by field staff.
(d) Load-shedding schedule was not shared with the district administration and needs
to be communicated to the district administration on a regular basis.

5.6.3.3 Transmission and Distribution System Constraints:

In July 2016, PESCO’s system was tested under peak load conditions and a maximum load of 1,942
MW was drawn by it with a total demand of 2,869 MW, resulting in deficit of 927 MW. Whereas,
on 25-06-2017 PESCO had drawn 2,013 MW and maximum demand recorded in June, 2017 was
3,069 MW with a deficit of 1,056 MW as compared to 927 MW in July, 2016. This showed that the
supply demand gap had increased from 927 MW to 1,056 MW. It was noted that, overloading of
power transformers and transmission lines had increased by 8.8% and 1% respectively during one
year. Similarly it was also observed that, overloading of feeders had increased from 277 to 314
during last one year. Furthermore, number of overloaded distribution transformers increased from
19,311 to 21,033.

5.6.3.4 Analysis of Material Management by PESCO:

Analysis of supply chain/procurement of distribution transformers revealed that PESCO had
insufficient number of distribution transformers available in stores and the procurement is on
lower side against overloaded distribution transformers. The detail is shown in the following table:

S. No. Description Unit As on June, 2017

1 Total number of transformers Nos. 72,078
2 Overloaded Transformers Nos. 21,033
3 Transformers available in store as on 17-07-2017 Nos. 323
Procurement Status of FY 2016-17
4 Tender floated Nos. 2,531
5 Quantity Received Nos. 1,263
6 Under procurement / pipeline Nos. 1,268
Source: PESCO

103
 5.6.3.5 Investment Plans and its Utilization:
By reviewing the data pertaining to investment plan and its utilization, as provided by PESCO it
was noted that, that investment for rehabilitation and improvement of PESCO’s network (Rs. in
million) had not been optimally utilized, in spite of a transmission/distribution system constraints
and load growth. The detail is shown in table below:

Financial Year Allocation Utilization Utilization (%)

2013-14 4937.1 2809.4 56.9
2014-15 6380.3 4067.6 63.8
2015-16 5635.1 6492.2 115.2
2016-17 6458.1 5069.1 78.5
Source: PESCO

The above table indicates that, PESCO could not fully utilize the allowed investment, except in
the FY 2015-16 to overcome the problems of overloading/system constraints. Overloading of
distribution system will persist in foreseeable future unless hectic efforts are undertaken by PESCO.

5.6.3.6 Grid Stations and Field Offices Visited:

NEPRA team visited a number of 132 kV grid stations and field offices of PESCO. In this regard,
following had been noted:

(a) PESCO was not implementing its SOP for repair and maintenance of grid stations
equipment in violation of Distribution Code.
(b) Consumers have suffered due to excessive forced load-shedding.
(c) Delays in respect of the following were also noted:
(i) Processing of cases for new connection,
(ii) Non-Replacement of defective meters in the sub-divisions visited,
(iii) Re-dressal of consumer complaints.

5.6.3.7 Overbilling/Detections Charged to Consumers:

By analyzing the data provided by PESCO, it was observed that consumers were being charged
with huge detections and overbilling.

During the period from July, 2016 to May, 2017 an amount of Rs. 6,174.18 million had been
debited to consumers. However, it was noted that Rs. 6,074.53 million had been credited over the
same period. This indicated that proper procedure was not followed while charging detection to
consumers.

5.6.3.8 Customers’ Feedback by carrying out Public Surveys:

NEPRA team also sought feedback from general public by visiting Hazarkhani Peshawar, Warsak
Road Peshawar, Tehsil Bazar Charsadda, Mirzadher Charsadda, Umerzai Charsadda, Pabbi
Nowshera, Jehangira Swabi, Bakhshali Mardan, Mingora & Saidu Sharif Swat and Abbottabad City
area of PESCO. The surveys were carried out regarding load-shedding, frequent tripping, voltage
fluctuations, transformer burnt/damages and repair issues and overbilling etc. The feedback
received from general public revealed the following:

(a) Consumers faced issues of excessive load-shedding, overbilling, severe voltage drop, new
connections, defective meters, theft cases, repairing of damaged distribution transformers
and deteriorated network condition resulting in safety hazards.
(b) Urban consumers were being fed from rural feeders resulting in long power cuts and
104 indicated the poor performance of PESCO’s management.
5.6.4 Key Findings by Monitoring Teams about PESCO:
PESCO failed to draw and utilize an average power of 333 MW ranging from a minimum of 172
MW to a maximum of 484 MW against its allocated quota in the FY 2016-17, inspite of available
capacity in its system. Data of demand, allocation and load drawn is given hereunder:

Less Drawn

(MW)
Average Maximum Average Average Maximum Average
2112 3069 1574 1242 2013 333
Source: PESCO

(a) The approved load-shedding policy was not followed before Ramadan and during
Ramadan by PESCO. The power outage report of PDC revealed a clear mismatch among
load-shedding policy, scheduled and actual load-shedding. PESCO violated of approved
policy and Rule 4 (f) of PSDR which requires that a DISCO shall have plans and schedules
to shed up to 30% of its connected load at any time keeping in view the priority order
mentioned therein in a non-discriminatory manner so as not to excessively burden a
particular class of consumers.
(b) PESCO failed to take remedial measures for removal of transmission/distribution system
constraints on the required level of priority, as the network condition further deteriorated.
More than 47% power transformers, 15.6% of transmission lines, 33.4% feeders and 29.2%
distribution transformers were overloaded, prima facie, in violation of Distribution Code
generally and particularly item 3.3 (b), 3.6 and 7 of Distribution Planning Code (DPC), item
2.2 of Distribution Design Code (DDC) and item 1.1(a), 1.1.2, 1.1.2.1 (b) and 1.1.5(b) of
System Performance Reliability (SPR) and Consumer Service Requirements of Distribution
Code.
(c) Analysis of supply chain/procurement of distribution transformers revealed that PESCO had
insufficient number of distribution transformers available in stores and the procurement
is on lower side against overloaded distribution transformers. The detail is shown in the
following table:

S. No. Description Unit As on June, 2017

1 Total number of transformers Nos. 72,078
2 Overloaded Transformers Nos. 21,033
3 Transformers available in store as on 17-07-2017 Nos. 323
Procurement Status of FY 2016-17
4 Tender floated Nos. 2,531
5 Quantity Received Nos. 1,263
6 Under procurement / pipeline Nos. 1,268
Source: PESCO

(d) Repair and maintenance of grid stations equipment was not being carried out properly
thereby affecting its useful life and leading to damages and overloading.
(e) No check on attendance of the officials, delay in processing of new connections, non-
replacement of defective meters, delay by line staff while attending consumer’s complaints
and unsatisfactory general cleaning were noted.
(f) Weak networks were observed to be the main cause of fatal accidents.
(g) Inability of PESCO to optimally utilize the investment for rehabilitation of its network
indicated that system constraints will persist, and further deteriorate with load growth.
It was noted that PESCO has no capability to improve its system and provide relief to its

105
 consumers already suffering from long hours of load-shedding.
(h) During the period July, 2016 to May, 2017 an amount of Rs. 6,174.18 million had been
debited to consumers. However, Rs. 6,074.53 million were credited over the same period
implying that proper procedure was not followed while charging detection to consumers.
(i) The data provided by PESCO revealed that 18,224 ripe connections were pending
(approximately on an average of 100 ripe connections per sub-division) for the month of
May, 2017 in violation of Rule 4 (c) of PSDR, 2005.
(j) Consumers faced excessive load-shedding, overbilling, severe voltage drop, delays in new
connections, defective meters, theft cases, delays in repairing of damaged distribution
transformers and deteriorated network condition resulting in safety hazards as reported
during public surveys.
(k) Urban consumers were fed from rural feeders, consequently affecting urban consumers
with long power cuts.

Explanation on above issues was been issued to PESCO under NEPRA (Fines) Rules, 2002 for non-
compliance of PSDR, 2005, Distribution Code and other applicable documents.

5.6.5 Monitoring of K-Electric Limited:

5.6.5.1 Visit during Ramadan (June, 2017) to verify load-shedding in Sehr and Iftar:
NEPRA team visited KEL to check the load-shedding schedule during Sehr and Iftar timings, to
verify the investments made by KEL vis-à-vis impact analysis and to monitor the performance
improvement as compared to previous year. Following major observations were noted by NEPRA
team during visit of KEL:

(a) Un-scheduled load-shedding in high and very high loss areas of Karachi due to
weak distribution network was observed.
(b) Condition of some of the grid stations was found unsatisfactory despite NEPRA
instructions conveyed to KEL during last year.
(c) KEL did not show impact analysis against investments made by it.

Accordingly, legal proceedings were initiated against KEL for carrying out load-shedding in a
discriminatory manner thereby, violating PSDR, 2005.

5.6.5.2 Power breakdown on 28-06-2017 and onwards:

According to the media reports, large area of Karachi remained without electricity due to tripping
of almost 700 feeders during rainy weather on 28-06-2017 and onwards, which resulted in long
power supply outage ranging from 24 to 48 hours in almost 50% of Karachi. Furthermore, fatal
accidents to public were also reported due to electrocution. The Authority took serious note of
performance of KEL and directed it to immediately provide a detailed report on feeder tripping
and electrocution incidents which occurred during above mentioned spell of rain along with
preventive and corrective steps taken by KEL.

In response KEL submitted that 584 feeders were tripped rather than 700 as there was heavy rain.
However, KEL did not provide the duration of tripping of 584 feeders against the media report
of 24 to 48 hours. Further, KEL submitted that only 3 public fatalities were reported against 22 as
reported in media on different dates of rain spell. The Authority considered the submissions of KEL
and found them unsatisfactory and decided to initiate legal proceedings.

106
5.6.5.3 Monitoring of power breakdown occurred on 21 & 22-08-2017 and onwards:
Large power breakdowns due to rainy weather on 21 and 22-08-2017 resulted in tripping of more
than 400 feeders. Accordingly, KEL was directed to immediately provide a report in this regard.

5.7 REVIEW OF RELIABILITY STANDARDS OF DISCOs AND LINKAGE WITH INVESTMENTS

On the repeated requests of DISCOs, a process regarding review of reliability standards i.e. SAIFI
and SAIDI was initiated by NEPRA. Based on the feedback of stakeholders and proposals of
consultants based on international best practices, NEPRA set new targets of SAIFI and SAIDI for
the FY 2015-16 and the FY 2016-17 separately for each DISCO which is a 5% and 10% reduction
over mean values of last five years of SAIFI and SAIDI, respectively repeated by the DISCOs.

In addition to above, a working was also carried out to link the performance of DISCOs with
the actual investments incurred by them. It was analyzed that how much reduction of outages
was achieved by DISCOs and KEL after incurring the amounts under investments and repair and
maintenance heads. During analysis it was observed that reliability power supply of some of
the DISCOs have declined despite making large investments. It was concluded that sub-optimal
utilization of funds and absence of correct data are the main reasons for such deteriorating
performance. NEPRA would continue interacting with DISCOs in this respect.

5.8 INITIATION OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST DISTRIBUTION LICENSEES

5.8.1 Legal Proceeding against the Licensees for the Violations of the NEPRA Act,
Rules and Regulations and the Applicable Documents:
NEPRA initiated following legal proceedings against the licensees regarding non-compliance of
the directions of the Authority:

(a) Legal proceeding under NEPRA (Fines) Rules, 2002 against DISCOs for non-
compliance of the directions of the Authority regarding digitization of distribution
network under licence Article 3.3.
(b) Legal proceeding under NEPRA (Fines) Rules, 2002 against Bahria Town (Pvt.)
Limited regarding non-compliance of the Authority’s directions to adjust the excess
charged amount to the consumers.

5.8.2 Inability of PESCO to Remove System Constraints of Transmission and Distribution

Network:
NEPRA regularly monitors the demand and power drawl capacity of DISCOs on daily basis. It
was observed that PESCO regularly draws less power as compared to allocated quota. Therefore,
PESCO vide letters dated 10-06-2016, 21-07-2016 and 02-02-2017 was directed to take measures
for up gradation/rehabilitation of its transmission and distribution network so that maximum
load/power may be drawn and relief be provided to consumers who suffer due to prolonged
hours of load-shedding.

As per Distribution Code 2005, DISCOs are bound to timely plan and upgrade/improve distribution
network and they shall develop procedures and guidelines for overcoming operational constraints.
PESCO failed to comply with directions of the Authority as well as provisions of Distribution Code
2005, in respect of system improvement, therefore an Explanation letter dated 10-04-2017 was
issued to PESCO. Subsequently, Show Cause Notice dated 26-05-2017 was also issued to PESCO.
The legal proceedings are under process.

107
 5.8.3 Un-Announced and Prolonged Hours of Load-Shedding by HESCO:
The HESCO system experienced frequent breakdowns and extended load-shedding, which have
been reported during the month of May, 2017. The media also reported that the prolonged hours
of load-shedding continued in HESCO during the holy month of Ramadan, 2017. The Authority
took notice of the events and sent a team on 04-06-2017 to monitor and verify load-shedding
situation in HESCO.

The NEPRA team visited different areas of Hyderabad, conducted survey of consumers and
inspected record at PDC. The team noted that contrary to the stated claims by the officials, the
consumers are being subjected to prolonged un-scheduled electricity outages of more than
sixteen (16) hours in a number of areas.

Based on the findings a detailed report was filed by the team, wherein, the finding pertaining to
longer power cuts other than scheduled load-shedding was prominent on which the Authority
while showing serious concerns, decided to initiate legal proceedings. Accordingly, an Explanation
was issued to HESCO for non-compliance of PSDR, 2005.

5.8.4 Un-Announced and Prolonged Hours of Load-Shedding by K-Electric Limited:

The KEL system experienced frequent breakdowns and extended load-shedding, which have been
reported during the month of May, 2017. The media also reported that the prolonged hours of
load-shedding continued in Karachi during the holy month of Ramadan, 2017. The Authority took
notice of the events in KEL and sent letters to KEL for reports in the matter. Further, High Court of
Sindh at Karachi in its decision dated 29-05-2017 in CP-D-3891/2016 directed NEPRA as follows:

(a) The NEPRA Authorities, being regulator of the KEL, are directed to make sure that
the instructions issued by it vide order dated 25-03-2016 are being complied with
by the KEL Authorities in its letter and spirit.

(b) Needless to state that in case of non-compliance by the KEL Authorities, the NEPRA
Authorities would be at liberty to take appropriate action in accordance with law
against the KEL Authorities.

In compliance of the aforesaid decision of the High Court of Sindh and considering the complaints
of general public and media reports, the Authority decided to verify the implementation status
of directions of the Authority. NEPRA team visited different areas of KEL, conducted survey of
consumers and inspected record and log books of 132 kV Grid Stations.

Based on the visit a detailed report was submitted by the team, wherein, the finding pertaining
to longer power cuts other than scheduled load-shedding was prominent on which the Authority
while showing serious concerns, decided to initiate legal proceedings. Accordingly, an Explanation
letter dated 23-06-2017 was issued to KEL under NEPRA (Fines) Rules, 2002 for non-compliance of
PSDR, 2005 and non-compliance of directions of the Authority. The legal proceeding is currently
ongoing.

REPORT 2017

INITIATIVES
BY NEPRA
 06
INITIATIVES BY NEPRA

Following sections provide details of initiatives by NEPRA pursuant to functions under the NEPRA
Act:

6.1 RATIONALIZATION OF GENERATION TARIFF PARAMETERS

As part of its regulatory process, NEPRA carries out reviews of various factors which form the
basis of tariff determinations. The aim is to ensure that the power sector tariffs are consistent and
reflective of prevailing economic and financial conditions of the country in general and the sector
in particular so that the tariff allowed to generation companies would not burden end-consumer
with imprudent costs.

After a comprehensive review and discussion with various stakeholders, the Authority has decided
to revise certain benchmarks and ceilings to be allowed for tariff components of generation projects.
In this respect, the Authority would seek input of all stakeholders on these recommendations
before these are finalized for application in tariffs. Following factors are under consideration by
the Authority:

(a) Banking Spread

(b) Debt and Equity ratios
(c) IDC and ROEDC
(d) Financing Fee
(e) Insurance
(f) Withholding Tax on dividends
(g) Availability

The Authority in principle continues to move towards promoting the competitive mode in
generation tariffs. However, these benchmarks will be used for the projects to be considered
under cost plus and upfront tariff regime.

6.2 REVIEW OF RATE OF RETURN

NEPRA has decided to review the returns offered in the power sector and prepared a concept
paper for determination of the rate of returns for the power companies which provided a basis
for determining the IRR for various technologies, value chain of power sector i.e. generation,
transmission and distribution and tariff regimes (cost plus, upfront). The basic objective is that the
IRR now needs to be effectively depicted against specific risk and return matrix and its adjustment
for a particular technology. The document was uploaded on NEPRA website for comments from
the stakeholders.

6.3 ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

NEPRA being the regulator of the power sector regularly interacts with relevant Environmental
Protection Agencies (EPAs) about compliance of their relevant acts by licensees and monitoring
carried out by EPAs in this respect. NEPRA also obtains compliance reports as required under
generation licence from the project companies.

To have further insight into the working of EPAs and their monitoring activities specifically in the
power sector, NEPRA organized a seminar on Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development

111
 on 30-08-2016. The seminar was attended by participants from various organizations. The main
objectives of the seminar were as follows:

(a) Awareness about environment among the stakeholders in Pakistan’s power

sector; especially after the expected changes in the current energy mix.
(b) Adequacy of existing Laws on environment protection and the role of
relevant bodies.
(c) NEPRA’s Role.
(d) Way Forward.

The representatives of Provincial Environmental Protection Agencies discussed about their

procedural aspects for monitoring of environment and demonstrated a strong commitment and
continuous monitoring by them, especially for upcoming coal fired power plants.

6.4 COMPREHENSIVE REDUCTION AND ELIMINATION OF POLYCHLORINATED

BIPHENYLS (PCBs)
The objective of this project of Ministry of Climate Change (MOCC) is to reduce risk for the human
health and the environment by avoiding the release of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in
the environment and preventing exposure to these. POPS can be defined in a number of ways
including the following:

(a) Chemicals with high toxicity originated through anthropogenic activities,

(b) Organic chemicals containing carbon and hydrogen are characterized by
adverse effects on life,
(c) Bio-accumulation, persistence and long range transport pose a threat to
humans and environment,
(d) POPs are widely used as pesticides and/or industrial chemicals.

The project has been arranged in four components:

(a) Development and implementation of a Regulatory, Policy and enforcement

system to reduce POPs releases,
(b) Capacity building of local communities and public and private sector
stakeholders to reduce exposure to and releases of POPs,
(c) Collection, Transport and Disposal of PCBs and POPs Pesticides,
(d) Monitoring and Evaluation.

NEPRA was involved on the POPs Project when a presentation was given by officials from the
MOCC on 16-08-2016 to the Authority in presence of officials from DISCOs, GENCOs, IPPs and
NTDC. Based on the outcome of the meeting the proformas for the development of inventory and
data collection on presence of PCBs in Pakistan’s power sector were issued to 255 stakeholders.
In response, two licensees including WAPDA Hydel’s Mangla Power Station and KEL reported the
POPs contaminated oil in their transformers. Whereas, the other licensees/stakeholders responded
in respect of presence of POPs contaminated oil as “Nil”.

The POPs project team has informed that the contaminated oil collected from transformers of
Mangla Power Station and KEL has been transported to Bestway Cement Plant located in Kallar
Kahar as per international and global codes including SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures)
of handling, transportation, storage and disposal of POPs under the supervision/guidance
112
of International Consultant. It is further apprised that the special containers having unique
composition have been used for transportation purposes.

Furthermore, keeping in view the economical and feasible option the aforesaid contaminated oil
owing to presence of POPs is then burned in rotary kiln of Bestway Cement Plant during cement
manufacturing process.

As per the POPs project team, the cement so manufactured during the burning of POPs contains
negligible residues of POPs i.e. PPM (parts per million) which are well within limits as prescribed in
National Environment Quality (NEQ) Standards and World Health Organization (WHO) Standards.
Collection of additional samples of oil will be undertaken in the coming months.

6.5 FORMATS FOR SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION FOR GENERATION COMPANY

In order to streamline the submission of requisite information by power generation companies in
line with already specified formats in respect of DISCOs, the Authority is in a process of preparing
the standardized formats for all the power generation technologies. As a first step, keeping in view
the comments of the stakeholders including AKLA and Bismillah Energy the formats for steam
turbine based power plants operating on coal, nuclear fuel, RFO, biomass, bagasse and solid
waste have been prepared which will be notified in near future. The formats in respect of other
technologies are under preparation.

6.6 INDUSTRY – ACADEMIA COLLABORATION

National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) is working closely with NEPRA on a research
proposal namely “Modeling and Simulation of Pakistan’s Electric Power Sector to develop a road
map for transition from the current single buyer model to a competitive whole sale power market”.

6.7 COAL PRICING – HIRING OF CONSULTANT

The need to hire a consultant for coal price adjustment emanates from the fact that there is no
regulatory mechanism for coal pricing and import verification process unlike oil, gas and LNG
prices, which are determined by the OGRA. NEPRA has initiated hiring of a Consultant in view of
the fact that at least three 1,320 MW each of coal projects based on imported coal are currently
under construction to achieve commercial operation within two years.

Also, some bagasse based co-generation power plants were also importing coal as alternative fuel
when bagasse would be unavailable.

The coal market is developing in Pakistan and is expected to increase manifold from current
level of about 5 million tons to more than 15 million tons per annum. As a result, there will be an
enormous amount of workload on a periodic basis for revision in fuel cost component of these
power plants. NEPRA has no well-defined mechanism for coal pricing and import verification.
Therefore, the consultant to be appointed would be required to prepare a manual for periodic
fuel price adjustment to verify the coal price of each cargo delivered to these power plants. The
Consultant will also be responsible for the following:

(a) To carry out detailed review of the pricing mechanism as determined by NEPRA, and
prepare the mechanism to fix different parameters like origin and date of coal cargoes
and shipments through relevant documents including invoices, letters of credit and bill of
lading etc.

113
 (b) Verify the FOB requested price with that of approved benchmark index price of that
particular coal origin and recommend a prudent FOB price on the basis of quality of coal
(benchmark index versus actually imported coal) and discounts (if any) of each cargo.

INITIATIVES BY STAKEHOLDERS

7.1 THE REGULATION OF GENERATION, TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION OF

ELECTRIC POWER (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2018
NEPRA was established through the Regulation of Generation, Transmission and Distribution
of Electric Power Act, 1997 as an independent regulator, in pursuance of the 1992 “Strategic
Plan for Privatization of the Power Sector” under which the entire energy sector was reformed
through sector unbundling and corporatisation and privatisation of utilities. The core objective
of the said 1992 plan was to pave the way for private sector participation under the oversight
of an independent regulator. Under the 1997 Act, NEPRA has 5 core functions, namely licensing,
tariff determination, prescribing rules and regulations, monitoring and enforcement of regulated
entities, settlement of disputes among licensee and safeguarding consumer interests.

Parliament has recently passed the Regulation of Generation, Transmission and Distribution of
Electric Power (Amendment) Act, 2018 [Act No. XII of 2018]. The Amendment Act has restructured
and evolved the energy sector in material respects and overhauled the role and responsibilities of
NEPRA. The material changes to the law introduced vide the Amendment Act are as follows:

7.1.1 NEPRA Structural and Operational Reforms:

The Amended Act, 2018 has revised the eligibility criteria for appointment of the Chairman and
Members of the Authority, along with appropriate revisions to provisions relating to terms and
conditions of employment and remuneration.

EXISTING LAW AMENDMENT

Chairman to have 20 years of professional experience Chairman to have 12 years of professional experience
Members to have 15 years of professional experience Members to have 12 years of professional experience
Age of retirement of Chairman/Members is 65 years Age of retirement of Chairman/Members is 60 years*
* Savings of term provided to incumbent members of the Authority

The Amendment Act has further revised the role of enacting sub-ordinate legislation, by relegating
various subject matters to the Authority for prescription of Regulations. Furthermore, the Federal
Government has now been granted the power to unilaterally draft and notify rules as deemed
appropriate, and all Rules shall be enacted with prior consultation with the Provinces.

Rules Regulations
Federal Government shall notify Rules on its own motion or NEPRA can make Regulations without seeking approval
on recommendation of the Authority in consultation with of the Federal Government
Authority and Provinces

Industry standards and uniform codes of conduct
Uniform system of accounts for generation, transmission
and distribution facilities
Period within which uniform system of accounts are to

Appointment of officers, members of staff and such other
persons and the terms and conditions of their service

7.1.2 Conflict of Interest:

The subject of conflict of interest, and its mitigation, has been introduced in statute. Conflict of
interest has been defined to cover direct or indirect financial interest or any connection with a
company connected to provision of electric power services. With this wide definition, an elaborate
procedure has been prescribed for members of the Authority to disclose and regulate their potential
conflict, while not compromising on the effective working of the Authority itself. Concurrently,
criminal liability of 1-year imprisonment and Rs. 10 million fine has also been introduced for
failure to disclose conflicts of interest.

7.1.3 National Electricity Policy and Plan:

A central concept introduced in the Amendment Act, 2018 is the National Electricity Policy and
the National Electricity Plan. The National Electricity Policy is to be prepared by the Federal
Government, with approval of the CCI and in consultation with the Authority, and the National
Electricity Plan is to be prepared by the Federal Government in consultation with the Provincial
Governments. A National Electricity Plan will be prepared for a period of five years.

The major force of these policy documents comes from the revised statutory provisions, which
prescribe that all functions of the Authority under the NEPRA Act shall be subject to the National
Electricity Policy and the National Electricity Plan. As such, all functions of NEPRA, including tariff
determination, licensing and monitoring and enforcement, are subservient to the provisions of
the Policy and Plan.

The National Electricity Policy shall cover the following subject matters:

(a) Efficient and Liquid Power Market Design

(b) Development of Systems for Optimal Utilisation of Resources (e.g. coal, gas, hydro)
(c) Integration of National and Provincial Transmission Systems
(d) Development of a Renewable Energy Market
(e) Any other matter relating to Development, Reform, Improvement and Sustainability
of the Power Sector

7.1.4 Market Reforms:

The major focus of the Amendment Act has been to introduce various market-based frameworks
in the energy sector, to create a competitive market regime. The law has introduced various new
entities and licencees that NEPRA will be regulating going forward. These include:

120
(a) The Market Operator
(b) The System Operator
(c) The Provincial Grid Company
(d) The Electricity Supplier
(e) The Electricity Trader
(f) Registered Persons under the NEPRA Act
(g) Removed exclusivity of Distribution Companies
(h) Gradual cessation of Generation Licence requirement (over 5 years)
(i) Moratorium of 5 years on provisions relating to market reform (except for Supplier and
Trader)
(j) All DISCOs will be deemed to be suppliers for a period of 5 years

In addition to the above, the Distribution Licence under previous regime has now been bifurcated,
with “Distribution” Licencees being restricted to the wire business and “Supplier” Licencees
undertaking sale of electric power. Furthermore, the service territory exclusivity previously enjoyed
by Distribution Licencees has also been removed by the legislature.

There are certain areas where transition from the existing regime to the scheme under the Amended
Act would present more challenges and clarity. These areas among others include, market design
and architecture, readiness of market entities, capacity building of regulatory authority, future of
CPPA-G and market entrants and market design responsibility of NEPRA.

7.1.5 Tariff Determination:

In comparison to the NEPRA Act, 1997 the Amended Act, 2018 provides a number of guidelines for
NEPRA for tariff determinations. NEPRA’s powers to determine tariffs have been restricted in a way
under the Amended Act. It is provided that NEPRA is to be guided by National Electricity Policy and
National Electricity Plan and Guidelines of Federal Government for making tariff determination.
Under the Act the Authority will be required to determine Uniform Tariff or Distribution Licensees,
wholly owned and controlled by a common shareholders on the basis of consolidated accounts.
It is noted that under the existing regime, NEPRA was required to follow Tariff Standards through
separate Rules. These standards have now been prescribed in Act as noted hereunder:

(a) Allow licensees to recover all costs prudently incurred

(b) Provide depreciation charge and rate of return based on investments of comparable
risk
(c) Provide rate of return to promote continued investment
(d) Provide mechanism for rewarding and penalising licensees for efficiency in cost
and quality of service
(e) Reflect Marginal Cost principles
(f) Preference for competition
(g) May be set below level of cost if tariffs financially feasible
(h) Reflect full cost of service
(i) Comprehensible, explicit and free of misinterpretation

7.1.6 Appellate Tribunal:

The Amendment Act, 2018 has introduced the Appellate Tribunal framework into law. Going
forward, all orders and determinations of the Authority shall be subject to appeal before the
Tribunal. The Tribunal shall comprise of 3 Members with diverse backgrounds and expertise.

121
 Members of the Appellate Tribunal are to be appointed on rotation by Federal Government on
nomination of Provinces. Appointment of Chairman will be for 4 years and Members for 3 years.
The Chairman and the members will be appointed for a single term. There will be one Member
Electricity and one Member Finance. The retirement age of the Members will be 65 years.

The Decisions are to be taken by simple majority. Appellate Tribunal will hear appeal against
decision of the Authority, Single Member or Tribunal. The Appeal is required to be filed within 30
days. If deemed necessary the Tribunal will conduct further inquiry and provide opportunity of
hearing. In case of disagreement with Authority on matter of tariff, Tribunal will remand matter
back to Authority with relevant guidelines which shall be duly considered by the Authority and
the Authority is required to review its decision within 1 month. Decisions of the Tribunal are
appealable before High Court.

Appeal Mechanism under the NEPRA (Amendment) Act, 2018

122
7.1.7 Offices of Complaints:
The NEPRA Act now contains a framework for establishing district level Complaint Offices for
handling complaints relating to overbilling, non-compliance of instructions respecting metering
and collection of approved charges, disconnection in case of non-payment of charges, electric
power theft and use of energy for purposes other than for which it was supplied. Application for
filing complaints shall be specified by Authority. Under the complaint system the Authority may
impose penalties of 3 years imprisonment and 10 Million PKR fine. The officers of DISCO involved
will also be punishable.

7.1.8 Expansion of Regulatory Powers:

Flowing from the above, NEPRA’s role in the forthcoming energy sector has also been revised,
with a major focus on the regulator’s enforcement powers. The Authority has been granted new
enforcement powers of investigation, prohibition orders, issuance of directions and indemnity.

7.2 PROGRESS ON GRID CODE REVIEW PANEL

Pursuant to Section 35 of NEPRA Act and Article 16 of the NTDC licence, the NTDC is required to
ensure that there is in force at all times a Grid Code. In this reference, the Authority has already
approved the Grid Code Addendum No. 1 for Grid Integration of Wind Power Plants and Grid Code
Addendum No. 2 for Grid Integration of Solar Power Plants. Regarding penetration of Renewable
Energy resources into the National Grid a study was carried out by M/s GOPA – International
Energy Consultants and based on the recommendations of consultants the amendment to the
aforesaid addendums was initiated in order to maintain the system security and stability at the
required level.

In this regard, Grid Code Review Panel (GCRP) met on different dates to finalize the RE share onto
the National Grid and amendments in the existing provisions. Accordingly, GCRP decided that a
total of 1,000 MW solar and 1,756 MW of wind power can be accommodated in the year 2016-
17 and revised the Grid Code Addendum No. 1 for wind power plants and submitted it to the
Authority for approval. The Authority approved the Grid Code Addendum No. 1 (Revision-1) for
Grid Integration of Wind Power Plants in August, 2017. The same has been circulated to all the
concerned stakeholders and uploaded on NEPRA web as well. NTDC has also been directed to
submit its Indicative Generation Expansion Plan for the year 2017-18 and submit the Wind Power
Plants addition for the next three years along with total installed capacities of the respective years.

Regarding revision in Grid Code Addendum No. 2 for solar power plants NTDC has been
communicated to expedite the process and submit it to the Authority for approval.

7.3 PROGRESS ON DISTRIBUTION CODE REVIEW PANEL

According to Distribution Code, all NEPRA Distribution Licensees must comply with Distribution
Code at all times. In this regard, the Distribution Code Review Panel (DCRP) was established in
October, 2014. DCRP met on different dates to deliberate on the issues of distribution companies
pertaining to interconnection issues of Generators and conerns of up-coming small Solar, Wind
and consumers involved in Net-Metering (Distributed Generation) to implement the Authority
approved, NEPRA (Alternative and Renewable Energy) Distributed Generation and Net-Metering
Regulations, 2015. Accordingly, the panel decided that:

(a) Single phase inverter meeting the specifications shall be accepted for 5 kW solar
Distributed Generator,
(b) Process applications for net metering upto 10 kW without any study,
123
 (c) Each DISCO shall establish net-metering facilitation cell,

7.4 PPIB ROLE, PLANNED ACTIVITIES, PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Private Power and Infrastructure Board (PPIB) is a “One Window” facilitator for investors in power
sector on behalf of the Government of Pakistan. Appreciating the IPPs model for implementation
of projects and bringing transparency and efficiency in the implementation and operation of
private sector projects, role of PPIB has been expanded by allowing it to facilitate public sector
projects in IPP mode. Currently PPIB is implementing thirty two multiple fuel (Hydro, coal and
RLNG) based projects of 20,686 MW power generation capacity. Out of these, 16 projects of
6,430 MW cumulative capacity are hydro based projects, 12 projects of 9,373 MW are based on
coal while 4 projects of 4,883 MW are based on RLNG. In addition, PPIB is working on enhancing
transmission network capacities, and currently implementing + 660 kV HVDC Matiari-Lahore
Transmission Line Project with the collaboration of private sector under “Policy Framework for
Private Sector Transmission Line Projects, 2015” (Transmission Line Policy). These projects are at
different stages of development, some are in testing and commissioning phase, some are under
construction, while others are under financial closing and pre-financial closing stages.

PPIB is also facilitating the provinces and investors in development of small hydropower projects
under tripartite Letter of Support (LOS) regime. In this regard, PPIB has recently signed facility
agreements with the Government of Punjab and Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa while the
said agreement will soon be signed with the Government of AJ&K. This initiative will attract and
encourage potential investors in developing small to medium size hydropower projects which will
enhance power generation capacity and reduce burden on the National Grid.

PPIB is a frontrunner institution in implementation of flagship CPEC initiative by processing major

chunk of power generation and transmission projects under CPEC framework. Form current
portfolio, nine coal based power projects of 8,220 MW, three hydropower projects of 2,714 MW
and a Matiari-Lahore Transmission Line Project worth billions of US$ are being processed by PPIB
under CPEC.

124
During FY 2016-17, PPIB continued its efforts for inducting sustainable and affordable power
generation in the National Grid to overcome the electricity crisis. PPIB is planning to advertise
five hydro based IPPs of 781 MW in near future which will further enrich National Grid with
affordable electricity. Currently PPIB is implementing two robust policy frameworks carrying
market competitive incentives and simplified procedures for the investors. “Power Generation
Policy 2015” and “Policy Framework for Private Sector Transmission Line Projects, 2015” have been
launched to attract new investments for development of new power generation and transmission
projects respectively.

ELECTRICITY GENERATION

11.1 GENERAL
Pakistan is facing chronic electricity shortages due to demand growth, high system losses, seasonal
reductions in the availability of hydropower and circular debt etc. Rotating power outages (“load
shedding”) are common and many villages are not yet electrified.

The power sector of Pakistan is a mix of thermal, hydro, nuclear and renewable energy power
plants. Originally the ratio of hydel to thermal installed generation capacity, in the country was
about 67% to 33% (1985) but with the passage of time, due to different reasons more of thermal
generation was added thereby reducing the share of hydel generation. At present, ratio of hydel
to thermal installed generation capacity is about 30% to 65%. The dilemma for Pakistan is that its
power production is dominated by thermal power plants running on oil and gas.

11.2 THERMAL POWER GENERATION

Majority of Pakistan’s power generation is thermal, with furnace oil, natural gas and high-speed
diesel as fuels; coal is almost non-existent yet. However, most of the upcoming power projects in
the country would be based on coal and gas. The import of oil contributes as one of the major
reason for current account deficit. Any strategy to cut current account deficit would require a cut
down in the oil imports and for this it is essential to reduce the electricity generation through oil.

11.3 THERMAL POWER GENERATION AND FUEL CONSUMPTION

Gas: During the year 2016-17, the share of electricity generated using gas in the total electricity
generation of the country was 48.58% while this share during 2015-16 was 50.99%.

Oil: During the year 2016-17, the share of electricity generated using oil in the total electricity
generation of the country was 49.24% while this share during 2015-16 was 48.81%.

RLNG: During the year 2016-17, the share of electricity generated using RLNG in the total
electricity generation of the country was 0.83%.

Coal: During the year 2016-17, the share of electricity generated using coal in the total electricity
generation of the country was 1.34% while this share during 2015-16 was 0.20%.

The historical record of thermal electricity generation using different fuels, from the years 2012-
13 to 2016-17 is given in the following table:

11.4 HYDEL POWER GENERATION

Pakistan has a potential of around 40,000 MW hydropower, whereas the installed hydel power
capacity of Pakistan at the end of fiscal year 2016-17 was 7,116 MW. The share of existing hydel
power installed capacity to the total installed generation capacity of the country is only 25.06%
while this share in year 1985 was around 67%. The share of hydel power generation during fiscal
year 2016-17, in the energy mix of Pakistan, was 26.60% as against 30.29% during same period
last year. Most of the installed hydel power capacity of the country is owned by public sector
(WAPDA) and only 214 MW of installed hydel power capacity is in private sector.

As discussed earlier, the availability of hydel power generation is subject to seasonal variation i.e.
it depends upon the reservoir levels, inflow of water and discharge of water from the reservoir.
Monthly variation in maximum hydropower generation capability, during past five years, as
provided by NPCC is given in the following table:

 11.5 NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION
Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, interalia, undertakes the projects of nuclear power plants’
development, operation and maintenance in the country. The 1st Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) of the
country, namely Karachi Nuclear Power Plant (KANUPP), was commissioned in 1971 in Karachi through
a turn-key agreement. The total installed capacity of this plant was 137 MW and the useful life of
this plant was 30 years. However, after completion of 30 years life, the Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory
Authority extended the operational life of this plant, by another 15 year at reduced capacity. The 2nd
NPP of the country, namely the Chashma Nuclear Power Plant (CHASNUPP-I) was commissioned in
year 2000 also through a turnkey agreement by China National Nuclear Corporation. The 3rd NPP
namely Chashma Nuclear Power Plant (CHASNUPP-II) was commissioned on May 18, 2011. The
installed capacity of this plant is 340 MW. During the reported period, the 4th NPP namely Chashma
Nuclear Power Plant (CHASNUPP-III) having installed capacity of 340 MW has been commissioned on
December 28, 2016.

11.6 RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION (WIND, SOLAR AND BAGASSE)

Pakistan, like other developing countries of the region, is facing a serious challenge of energy deficit.
Hence, Pakistan is working to expand the use of renewable energy to help bridge the gap of energy
deficiency in the country. The country is blessed with natural resources that can be utilized to create
electricity.

Renewable resources that are technologically viable and have prospects to be exploited commercially
in Pakistan include wind energy, geothermal, solar energy, tidal energy, micro/small-hydel, bio-
energy and emerging technologies like fuel cell etc. Pakistan can benefit from these resources and
can supplement existing energy resources as well as can use as primary energy source when no other
option in available.

The Coastal Belt of Sindh is blessed with a wind corridor that is 60 km wide (Gharo – Kati Bandar) and
180 km long (up to Hyderabad). This corridor has the exploitable potential of 50,000 MW of electricity
generation through wind energy. In addition to that there are other wind sites available in Coastal
Area of Balochistan and some in Northern Areas. Technically the grid can take up to 30-40% of wind
energy. Most of the remote villages in the south can be electrified through micro-wind turbines.

The Government of Pakistan established the Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB) in 2003
to create an environment in the country that is conducive to investment from the private sector
in renewable energy. Besides AEDB, the Irrigation and Power Departments of Punjab and Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa are actively involved in development of small hydel power plants. The Provincial/AJ&K
Organizations which are involved in development of small hydropower projects are as under:

i) Pakhtunkhwa Energy Development Organization (PEDO)

ii) Punjab Power Development Board (PPDB)
iii) Irrigation and Power Development Board, Sindh
iv) AJK Hydro Electric Board (AJKHEB) and AJK Private Power Cell
v) Northern Area Public Works Department

The details of the project undertaken by PEDO are included in this report. At present, the share
of renewable energy in the national grid of the country is non-existent as against a wind power
potential of 63,000 MW in the country.

12.1 GENERAL
In Pakistan, there are two companies which are, presently engaged, in the business of electric power
12
transmission under Section 17 of the NEPRA Act. One is NTDC and the other is K-Electric Limited.
NTDC is the National Grid Company of Pakistan and is exclusively responsible for construction,
operation, maintenance of 500 kV and 220 kV Grid Stations and Power Transmission Lines in
the country except for the area served by K-Electric. NTDC is a public sector company and came
into existence as a result of restructuring of WAPDA in 1998 and then obtained a transmission
licence by NEPRA in 2002. At present, NTDC owns a network of 500 kV, 220 kV and some 132 kV
(interconnections at CDPs) transmission lines and grid stations in its network.

Besides NTDC, the other company which is engaged in electric power transmission business
is K-Electric. K-Electric is a vertically integrated company operating in private sector since
2005. Earlier the company was in public sector and responsible for generation, transmission
and distribution of electric power in its service area. The transmission network of K-Electric is
connected to the national grid (NTDC system) by 220 kV and 132 kV links.

12.2 TRANSMISSION LINES AND GRID STATIONS WITH NTDC

13.3 DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
The continuity of supply is one of the most important indicators to measure the performance of
any DISCO. Besides others, the following indicators are commonly used to monitor the system
performance of DISCOs, in respect of reliability and quality of supply:

System Average Total annual number of all Consumer Power Supply Interruptions
Interruption Frequency =
Index (SAIFI) Total number of consumers served by the distribution company in a given year
System Average Aggregate sum of all Consumer Power Supply Interruption durations in minutes
Interruption Duration =
Index (SAIDI) Total number of consumers served by the distribution company in a given year

A comparison of SAIFI and SAIDI in respect of all DISCOs of the country, for the year 2012-
13 to 2016-17, is included in the following table. Pursuant to NEPRA Performance Standards
(Distribution) Rules, 2005 maximum allowed limit for SAIFI is 13 (No.) and for SAIDI is 14 minutes.

ELECTRICITY
TARIFF

ELECTRICITY TARIFF
14.1 GENERAL
The determination of tariff for electric power services is one of the primary responsibilities of NEPRA.
NEPRA determines electricity tariff, keeping in view the principles of economic efficiency and service quality
according to the prescribed Tariff Standards and Procedure Rules, 1998. Under Section 7 (3) of the NEPRA
Act, NEPRA has been expressly conferred the power to determine tariff, rates, charges and other terms and
conditions for the supply of electric power services by generation, transmission and distribution companies
and to recommend these to the Federal Government for notification.

14.2 TARIFF SETTING

The procedures and standards in accordance with which tariffs are required to be determined, modified or
revised are prescribed in the NEPRA (Tariff Standards and Procedure) Rules, 1998.

14.3 TARIFF STANDARDS

i) Tariffs should allow licensees the recovery of any and all costs prudently incurred to meet the
demonstrated needs of their customers, provided that assessments of licensees’ prudence may not
be required where tariffs are set on other than cost-of-service basis, such as formula-based tariffs
that are designed to be in place for more than one year;
ii) Tariffs should generally be calculated by including a depreciation charge and a rate of return on
the capital investment of each licensee commensurate to the earned by other investments of
comparable risk;
iii) Tariffs should allow licensees a rate of return which promotes continued reasonable investment in
equipment and facilities for improved and efficient service;
iv) Tariffs should include a mechanism to allow licensees a benefit from, and penalties for failure to
achieve, the efficiencies in the cost of providing the service and the quality of service;
v) Tariffs should reflect marginal cost principles to the extent feasible, keeping in view the financial
stability of the sector;
vi) The Authority shall have a preference for competition rather than regulation and shall adopt policies
and establish tariffs towards that end;
vii) The tariff regime should clearly identify interclass and inter-region subsides and shall provide such
subsides transparently if found essential, with a view to minimizing if not eliminating them keeping
in view the need for an adequate transition period;
viii) Tariffs may be set below the level of cost of providing the service to consumers consuming electric
power below the consumption levels determined for the purpose from time to time by the Authority,
as long as such tariffs are financially sustainable;
ix) Tariffs should, to the extent feasible, reflect the full cost of service to consumer groups with similar
service requirements;
x) Tariff should take into account Government subsidies or the need for adjustment to finance rural
electrification in accordance with the policies of the Government;
xi) The application of the tariffs should allow reasonable transition periods for the adjustments of
tariffs to meet the standards and other requirements pursuant to the NEPRA Act including the
performance standards, industry standards and the uniform codes of conduct;
xii) Tariffs should seek to provide stability and predictability for customers; and
xiii) Tariffs should be comprehensible, free of misinterpretation and shall state explicitly each component
thereof.

NEPRA is required to determine electricity tariff so as to protect the interest of the consumers as well as
electric power producers/suppliers. Any raise in tariff requested by the producers/ suppliers of electricity
has to be allowed or rejected by NEPRA after analyzing all the costs involved in the proposed sale price.
For any determination of tariff, the following points are generally considered by NEPRA in addition to other
points on a case-to-case basis:

i) Utility should be able to recover its costs with some surplus for capacity expansion or return
on equity.
ii) The average sale rate should provide for reasonable rate of return.
