Future Plans and Targets
Enjoying a laudable past track record, PPIB is committed to maintain its reputation of providing
services to the nation. As front line institution of the GOP, PPIB is working efficiently for development of
power sector on solid, reliable and sustainable footings. PPIB has already put bar on processing new
imported fuels based power generation projects for encouraging indigenous Thar coal, and renewable
hydro based power generation projects. The efforts of PPIB have started delivering positive outcome
as power sector is witnessing a remarkable growth of prioritized fuels and technologies which is a
healthy indicator towards attaining reliability and sustainability in the system. The increasing share of
indigenous coal and hydro has reduced the oil percentage to 17% of the energy history of Pakistan and
it is further declining with the gradual commissioning of new IPPs on indigenous fuels.
For fullfiling long term power requirements, the GOP has increased focus on least cost generation
options and use of domestic resources, particularly hydro potential in the north, renewable Wind and
Solar in south and local coal mostly available in Thar area. Creating an ideal balance amongst various
choices which are affordable within a sustainable socio-economic framework for the country would
form a solid base towards attaining long-term sustainability and reliability in the sector. PPIB is devoted
to implement the reform agenda of the GoP for developing power sector to make it an efficient and
profitable sector under the Indicative Generation Capacity Expansion Plan (IGCEP) which will be
revised every year on the basis of ground realities including growth trajectory, consumption patterns
and completion or delays in projects to ensure regulatory compliance. The IGCEP specifies various
generation requirements, fuel choices, technologies, plant sizes, timing of their addition into the
system, and in many cases their location as well. The plan will continue to focus on least cost generation
options and on harnessing indigenous resources, particularly Thar coal and renewable in south and
hydro potential in the north.
There are various important bipartite and tripartite activities involved in processing of a power
generation project such as tariff determination, land acquisition, generation license, environmental
clearance, IA, PPA, WUA, CSA, TSA, FSA etc which are interdependent on each other and if this cycle of
activities is disrupted by any single activity, it impacts the overall chain thus disturbing the project
timelines. Therefore, for ensuring smooth processing of projects, well-coordinated efforts amongst all
relevant stakeholders as well as Project Sponsors play a critical role. PPIB has always been determined
in timely execution of all activities by maintaining close liaison with relevant stakeholders as well as
other federal and provincial levels key players. Since upcoming projects are at advance stages of
development, hence require added attention for accomplishing critical milestones. Accordingly, for
future, PPIB would continue to be focusing on efficient handling of the portfolio of projects in the
backdrop of prevailing COVID-19 challenge. In this regard, PPIB's immediate target would be to
complete eleven (11) IPPS of more than 5,000 MW mostly based on Thar coal and hydro during the
period 2020-2022.

Fuel wise portfolio of ongoing power generation being handled by PPIB vis-à-vis targets set for
accomplishing various tasks related to projects development are elaborated hereunder:
Hydropower Generation
Apart from being comparatively longer gestation periods, hydropower being a clean source of
electricity with other allied advantages, remains on the favourite list, world wide, hence, it is all time
favourite choice of the policy makers. Beside direct advantage of generating electricity, development
of a hydropower project brings several indirect benefits which include but not limited to creation of
employment opportunities, development of allied infrastructure and industry, boosting agriculture
industry through smooth supply of electricity and water, flourishing tourism activities in the area,
initiation of community welfare programs under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). However,
hydropower generation is dependent upon the hydrology which varies on seasonal basis. Further the
remote location of hydropower plants, higher construction cost, longer transmission lines etc. are the
potential challenges in development of hydropower projects in Pakistan. As discussed in detail earlier,
currently PPIB is processing a portfolio of fourteen (14) hydro IPPs of 6,175 MW which are at different
stages of implementation, some are at LOS stage while various IPPS are at post LOS, FC and
construction stages. Similarly, there are few projects which are being planned to be awarded through
ICB process under the Power Generation Policy 2015 and subject to the roadmap of IGCEP.
